We got a sneak peek into Bernie's world today during the second hour of the show. It's a world we don't see often - a world with vision, determination and new, fresh ideas. Bernie Smith for President of the World!
Sorry for the lack of blog yesterday, I was sick! In fact, I was sick from Thursday night and still am, but I have regained my will to live. (Sorry, just wanted to make Rick roll his eyes there!) It was a memorable long weekend, but for all the wrong reasons. This strain of cold that's going around is just deadly.
Anyway, a couple of busy days to catch up on. Kudos to Bill Casey for his fight to help Brenda Martin. You know, we talk about politicians in Canada being corrupt, but then you've got to give thanks for what we have here when putting into the context of Mexico. It turns out Brenda Martin is being held as collateral until a couple of officials in Mexico get paid off. Sickening! Here is the address to mail the Ambassador to Mexico:
His Excellency Emilio Rafael José Goicoechea Luna
Ambassador, Embassy of Mexico
45 O'Connor Street, Suite 1000
Ottawa, Ontario K1P 1A4
Good luck - if you hear back, let us know!
These child arsonists are kind of disturbing!! Honestly, parents should have to pay for their child's damage! I just can't believe that a 10 year old hasn't been taught about fire safety? Even if they aren't taught by the parents, don't they have those videos in school that teach you about fire, water and electrical safety? To all adults out there of procreating ability - if you don't want to raise a child, use protection! It's that easy! These kids don't ask to be born, you could as least pretend to care about raising them and not turning them into criminals. I mean, there was a 7 year old involved! 7! He probably can't read, but he knows how to burn down campers. Great work, guys.
Now to the other ridiculous story of the day - a new bridge? Yikes! We can't even afford to plow snow anymore, but somehow we're going to finance a new bridge from Woodside to the South End? Hendsbee says if it were built it would be the 7th longest bridge in the world, that's how far the span is. I agree with Blair and Bernie Smith who say we need to do what we HAVE to do first, then go for the extras. There aren't even lines on the roads, and they want to dump millions into a new bridge? We'll ask Steve Snider this tomorrow, but I swear he said the last time he was here that the debt on the new bridge will never be paid off! I forget who mentioned it, but doesn't it seem like council busies themselves with these pie in the sky ideas while totally ignoring the real needs of the community? Maybe it's the media that only focuses on these huge ideas, while ignoring the real issues? I'm just interested in hearing council's reaction to this bridge idea tomorrow. I just think it would be crazy for a town that pleads poverty at every opportunity to get behind something of this magnitude.
What's up with Jim Flaherty? God, don't tick off a federal Conservative...unless you want them on you like white on rice. Flaherty had the temerity to hold a news conference yesterday outlining what he wants to see in the Ontario budget coming down today!! Dalton McGuinty is totally stuck in his craw and it's just so typical for the feds to be so petty. The feds continually prove to us who they really are. But in the next election - will we remember?
Anyway, I'm going to keep drinking tonnes of fluids and overdosing on cough drops.
Have a good one!

Bernie's World verses Bruce's World
It's always a pleasure listening to Bernie, a person with vision. If everyone noticed, he did mention that Halifax should build the sports facilities which were planned for the Commonwealth Games. Regardless of the outcome, we still need the facilities. As Bernie mentioned, it would be a place for the kids to go, to get them off the streets. It would help Halifax land other sporting and cultural events, simply by having the facilities, and he figured it could be accomplished at a much more affordable price. In Bruce's world, tax payers money should not be put into any facilities, that should be up to private developers. In Bruce's World, he would cut all services and stop funding everything in an efford to cut taxes. "There's nothing here, but it's cheap to live!" Wouldn't that make for a great city. Halifax needs someone with vision, someone like Bernie Smith.

A 10 year old and two 7 year olds
I say yes make thier parent pay for the damaged camper.
I hope the parent of those brats get sued and force to pay for the damage the brats caused.
I also hope and I would like to see someone take a stand and starts to take matters and the law into there own hands and just law a beeting on any kid who trys to hurt others as well cuses grief to others.
Any kid or teen acts like that and for someone stands up to take matters into there own hand I will not feel sorry for the kid and give that person the high five for doing somthing about it.
I hope child aid steps in and take the kids away from the parents and send them to the S.P.C.A. that were they belong.

Get Well Soon Amber !
Has the HRM Council given up the idea of the tunnel under the Harbour in lieu of holding the record of the 7th longest bridge in the world?
Your strategic leaders and tax dollars at work for you residents of HRM.
Of course the costs for either will be no worries, they will simply bleed it out of each and every one of us without our say and recover 100% of the costs. Its time for a complete overhaul in October HRM voters.
Come back for your people Mother Ship.
