Looking at the effects

We are nearing the end of the spring session of parliament during which much of my time was spent examining and promoting various bills, including my pension security bill C-501. Every so often though I find it usefully to take a step back from the day to day work and look at the effects we have felt as a result of legislation passed in the House of Commons some time ago. Let’s take a look this week at the Harper government’s corporate tax cut and the banking industry.

A big challenge!

After I wrote about what would be safe energy last week, I was challenged about ridding myself of petroleum products in my household. The challenge seemed pretty easy to begin with. I would do away with my gas powered lawn mower and a few solvents that I have in my wood working shop. The task seemed easily enough.
And then someone asked “Are you going to get rid of that garden hose that you use to water your lawn and flower gardens?’ I hadn’t considered the hose or many of the plumbing pipes and shutoffs in my house and cottage.

It is all the way you say it!

Sometime it is all in the way you say something.
Some people say POTATTT-O others say POTATE-O... thats potato... in case you were wondering.
