All three crewmembers were transported to a hospital in Ireland, close to where the submarine was when the fire broke out. In doing so, the Canadian government was sparred further embarrassment from the incident by not having the injured personnel not wait for medical attention in a Canadian hospital with depleted resources due to cuts over the last decade. The Liberals are already trying to deflect blame thrown at them from the opposition, claiming that the problems reported on the purchased subs where all normal, and that the inspection teams did all they could prior to allowing the subs to leave dock. Meanwhile, the Navy insists that these submarines were needed in their plans for defence. We now have to ask ourselves what exactly that plan could be. Canadians have to be realistic. There is absolutely no point in trying to develop a strategic plan against any nation. There is no way the most powerful nation in history will allow Canada to be invaded, and there is no way Canada would be able to defend its self if ever the American lose their minds and attack Canada. The submarines would also present a target for terrorists. They attack with vans, plans and cargo containers (okay, this last one I got only from movies, but you never know…). There is little a diesel-fuelled submarine will be defend against known terrorist capabilities, so that’s rules them out. That leaves foreign fishing boats, Green Peace and Whales as they only potential targets left for the Canadian Navy. Do we have a Captain Ahab leading the Canadian Navy? Doubtful, since there are some Canadian boat tours that add Whale sightseeing as an incentive to pay good money for a three-hour tour. That leaves the Spanish fishing boats. They have continuously ignored warning by the Canadian government about fishing in their waters. The fishing industry is in decline, with the Maritime Provinces being the most affected, as they have become Canada’s own 3rd world nation. Could Canadians have paid 750 million dollars to deter the Spanish? There own version of a new cold war? There is no other explanation for it. No other reason for it, other than to scare away the Spanish boats, or the fish from under the Spanish boats and drive them to Canadian nets. Either way, after a quarter of a billion dollars in initial cost, with hundreds of millions more in maintenance and repair costs, and now 1 human life, Canadians are paying dearly. To be insulted for your national defense is one thing, but to have a government force Canadians pay for the upkeep of those insults is more than just a slap in the face, it is a reason to fight back.
It's official. Nobody likes SOPA, at least not outside of Hollywood and the recording industry. Each of the leading presidential candidates has come out against the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act and its companion Protect IP Act in recent days, including President Barack Obama and his administration. Obama and the field of Republican presidential hopefuls, in varying degrees, say the legislation would infringe on freedom of expression and undermine a free Internet. Their opposition signaled a substantial erosion of support for PIPA and SOPA, which have since been shelved. Where the Presidential Candidates Stand on SOPA and PIPA originally appeared on About.com US Politics on Monday, January 23rd, 2012 at 07:00:13.

A Cheap Holiday in Other People's Misery (catching up with Mordechai Vanunu in Israel) One of my favourite pieces of music is the Sex Pistols' classic 'Holidays in the Sun' - a song that begins with the line, 'a cheap holiday in other people's misery'. This would have made a fitting epitaph for my holiday in Israel, except that the $3000 air ticket meant that it wasn't exactly cheap.I went to Israel full of apprehension. Just knowing what we all know of the backdrop of paranoia and pain that hangs over that land is enough to make anybody apprehensive, but I also went carryi… 2.

Euthanasia By Andy Carloff Euthanasia has often been referred to as a "mercy killing," ending another's life to prevent them from suffering any more of life's ills. But more than that, it has always been held as a sad good-bye, providing material for haunting nightmares, the act of the killing itself just as necessary as death is to life. The sight of our loved one, slowly passing away from this world, with little hope, will forever be remembered. When the darkness basks our world in night, and those evil thoughts th… Celine Dion 4.

As David Brooks of The New York Times writes, 'economics was the queen of the social sciences.' Psychology, sociology, history and anthropology were 'easier', not quite so solid. No longer. Economic theorists used to assume that people everywhere were natural 'profit-maximizing creatures trending toward reasonableness.' They believed that as people throughout the world became better educated a… |
