China thinks it’s all that,… and a bag of potato chips

China has been increasing its reach all around the world in an attempt to procure what it sees as the 'last drop' of oil. China from what I have read in the papers has even been flirting with the oil sands of Western Canada! If they are desperate enough to close down factories for a period of time to please African diplomats, then I say we give them some oil and force them to reduce emissions in exchange. I mean it makes sense to me, China is one of the worlds largest emission producers in the world and shows no signs of stopping.

As for Sudan I think its a shame they didn't push more aggressively to bring aid to the region of Darfur. But knowing that hey are one of the largest weapons suppliers to Sudan I really don't know why it would be in their interest. No war, no weapons. Thats the way it goes. It just remind me of the movie 'Lord of War' in which an independent arms dealer (China in this case) secretly earns contracts through the promotion of conflict (the genocide in Sudan).


China has long been said to have the aspirations of becoming a superpower. While I was doing a little background search on the subject of China's recent spurt of 'power' I found a paper from YaleGlobal which actually takes another outlook on the situation which I had found very fascinating. I encourage you to read through it by clicking here!

Robot Love

Is it weird I don't think its that far fetched??!?! In a world where literally anything and everything is happening, sex and marriage with a robot just isn't that shocking. I think our generation has become almost fully saturated with change. We grew up through the most rapid technological and cultural boom in history of man kind. We have been witness to the awesome power of the human mind and understand we have yet to reach our 'peak'. The fact that change will come and even stranger things will happen in the future is of utterly no surprise to us.

BOO MMP?!?

I'm not a political know it all, or an overly concerned citizen, I simply took the time to understand the issues at hand. To understand the implication of the referendum and how it would benefit all Canadians. I can honestly I don't understand why people would not have preferred to vote in favor of a electoral process which more accurately represents the popular vote. This system would finally balance out the political spectrum and give smaller parties a chance to participate in the democratic process (such as the green party).

Another amazing factor to consider would have been the benefit of voting not only for the party you wished to vote for but the leader as well. Thats right, no more skewed elections because voters didn't like the political leader. It was terrible and incredibly stupid when flocks of voters would swing one way or another because of the party leader.

If you would like to take the time to understanding the effect MMP would have on our country/province visit elections Canada...

Joke of the week:

Demographic BOMBSHELL!

Marriage, the ball and chains, prison for life (without chance of parole), the list goes on and on but its certainly something not to take lightly. According to todays generations marriage is the end of the line and only something you do at the end of your 'run'. And its all conveniently explained by women.

After WWII women were given more choice, more education and more opportunity. This allowed women to switch roles from settling down and giving birth for 'civic duty' to working women with career goals and no time for the slow life. Also, after WWII the general populations life-style changed from looking forward to living in the present with a live in the moment attitude due to the death taken place in Europe. This was amplified right after the war with the heavy use of credit to buy now and pay later leading to the largest depression in Canadian history.

Todays women are more independent, cunning and business savvy, each pursuing long term goals with no preservation for searching for the perfect man or a family to get tied up with. Some of the most successful people in the world are women today, I mean just take a look at Oprah Winfrey.

Joke of the week:

A young husband with an inferiority complex insisted he was just a little pebble on a vast beach.

The marriage counselor, trying to be creative, told him, "If you wish to save your marriage, you'd better be a little boulder."
