Is It Really A Carbon Tax?
This past Friday, I was listening to Alder Online with the host Charles Adler speaking with his guest, Liberal MP from Thunder Bay, Ken Boshcoff. What came out of the show was some refreshing, but brutal honesty about the real underlying meaning behind the proposed Liberal “Carbon Tax” plan. Let Mr. Boshcoff tell you in [...]

Who says farming is easy! These photos were emailed to me, so I am not sure where they came from. If they are your photos and you want credit, let me know. If they are your photos and you don’t want them online, let me know as well!

The Ant & Grasshopper
Sent to me via Pat!
*Disclaimer* - This is all in fun and not my work. Someone else wrote it as a joke.
CLASSIC VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and [...]
Yes We Can Vote
For all of my American friends, today is Super Tuesday and your chance to vote and help change your nation by finding your leaders for the upcoming presidential elections. It is pretty wild that I found on DipDive.com this video of Barack Obama with Will I. Am. getting some of his celebrity [...]
We Remember
The word “peacekeeper” is a big part of Canadian heritage, but it also tends to have Canadians forget what happened before “peacekeeping”. We had soldiers fight and lose their lives for our freedom throughout Canadian history. Let us not forget.

Music Sharing Scare
It would seem that some of the major record labels in the USA are trying to get a court order for Internet Service Providers to name their customers who share music on the Internet.
This is the first such case in North America, possibly the world, where record labels are trying to force an Internet company [...]

The problem is, Kurt shot himself to end his life in a tragic gunshot second and destroyed the likes of Nirvana forever.
Kurt left behind his wife and the rest of the [...]
World’s Free Another Day
While today was supposed to have multiple terrorism attacks throughout the world, nothing major happened. The world moved on with several moments of silence for the fallen of last year’s attacks.

Smart advise.
I will never forget the phone call that [...]
