Today is March 26, 2011. The sun is shining but the temperature outside my window is minus 1 in the sun but the air is minus 7 or lower. I feels like the world is on the cusp of change and it has nothing to do with the weather. The Conservative Government of Canada has fallen in the House of Commons and an election will be called.
The election will be a bull shit affair with nothing but mud slinging by the four parties and no new ideas or visions for the country. The Governing Conservatives were competent but it has been difficult to trust them and we worry that Canada is drifting into a lap dog position with respect to American military industrial complex. Canada could be an avatar for the US military in the middle east and Afghanistan. It seems to be the situation in Libya at the moment.
What is going on there anyway. Egypt had a ‘revolution’ earlier this year but it seems that the government is cracking down on people who thought they had won their freedom. Could it be that the American and Israeli managers have figured out how to restore ’stability’ to the region by oppressing the voices of the youth once again.
We don’t see voices from the “West” condemning people in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and other countries where people are being killed by their governors for daring to do what the Egyptians and others have done.
The nuclear tragedy that followed the earthquake and tsunami in Japan is still of major concern to the world.
The world economy is still fragile particularly in the US and the EU. Oil prices are climbing rapidly and the cost of fuel is going through the roof again.
