Within this graphic there is one poppy for each Canadian soldier and one maple leaf for each Canadian civilian killed in Afghanastan . I hope that I shall not have to update it often if at all.
Please take the time to show your respect for all that have served and those who continue to serve. Eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. two minutes, it is a pittance of time
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs — Victory in spite of all terror — Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."
Sir Winston Churchill
I would say that those two quotes are just as valid today as they were back then.
Of cold wars, communists, the threat of nuclear war, world war three and all that good stuff. Back when reporters reported real news not hype, speculation and the rest of the garbage they put out now.
FEAR the planet is warming! We are all going to die! Or at least if we fudge the figures a bit we can make it look that way. Then get the media to ramp up the hype and wallah! Oh crap, the people are losing faith in this fear, change the page.
FEAR the H1N1 flu! We are all going to die! Its a pandemic! Well it is if we ignore our own definition of a pandemic and just say it is. Make sure the media gets on this one right away! Tada!
What is the next tactic that the UN is going to come up with to put the fear into you? Just keep screaming and making people not believe in their own governments and next thing you know, poof, people are handing over their rights to the UN and the one world government. Moe Strong must be loving this.
More than 75% of Canadian employees are not worried about losing their jobs: study
An Ipsos Reid study has found that 78 per cent of Canadian employees are not concerned that they may lose their jobs or be laid off this year because of the recession.
The finding, released Wednesday in Ipsos Reid's Build a Better Workplace syndicated study, is a slightly higher figure than was reported in a previous study in January, when the national score was 76 per cent. It represents employee concerns expressed in the last week of May.
That is MY POSITIVE spin of this story
CBC chose to spin it another way. Not that I am surprised.
