\u2018Exclusive\u2019- CBSA immigration arrests during spot checks stir controversy<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { CBSA = Canada Border Services Agency. One person who wasn\u2019t happy about police doing a \u2018spot check\u2019 demanding identity papers from \u2018suspicious looking\u2019 -minority- people and arresting suspected illegally working \u2018foreigners\u2019 worried that if the police get away with this they might escalate and demand ever more intrusive documentation from random people in random spots, \u2018just because they can\u2019. A First Nations young woman claims she\u2019s been stopped and interrogated under suspicion that she might be a prostitute because she was walking alone while looking like a First Nations woman. \u201cWhat are they going to do? Arrest unemployed women or demand proof of employment before they\u2019ll allow anyone to walk anywhere because they think she just might be a prostitute and didn\u2019t offer them freebies?\u201d }<\/p>\n

-New- Couple charged with kidnapping Amish sisters intended harm: police\u00a0<\/span> { A couple in northern New York were arrested and charged with intending to physically harm or sexually abuse two Amish sisters after abducting them from a roadside farm stand (7:11 am EDT) }<\/p>\n

Internet outages, slowness spike expected with \u2018512K\u2019\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 { \u00a0 \u2018512,000 internet destinations\u2019 = a milestone- Here- in their words, \u201cWhen the number of destinations on the internet surpasses 512,000, users will experience overall internet slowness if they rely on an internet service provider that uses older, affected routers.\u201d\u00a0 An alternate headline points to the same story:\u00a0 \u201cInternet outages spike as network gets too big for some routers\u201d *Sounds like somebody\u2019s trying to open the argument that internet providers should be allowed to fleece their customers or throttle their services down to a crawl on anyone who can\u2019t afford top dollar for services that are not<\/span> driving any providers to the poor house\u00a0 }<\/p>\n

Newfoundland\u2019s Stephanie Branton is Playboy\u2019s Miss September<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { -Um- When a well respected news service publishes a story like this I wonder if they\u2019re either remarkably open minded and believe that we should all celebrate a good looking young woman posing naked for Playboy Magazine, or was this a really slow news day in Newfoundland? }<\/p>\n

New- Lac-M\u00e9gantic report to be retiring TSB chair\u2019s final act\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 { Lac-M\u00e9gantic was the site of the horrendous explosion and fire when a rail road train, left unattended -due to laws regarding the length of time engineers could work without rest (and the railroad not willing to pay a second shift to ride along, rested, and take over when the first shift needed a break-) had its brakes fail and rolled down hill into a small town where it exploded and burned and killed 47 people last year. }<\/p>\n

Girl Power: Vancouver, U.S. girls representing at Little League World Series\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 {\u00a0 }<\/p>\n

Alien probe: Report details 25 years of UFO sightings in Canada<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { Quick, somebody call the crew at Coast to Coast am, does this look like a major media outlet is admitting that there might be ET\u2019s flying around, waiting for an invitation to land and say hello? }<\/p>\n

CP Rail \u2018Bullying\u2019 Vancouver by ripping up community gardens, mayor says<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { *Yup, I think I called it bullying, yesterday.* }<\/p>\n

\u2018Totally irresponsible\u2019 of Canada Post to request doctor\u2019s note for home delivery: CMA<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 {\u00a0 CMA = Canadian Medical Association. They\u2019re claiming that sending old and infirm citizens to doctors\u2019 offices for notes to excuse them from walking past the mail boxes they\u2019ve been getting their mail at all their lives in favor of cluster boxes like the ones in the photo \u2013 that may be at the end of a long road -or who knows how far away- will expose those aged and infirm, medically compromised people, to needless expense and probably expose them to\u00a0 contagious germs from sick people in those doctors\u2019 waiting rooms.\u00a0 \u00a0 *My opinion coming up*: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper wants to be everything that G.W. Bush tried to be. Harper\u2019s a Conservative who wants to un-fund everything and funnel all government money into his and other corrupt\/greedy pockets. I\u2019ve said way too often here that federal, state, (provincial) & local governments have been lying since the 1940\u2019s about where their money comes from, how much of it they have and where it goes. More than two thirds of local, state\/provincial, and federal governments\u2019 money comes in through \u2018other than tax monies\u2019- But they keep on claiming that the only money they get is through taxes. Go read through CAFR1.com<\/a>\u00a0 <\u2014 Link. \u201cGovernment\u2019s True Wealth Exposed\u201d \u00a0 They could stop collecting taxes now and provide more and better services than they do. \u201cAusterity Programs\u201d are pure and utter B.S. I can\u2019t wait to see what happens when we hit that magic level when enough people cry out to force the puppets we\u2019ve \u2018elected\u2019 to office to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.\u00a0 }<\/p>\n

Ebola and the economics of fear: Don Pittis<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { *So, whattaya think? Do you suppose there are vapid stories about Ebola every night on t.v. ,and everywhere else, because big Pharma is making money on something here? Or maybe planning on making big money on some magic new cure that people don\u2019t need, but might be able to be frightened into believing they just might need?}<\/p>\n

TFSA penalties, StatsCan\u2019s big mstake, and Jibo\u2019s debut: BUSINESS WEEK WRAP<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { TFSA = Tax Free Savings Account. People get penalized when they withdraw money from one of those before retiring. Statistics Canada reported that only 200 new jobs were added to the economy last July, then withdrew that number and came back saying there were actually 42,000 new jobs \u2013 most of them part time- And I don\u2019t think we should trust these numbers anyway, Nobody\u2019s given out real unemployment numbers in as long as I can remember- it\u2019s b.s. again. If they say 7% unemployment- the real numbers are probably more like 24% because they don\u2019t count people who have given up or can\u2019t collect unemployment comp because they\u2019ve been unemployed too long. }<\/p>\n

Oilsands investments at risk from low crude prices, report finds\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 { Oilsands investments are at risk because Oil companies are dishonest manipulative ice-holes who have squashed and buried any competing technological advances that could show people that we don\u2019t need their stinkin fuel. And they are totally devastating the \u2018oilsands\u2019 region and killing the whole eco-system out there. }<\/p>\n

HBO\u2019s Game of Thrones comes to Vancouver<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { This is the last stop on the Exhibits\u2019 World Tour- it ends on or before September 1st. You too can sit on the iron throne- or gawk at dresses worn by characters in what is becoming my favorite television experience in the last couple years-\u00a0 Can\u2019t wait for the return of \u201cHeroes\u201d with a reportedly whole new cast of characters- Next year?

Yes, Stephen King and 900 other authors are angry with Amazon\u2019s heavy handed dealings with publishers to force prices down so they can undersell other \u2018outlets\u2019.

More Power outages on the way, says NB Power\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 { Jesse Ventura lives \u2018off the grid\u2019 in Mexico. He told us in an interview last week or the week before that he had no outages at all, no down time with his off the grid system, then had to come to Minnesota for some legal issues and suffered several outages in his \u2018high end\u2019 neighborhood while there.

First Nation chiefs ask court to block forestry agreements<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { The Conservative Premier of New Brunswick is spouting \u2018we need the jobs\u2019 and that line of b.s. and signing over rights to big corporations to cut down previously protected areas of \u2018Crown\u2019 forests.

Windsor Energy lawsuit against N.B. government linked to election\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 { The president of Calgary based Windsor Energy said that the timing of this $105 Million lawsuit was absolutely political to get even with a Member of the Legislature\u2019s claim that Windsor Energy violated the law when it did seismic testing in 2011 in New Brunswick. Windsor Energy wants to point the finger at politicians and scream \u201cThey\u2019re incompetent!\u201d * I saw no mention of Frakking in this story, but the more I hear about frakking the more dangerous I believe that practice is, and if CEOs of Energy companies are going to use heavy handed tactics to try to blackmail governments into allowing them to FRAK at will, I think we need to take these energy companies down, with extreme prejudice.
