News Year's Eve

This year while we were home for a few weeks at Christmas we experienced a large number of family visits. This was the main reason for flying home and we were not disappointed. We thought of some resolutions that would make positive changes in our life and are determined to see these to the end. It was a time for seeking solutions to our health and our weight which seemed to just  increase without us taking steps to modify the end result.

Beyond the personal agenda I had some very heavy resolutions to help frame one of Canada's growing problem... the environment. This foolish government appointed a former broadcaster to oversea our most critical portfolio - the environment. Mr. Kent seems like an okay person but lacks vision and is a puppet to the plans that the prime minister lays out. The government will do anything and everything to create jobs, even at the expense of Mother Earth. Our once wonderful environment safeguards were the envy of the western world  This Prime Minister has done everything to erode the system by taking away the funding to oversea the vast problems of the oil patch.

The oil patch is our greatest ugly environmental issue and the government is making it easier for companies to continue to leave tremendous amounts of water and earth pollutants that scar the pristine water and tundra area. It sickens one to see the mess they leave. Yes, they have show places where everything looks just fine, but it is estimated that only 4 percent of the earth is returned to an acceptable level.

Animals and birds suffer and die as the mining proceeds with wild abandon. I have seen first hand the results of the carnage done to the earth by these greedy oil barons. This year I shall write letters every week to the respective groups to help correct the terrible mess we have created.

This appears to be the age of the First Nations and their demands are reasonable and I can only wonder how long they have to wait to have their treaty rights recognized and acted upon. We as Canadians have a solemn duty to take the treaties signed years ago seriously, and to bring the people affected into the Canadian fold with all the rights and privileges contained therein.This is just a beginning as we must take measures to hold the Government accountable.
