Friday Blog Notes Nov. 9th 2007
Well, it was a long week with our special coverage of Noel last weekend. Next week we will look at Bob McCown’s new book The 100 Greatest Hockey Arguments. This one is a lot of fun!
I also want to take you on a journey to the troubled country of Pakistan and explain why this country is so important to Canada and the world. The internal domestic situation there could explode and will have repercussions everywhere — perhaps, catastrophic.
Maritime Morning will also look at the troubling rise of the Canadian dollar. What was once a novelty when the Loonie was on par with the American dollar has become a real concern. The dollar is creating a new, divergent, North American economy that will devastate the manufacturing sector, to name but one.
Also next week, we will look at the world of Alberta oil and the book Stupid To The Last Drop, by Bill Marsden. Marsden believes that we are sleepwalking toward a made-in-Canada environmental crisis.
Dr. Lori Secoular-Beaudry will be by next week to council us on how many people are giving up their real lives, and real in-person interaction, for the internet!
Lisa Teryl will be by too for The Law, and our place in it.
It will be an action-packed, fun week.

On the environment, glad to see city council against selling tags so the wealthy could put out more than six bags of garbage. Now if they could only learn how to fix the property tax issue. My property taxes were $3600.00 last year. I have a well, septic system, no sidewalks and no bus system. Hope my garbage man is paid well…

Hey Andrew, why don’t we just raise all the rural towns and force everyone into the city.
What you are suggesting is UnCanadian. We must take care of ALL of our people where ever they live. That’s the socialist aspect of Canada.
