The Destruction Of Ontario Part 1: The Job Market

Ontario, the once “economic powerhouse” of the nation is facing some of the biggest economic woes that one could imagine!

Since the signing of NAFTA (North American Trade Agreement) in 1993, Ontario’s manufacturing base has been devastated! As seen in the below chart.

Now the current provincial government headed by Dalton McGuinty and Now Kathleen Wynne has been working extremely hard to change Ontario’s energy production under the long-term energy plan. Which includes a move towards “green energy”. That has sent hydro prices through the roof! Costing the province a loss of an estimated 300,000 manufacturing jobs since 2010.

Sadly this trend is just beginning. As highlighted in this article from Barrie Ont. for December 2013.

“Kevin McCaughen’s business pays an average of $325,000 per month for electricity and he’s preparing to see that number increase.

McCaughen, plant manager at Sigma Stretch Film, said news that Ontario’s hydro costs are going to continue to grow by an anticipated 42 per cent over the next five years could be seen as the death blow for manufacturers in the province.

The Ontario Liberals released their Long Term Energy Plan Tuesday with a projected outlook of hydro costs continuing to balloon in the coming years.

That balloon may pop and leave Ontario’s manufacturers deflated.

“I’ve looked at hydro rates and the actual cost of hydro hasn’t really gone up that much, it’s the new Liberal green initiatives,” said McCaughen. “We use about $60,000 worth of hydro and our bill can be as high as $325,000 a month. You get all those fees on there and the adjustments and it’s just going to kill industry.””

The massive losses in the industrial sector will mean (and have already shown) a large demand increase for service sector employment. Lets take a look at what is happening in the service sector.

Since the vast majority of the service sector is made up of low paying minimum wage positions. Many people who previously held higher paying industrial jobs, are struggling to get by on minimum wage. The provincial government is not responding to this logically by creating a plan to save industrial jobs or heaven forbid create new industrial opportunities. Their solution is to raise the minimum wage levels to $11 an hour, and an minimum wage increase every year on Oct. 1st based on inflation rates.

The main problem with this plan is summed up pretty well by Karl Littler, a vice-president at the Retail Council of Canada.

“The Ontario decision could lead to some job losses and reduced hours of work as retailers struggle in a hyper-competitive climate, warned Karl Littler, a vice-president at the Retail Council of Canada. Already some retailers are feeling the squeeze: Best Buy Canada, with increasingly savvy online and discount rivals, announced on Thursday it is cutting 950 jobs at its namesake and Future Shop stores. The previous day, Sears Canada Inc. sliced 624 jobs on top of thousands last year.”

The plan to increase minimum wage will result in job losses and reduction in hours for the employed. Not creation of new jobs to cover the losses in the industrial industry. Or for students getting out of school, unable to find employment in their fields and turning to the service sector just to get by.

A second new initiative from the Liberal government is the Ontario pension plan. It is being billed as a way to help correct the short comings of the Canadian pension plan.

“Premier Kathleen Wynne on Tuesday appointed a panel of academics, finance experts and pension advocates to recommend the specifics of the fund, which will be unveiled in the budget this spring and could become a top issue in a snap election.

And for the first time, she revealed some details on what the plan will look like. For instance, it will oblige both employees and companies to pay in.

“We need to set up a structure so that people can save their own money and they can make an investment, along with their employers, in their future,” she said. “There needs to be a mandatory aspect to this to have the number of people involved that makes this a viable plan.””

On top of the wage increase, companies will be “obliged” to pay into their employees pension plans.

This is a recipe for disaster! But it is not by chance or by accident. It is planned. Stayed tuned for part 2 to see how.

The Transgender States of America

21st Century Wire says…
[Feb 1, 2014]

As transvestites get an upgrade to ‘transgender’, the storm of gender politics is becoming more and more visible in American life – and LGBT activists seem to be targeting a much younger audience these days.

Previously, 21WIRE reported on the story in California where a state law was passed which allows K -12 students to ‘decide’ what gender they would like to be at any given time, giving them free access to either-sex school locker rooms, bathrooms and self-nominate which sports team they would like to play for – all enforced by the state courts.

This week, the State of Maine got into the transgender act as well, passing a similar ‘transgender access’ law for students (see full report below) based on what was passed earlier in California. Is this is bona fide social trend, or is it merely part of the new extremist liberal social engineering agenda? The aggressive nature at which the gender agenda is targeting very children is a little disturbing, to say the least…

Kansas Woman Left to Die In Jail Over Small Amount of Marijuana

by Amanda Warren
Activist Post
Jan 28, 2014

Brenda Sewell and her sister Joy Biggs had recently purchased a motor home from a Colorado couple. The couple delivered it to them in Kansas City and the sisters drove the couple back to Colorado.

It was on their way home, just after crossing the Colorado-Kansas border, when a Kansas Highway Patrol officer pulled the women over for suspected speeding in Sherman County.

Biggs never could have guessed that in less than 72 hours she’d be helping a jail mate try to revive her dying sister who was foaming at the mouth.

While suspected speeding last Monday was the reason the officer pulled their car over, the discovery of a small amount of marijuana is why they were taken to a Goodland jail where they were both denied a phone call.

Sewell, age 58, was on legal prescriptions to treat long-term problems with her thyroid, hepatitis C and fibromyalgia. She had purchased the marijuana from Colorado, where it was recently made legal, to manage nausea and lack of appetite.

Attention fliers: Canada’s electronic spy agency is following you

Documents released by US whistleblower Edward Snowden show the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) used airport Wi-Fi to track passengers from around the world.

Travelers passing through a major Canadian airport were potentially caught up in a vast electronic surveillance net, which allowed the nation’s electronic spy agency to track the wireless devices of thousands of airline passengers – even for days after they had departed the terminal, a document obtained by CBC News revealed.

The document shows the spy agency was then able to track travelers for a week or more as the unwitting passengers, together with their wireless devices, visited other Wi-Fi “hot spots” in locations across Canada – and even across the border at American airports.

The CBS report said any place that offered Wi-Fi internet access, including “airports, hotels, coffee shops and restaurants, libraries, ground transportation hubs” was vulnerable to the surveillance operation.

After reviewing details of the leaked information, one of Canada’s leading authorities on internet security says the secret operation was almost certainly illegal.

“I can’t see any circumstance in which this would not be unlawful, under current Canadian law, under our Charter, under CSEC’s mandates,” Professor Ronald Deibert, an internet security expert at the University of Toronto, told CBC News.

It remains unclear from the leaked data how CSEC was able to infiltrate so many wireless devices to see who was using them — both on Canadian territory and beyond.

Psychology Professor Issues Call for Informed Discussion Regarding ESP

by Juan Escobar
disinformation
Jan 13, 2014

Etzel Cardeña of Lund University, Sweden, issues a call for a more open discussion regarding psi phenomena.

Via Frontiers in Human Neuroscience:

Science thrives when there is an open, informed discussion of all evidence, and recognition that scientific knowledge is provisional and subject to revision. This attitude is in stark contrast with reaching conclusions based solely on a previous set of beliefs or on the assertions of authority figures. Indeed, the search for knowledge wherever it may lead inspired a group of notable scientists and philosophers to found in 1882 the Society for Psychical Research in London. Its purpose was “to investigate that large body of debatable phenomena… without prejudice or prepossession of any kind, and in the same spirit of exact and unimpassioned inquiry which has enabled Science to solve so many problems.” Some of the areas in consciousness they investigated such as psychological dissociation, hypnosis, and preconscious cognition are now well integrated into mainstream science. That has not been the case with research on phenomena such as purported telepathy or precognition, which some scientists (a clear minority according to the surveys conducted1) dismiss a priori as pseudoscience or illegitimate. Contrary to the negative impression given by some critics, we would like to stress the following:

1) Research on parapsychological phenomena (psi) is being carried out in various accredited universities and research centers throughout the world by academics in different disciplines trained in the scientific method (e.g., circa 80 Ph.D.s have been awarded in psi-related topics in the UK in recent years). This research has continued for over a century despite the taboo against investigating the topic, almost complete lack of funding, and professional and personal attacks2. The Parapsychological Association has been an affiliate of the AAAS since 1969, and more than 20 Nobel prizewinners and many other eminent scientists have supported the study of psi or even conducted research themselves3.

2) Despite a negative attitude by some editors and reviewers, results supporting the validity of psi phenomena continue to be published in peer-reviewed, academic journals in relevant fields, from psychology to neuroscience to physics e.g., 4-7.

3) Increased experimental controls have not eliminated or even decreased significant support for the existence of psi phenomena, as suggested by various recent meta-analyses 5, 8-16.

Wheat: 200 Clinically Confirmed Reasons Not To Eat It

200 Clinically Confirmed Reasons Not To Eat Wheatby Slayer Ji, Founder
GreenMedInfo
Oct 7, 2012

With sales of foods labeled gluten free now reaching over 6 billion dollars a year, something truly profound is happening to the way in which Americans are perceiving the role of wheat in their diets. Once celebrated as the very poster-child of the health food movement, folks are increasingly rejecting this “king of grains,” and are now identifying it as being at the very root of their health problems.

Detractors claim that the movement is just a fad, or worse, that those who have embarked upon it without an official diagnosis are a bit crazy. After all, simply “feeling better” following gluten elimination is not considered to be proof of anything within the conventional medical system.  Biopsies, antibody, and genetic tests later, if nothing is found, and you still think gluten – this ‘sacred,’ omnipresent grain – is a problem, you might just get referred to a psychiatrist.

But anecdotes and “subjective experience” aside, the type of clinical research that constitutes “Truth,” with a capital T, from the perspective of the dominant medical establishment, can be found on the National Library of Medicine’s biomedical database known as MEDLINE. This vast bibliographic archive contains over 21 million citation entries, which as of time of this writing, contains 9,776 references to gluten.

There has been a sharp increase in interest and research on the topic of “gluten intolerance” – although we prefer to label the subject “gluten toxicity,” in order to shift the focus away from the “victim” back to the “aggressor,” the gluten itself. In 1971, there were 71 studies listed on MEDLINE which referenced gluten. Last year in 2011, there were 514.

One of our many interests here at GreenMedInfo.com is to identify “Problem Substances,” which is why we have created an index by that name with 698 subjects listed from A-Z.  If you navigate to WHEAT under the “W’s” you will find a list under “Advanced Topics” with 205 health conditions and/or adverse health effects associated with wheat consumption, all of which were determined solely through research in peer-reviewed and published medical journals indexed on MEDLINE.

You will also find, below the listed diseases, a “pharmacological actions” field set which lists 20 distinct ways in which wheat harms the body, e.g. nerve-damaging (neurotoxic), immune-damaging (immunoreactive), inflammatory, etc.
