There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by sword. The other is by debt.” – John Adams

lets look at this:


Premiers get historic shot at fostering U.S. trade ties

Seven leaders to meet governors to improve relationships between states and provinces

Flexing their combined political muscle, Ontario's Dalton McGuinty and six other premiers are meeting with U.S. governors and members of President Barack Obama's cabinet in Washington.
In a historic summit of sub-national leaders, the premiers' Council of the Federation is gathering with the powerful National Governors' Association on Friday with hope of improving trade relations between provinces and states.

LOOK what was reported minutes after this posting was put together:
Washington managed to pocket the provincial governments’ offers on the table, while leaving its Buy American preferences almost fully intact, writes Scott Sinclair of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.

Now we take a look at this situation , which is in the U.S but it has already been initiated in Canada by an International Corporation that pose's under the guise of Independence, which will be linked later in the the blog.

As a record number of US citizens are struggling to get by, many of the largest corporations are experiencing record-breaking profits, and CEOs are receiving record-breaking bonuses. How could this be happening; how did we get to this point?

The Economic Elite have escalated their attack on US workers over the past few years; however, this attack began to build intensity in the 1970s. In 1970, CEOs made $25 for every $1 the average worker made. Due to technological advancements, production and profit levels exploded from 1970 - 2000. With the lion’s share of increased profits going to the CEOs, this pay ratio dramatically rose to $90 for CEOs to $1 for the average worker.

As ridiculous as that seems, an in-depth study in 2004 on the explosion of CEO pay revealed that, including stock options and other benefits, CEO pay is more accurately $500 to $1.

Now lets have a look at how some of these Corporations treat their employees in the name of the almighty Dollar, you decide for yourself where the money goes and who is doing all the screaming for assistance.

Insurance giant AIG, the same company that rewarded its executives with millions in bonuses and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a spa retreat at an exclusive California resort and private jets, has been nickel and diming employees of private contractors injured in Iraq, with a pattern of denying and delaying their claims.

OTTAWA ­- Disabled Nortel workers who will see their benefits cut off at the end of the year are hoping to take their fight to a human rights tribunal.
As well, news that Nortel is requesting permission from Canadian and U.S.
courts to pay $92 million in retention bonuses to executives selling off the final pieces of the company.Take those bonuses times two and every disabled employee would be taken care of, but better to give that money to the people who don¹t need it.

If you think this is just beginning to happen in Canada you better think again,it has been happening for almost a Century now , just that our Governments have kept it in silence, as they are just as guilty for allowing this situation to happen to begin with, but then again it is all their doing as well; with corporate guidance they turn us all into disposable slaves, while we get the crumbs off the table.

So how do you feel now about the situation that we are being put into? I feel like a disposable slave, that enables the despots to takeover in the name of democracy. Then again according the The Uncle John's Bathroom Readers for Kids; Democracy meant for mob rule and unchecked, it would pose a grave threat to life, liberty and property, which was conventional wisdom in the 18th century, well into the 19th century in North America and Western Europe (January 2004.

Lets Dissect Ed Stelmach’s Big Plan’s for New Session


Summaries of nine pieces of legislation that the Conservatives plan to pursue this winter and spring offer a glimpse of the government’s agenda. 

Alberta Competitiveness Act aims to increase partnerships between the government and industry and improve the province’s competitive edge in the global economy;

Is this giving the large Corporations more power inAlberta on an International scale along with more input into Government policy and Legislation?

• Professional Statutes Amendment Act requires professional regulatory organizations to consult with ministers before changing which education courses or programs are required for registry;

Does this mean that Regulatory Organizations have been picking and choosing on those who they wish to train or re-train?

• Securities Amendment Act will allow for the regulation of credit-rating agencies and will broaden the Alberta Securities Commission’s power to deal with faulty disclosure statements;

Is the Government saying that the credit rating agencies investigating into Alberta Securities Commission are faulty? Claiming that anyone that speaks out against their "private dealings" are wrong as the Alberta Government is wanting to protect all those investors who profited by these acts?

• Elections Statutes Amendment Act will streamline how provincial elections are held;

This so the Progressive Conservative Party can control the elections much more effectively and secretly then they already have been. After all hasn't Alberta brought in another politician to speak publicly and give his advice, that has been under question for elections tampering in his own country

• Fatal Accidents Amendment Act will make eligibility for bereavement damages less restrictive;

Does this pertain to death by employment (WCB);, by criminal acts; 3rd party accidents; covered by work insurance; regular insurances or the uninsured ?

• Witness Security Act will establish a provincial witness security program to complement the current federal system;

This in place to protect those involved in the new Bill’s to be introduced? Certainly wouldn't be put in place for me or any other person that blows the whistle on Alberta Government

• Local Authorities Election Statutes Amendment Act clarifies rules of residency for local government elections;

Am interested to hear more, as there are many windows to this statement, which could go any direction, like does this pertain to the Candidate , the voter or where most of a certain partisan community lives?

• Emergency Management Amendment Act will improve liability protection for search and rescue members and their organizations;

After what happened in B.C this makes e wonder if it is to protect the Volunteers from law suit of the people they rescue or  the insurance companies that say the person was injured by the rescuers, so they can get their cost's back
The Dangerous Goods Transportation and Handling Amendment Act will harmonize provincial rules with federal legislation.

This  makes some sense as keeping all the Dangerous Goods rules of the road equal across Canada,only a professional truck driver would know of any implications here;
now can they do something about the rail roads?
