    It`s scary to think what the future could bring.
    What`s the solution??

  2. Pterj:
    PS: I was referring to the abandoned US malls. As for Mirabel–at least they have the decency to demolish it!

  3. Abandoned malls kind of have a perspective when you consider that China is slated to pass the US economically in the near future.
    Trudeau’s Mirabel cost 500 million dollars in 1970 dollars. Can you just imagine what his empty headed spawn will do to this country.

  4. Ukrainian authorities reinstated conscription in a bid to deal with the deteriorating security situation in the country.
    Oleksandr Turchynov, the acting president, reintroduced compulsory military service in a decree signed on Thursday, a day after he admitted that security forces have effectively lost control of two eastern regions to a pro-Russian rebellion.
    The decree cited “the rising force of armed pro-Russian units and the taking of public administration buildings… which threaten territorial integrity”.
    Former President Viktor Yanukovych abolished conscription in 2013, as part of a reform aimed at switching to a professional military.

    I suspect that the Russian stooge Yanukovych abolished conscription knowing what the Russian future plans for Ukraine were.

  5. Ukraine’s moral position is downgraded by the imposition of military enslavement on its people.

  6. The Harper government is about as pro-market as the Obama administration.
    Terence Corcoran: The thugs in Canada’s wireless market might make Putin proud
    Even though the five years is up and the obligation no longer exists, the Harper government has unofficially intervened in the Mobilicity court proceeding and has injected itself into the courtroom. The intervention landed last Friday in a Globe and Mail report that contained a warning and threat from an unnamed “senior government source.” The source said that “If Telus doesn’t drop efforts to acquire spectrum set aside for new entrants, the Harper government is prepared to change the rules of the upcoming wireless auction that could effectively bar Telus or any incumbent from acquiring that spectrum.”
    This right after the government basically part-nationalized the rail-roads. Most anti-market fedgov since Trudeau. That’s a fact.

  7. What’s the solution ?
    Deep subject but the answer is not that elusive. Eliminate 90% of the EPA. Eliminate all subsidies for green energy and concentrate on making all energy cheaper for industry and consumers. Eliminate the IRS and replace with a flat tax, individual and corporate, no rebates for anyone and no loopholes on net profit. Bring in Tort reform. Loser pays, no exceptions. Cut federal employees by 5 % every year in every department for the next 5 years. Tax freedom for 5 years for any corporation bringing their outsourced business back to American soil. (based on value and number of employees) All international federal aid by referendum only. Make all Federal lobbying illegal. Eliminate Obamacare and give all healthcare back to the individual states to implement as they see fit. Eliminate Federal involvement in education, it’s not their mandate. All Unions optional as in right to work states and all union funds transparent by law. Eliminate all tax exemptions for all lobby groups. Cut all unearned entitlements by 5 % a year over the next 5 years.
    Much more but it’s late and I’m tired. Since today’s politicians are bought and sold by lobbyists, the solutions are just a unachievable pipe dream. Which is a pity because the country is on its death bed. Numbers don’t lie :

  8. Anti-Terorismi Operats’iya Slavians’k:
    “Describing the offensive as ‘the active phase of the anti-terrorist operation’, [Interior Minister Arsen] Avakov said its goals were simple – ‘free the hostages, lay down their arms and free administrative buildings, and restore the normal functioning of the town’s administration’.
    “‘Against Ukraine’s special forces, terrorists used heavy artillery, including grenade launchers and portable anti-aircraft missile launchers. One pilot is dead and there are wounded,’ he posted on his Facebook page.
    “Pro-Russian separatists in Slaviansk, the eastern Ukrainian where the rebels are most firmly in control, described the operation as ‘large-scale’, and said they had taken one pilot prisoner.
    “The fighting began at 4 a.m. (0100 GMT), officials and local residents said. Ukrainian troops could be in seen in armoured personnel carriers in a southern suburb of Slaviansk.”

    PS.: Arsen Avakov is of mixed Armenian and Russian origin.

  10. Two helicopters shot down in Slevyansk.
    Can Ukraine be an independent country without being able to pay its bills?
    Can Quebec survive without subsidies from the ROC?
    Will there be a mass exodus of concription-aged Ukrainians?
    Will the celebration of the 71st anniversary of the formation of the Galician Waffen SS unit with the April 28 parade through the streets of Lvov help or hinder the current leaderships aspirations?
    What will be the result of the May 11 elections? Another part of Ukraine choosing Russia over the debt-ridden and corrupt system that’s been in place for 23 years?
    Gas bill owed to Russia now $3.5 billion. Is the answer to become a ward of NATO?

    “China’s anti-corruption campaign is spreading terror through the Party cadres. They are frantically trying to offload properties in the top-end range of 40,000 – 50,000 yuan per square metre in case their ill-gotten wealth is exposed by spot audits.
    The numbers of flats and houses for sale has suddenly doubled.”

    “Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin”
    “The title isn’t metaphorical: the area called ‘bloodlands’ extends from central Poland to western Russia, covering Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic States — the area where 14 million people died, all, as Snyder writes in the preface, “victims of a Soviet or Nazi killing policy, often of an interaction between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, but never casualties of the war between them.” This includes Stalin’s deliberate starvation of more than three million Ukrainian citizens, the genocidal POW treatment by both the Germans and the Russians, the Holocaust, postwar ethnic cleansing, and more. It’s an exhaustive and transnational account of who was murdered by Stalin and Hitler, of where and how and (if to a lesser extent) why they were murdered.”

  13. No mention of Pol Pot in the troika of atheist murderers forming utopia in their own image?
    Surely, he deserves a mention in a regurgitation of historical facts?

  14. If you could get off the Cold War rhetoric for a second and look at this Brietbart story.
    Russia’s people are the happiest they have been in 25 years … or since the collapse of the Soviet Union, of which they were the biggest victims.
    Pay close attention to the comments section, where the American people know they’re being lied to. Especially the comment where the Russian people were the biggest victims of Stalin’s policies. Fact is, Stalin killed more of his people than than the godless commies killed outside their borders.

    “Babylon the Great is Fallen: Gregory R. Copley on Un-Civilization”
    “At the heart of Copley’s vision of the near-future lies the counter-intuitive event that he forecasts for the mid-Twenty-First Century – not the Malthusian catastrophe of runaway population and insufficient resource that various Cassandras from Paul R. Ehrlich to Albert A. Gore have profitably vouchsafed to connoisseurs of doom since the 1960s, but rather its opposite, a sudden steep population-decline linked to the desertion of the countryside and the morbid engrossment of the already hyperbolically distended megalopolitan centers.”

  17. Sun News TV reporting Alberta sole sourced contracting of temporary flood housing ended up costing $23,000/person/week in rent. Maybe a $200/night hotel room would have been better?
