Clearly now as well when the MDs, Nurses, others falsely do blame the Quebec government solely  for ER crisis too, their own poor performances, they themselves have failed to do an adequate service to the public now in general as well.. They clearly already  had many other valid options available to exercise for them to make their complaints know without allowing anymore false abuse, neglect of any sick patients now too. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;ER basically is the only place available for seniors who tend to have many repeat ER visit for their often more serious sicknesses  cause their original problems had not been adequately dealt with now too by their family doctors or the ER. Hospitals like to advertise and to pretend too often they are a fully equipped, fully staffed medical facilities when they are not so in fact too often now as well.. This too is unacceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I agree for I too even as of this weekend I again have seen the LGH ER staff involved in of all kinds "schmoozing": flirting, chatting, and conducting a social life at the expense of the patients. You can spot them easily cause they are firstly bunched together in groups at the desks, or in hidden corners, passage ways, and talking about restaurants, food, non work related items.."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All civil and public servants, leaders, professionals included now must be allowed to face scrutiny from the governments, press and the citizens, and their costs effectiveness must be fully dealt with now as well." For the good of us all still too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What the hell do quebec politicians care about how bad our health care system when they do not even reply to any of my letters of concerns on the matter firstly. In Quebec the rather self regulating doctors, nurses, hospital workers, police etc., are not supervised adequately or regularly . Federal Liberals are receiving some very controversial and explosive advice to try to overhaul of one of Canada's most cherished national programs: Medicare. Claims of mismanagement of health care doctors, medical services is being raised since say soaring health-care costs are rapidly escalating and as the country's aging population requires ever more medical services. Clearly still now putting more money into a pail full of holes is still bad-management It is unbelievable that after I had written about it for many years later 15 years even I can go to most local Hospitals or Convalescent homes and there too easily see the typical and mostly poorly supervised doctors, nurse, medical care workers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lazy, incompetent professionals blaming others for their own inadequacies is par for the course. Clearly this same hospital, related medical, support personnel have wrongfully, undeniably now failed in doing all they can, in now providing adequate medical care to all patients and in preventing the spread of sicknesses, disease to all patients, visitors thus causing to unnecessary pain towards others, deaths and which is rather a prosecutable, criminal acts of man slaughter as well". &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"I agree with 3:58- I too have seen staff of all kinds "schmoozing": flirting, chatting, and conducting a social life at the expense of the patients. Within a patients ear reach, it is never appropriate to discuss your kids, your search for a house, blah, blah, blah. People feeling unwell don't want to hear it, no matter how "cute" and animated you are. Have some decorum. BTW, where is the management when all this chit-chat is going on. Put a stop to it! It's unprofessional. PERIOD! PATRICIA  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, the government is at fault. But doctors, nurses, stop the finger pointing. I've seen first-hand how you stand there and schmooze at the nursing station while patients wait. And I've seen ghastly treatment and callousness on the part of nurses and doctors alike. Yes, you're all stressed. But that doesn't excuse poor performance and mistreatment or negligence of patience. Too stressful for you? Move to the U.S. and enjoy the higher malpractice premiums. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What do I think?!?&lt;br /&gt;ANYONE!?!&lt;br /&gt;who's been in an ER in the last 10 years? YOU know what I say is TRUE!!&lt;br /&gt;YOU see staff working at the SLOWEST possible pace!! &lt;br /&gt;And since people have started noticing... THEY HAVE installed shutters so we cant see them doing nothing!!&lt;br /&gt;GREED of american salaries, and union mentality have led to US human beings being used as pawns in salary negotiations!!!(I'm pro union, except when the pawns are people!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DOCTORS!! NURSES!! STAFF!! fight for your rights in some OTHER WAY!!!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What the hell do Quebec politicians care about how bad our health care system is...have you ever seen one in any of the ERs...have you ever sat beside one in a doctor`s waiting room. Damn right you haven`t ,they go to the head of the line along with the rest of their family members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This problem with ER's is only the tip of the iceberg of problems found in Quebec--AND ONLY QUEBEC (e.g. collapsing buildings and bridges killing people, third world road surfaces, no ambulance paramedics, puppy mills, animal abuse, no animal inspectors, language inspectors, racist laws, highest debt, highest unemployment, highest suicide rate, lowest number of doctors, closing hospitals, corrupt police force, etc, etc, etc).

Why should they after all the more patients, the more important they feel they are.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Many matured senior patients with serious medical problems they tend to return solely to the Emergency rooms because they they have learned that family doctor does not have the necessary medical equipment, tools, tests  to diagnose their SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLEMS, only the Hospitals tend to have them generally and so they now are regular users of the emergency room..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know from personal experiences and that even of another family member, My father, the related after Emergency Hospital visit medical follow services at McGill University Hospitals especially  such as the Montreal Jewish General Hospital, and the Lake shore General Hospital tend to be very pathetic, unacceptably disastrous, really bad, inadequate   compared to other Hospitals.. I saw firsthand how my own father got poor, useless medical follow-up in the last 2 years at the LGH. Now one in 20 Canadians who has a heart attack - a common cause of rehospitalization - is urgently readmitted within a month of being discharged, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Now also  include  some other common serious sickness as well. An analysis published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine showed the chances of rehospitalization only increase over time. Generally, the sicker the patient and the longer and more frequently they spent time in hospitals, the greater their chances of dying or being rehospitalized. For one example, many patients who leave hospital with chronic illnesses such as heart failure or diabetes are at high risk of being readmitted. But often, they are left to cope on their own. Many patients do not get clear instructions on what medications they should be taking, and they frequently have difficulties making additional, specific doctor appointments to continue treatment outside the hospital. A number of patients return because they do not have access to a competent family doctor and so are regular users of the emergency room.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Last Monday FEB 22, I had now met in the emergency ward of the MONTREAL WEST ISLAND Pointe Claire Lakeshore General Hospital a patient who was next to my father, As you know my father was admitted here also due to cardiac failure, water on the lung on Monday now, M Bergeron ( NOT HER REAL NAME ) M Bergeron now she had fallen on the street on the ice had broken her arm, and had also hurt her hip. The hospital had put a cast on her arm, and next the emergency room, triage nurses had wrongfully tried repeatedly to force the patient to walk so that she could be discharged. The patient was crying in agony in pain while the cruel, despotic, unsympathetic nurses at the LGH were forcing her to walk in my witness as well. And days later the same patient was still in the same bed and had not received any appropriate treatment for her leg, she now was transferred to the overflow ward where she was next forgotten by her original doctor, even though finally it was confirmed that she did have a fractured hip. I am confident that had she been a young person she would have got the treatment within 24 hours. On Friday Feb 26, now five days later, the nurse on her morning rounds discovers M Bergeron had now a high temperature, was vomiting, and had diarrhea, and M Bergeron was send to the isolation room in the same section. The Nurse next phoned a new doctor from the ER to come and see her which he did about 10.30 AM, THAT SHE TOO NOW HAD THE nova VIRUS, FOOD POISONING VIRUS, THAT WAS RAMPANT ON THE FOURTH FLOOR, the LGH orthopedic ward, so also it was very likely the visiting doctor from the orthopedic floor who had visited her in the first emergency center that passed it on to her, cause she was not seen by any doctors in the overflow section prior to today, and I have been there for the whole week now too with my father. The new emergency doctor phoned the original doctor in my presence and complained to him he had neglected his patient. M Bergeron and arranges medical tests CT scan for her, which were done about 3.00 pm today. About 7.00 pm next during evening shift M Bergeron had shit in her diaper and she as I had heard had called both senior nurses on duty to change her diaper, and they had refused to do so, it was supposedly below their dignity to do so, AND THE MALE ORDERLY HAD GONE FOR HIS BREAK, AND SO M Bergeron SHE LAY THERE IN HER SHIT, AND M Bergeron HAD NEXT ASKED ME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. SHE ALSO COMPLAINED TO ME SHE WAS FREEZING IN HER ISOLATION ROOM, AND I TALKED TO THE NURSES ON DUTY BUT THE NURSES ON DUTY THIS EVENING NOW STILL REFUSED TO CHANGE HER DIAPER AND COULD NOT HELP HER WITH THE HEAT PROBLEM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOW WHAT KIND OF ACCEPTABLE MEDICAL SERVICES IS THIS NOW? NOW I WANT THE ORIGINAL DOCTOR CRIMINAL PROSECUTED FOR FAILING TO MEET HER MEDICAL NEEDS, AND THE TWO ATTENDING EVENING NURSES NOW AS WELL for failing to changer her soiled diaper.. http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/and-now-how-many-more-are-there-like-him/ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To say that I am disappointed with McGill University Hospitals in Montreal would be a severely great understatement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It seems that McGill University Doctors take on a attitude that it is condescending for them to serve us any of us, we all should be subservient and really should be grateful that they have agreed to help us. The Governor General Michaelle Jean delivers speech criticizing rampant materialism and  has delivered a speech critical of unrestrained market forces in a speech at McGill University. Jean told an audience in Montreal that life shouldn’t simply be about making money, but about helping people.  The Governor General says market forces are extremely influential, and can risk drowning out such values as the common good. ” “We are living in a world in which spaces for critical debate, reflection and civic action are increasingly being assailed by the alluring sirens of fleeting gratification and cultural conformity,” she said. “More and more, impersonal market forces are influencing public life, while notions of the common good and altruistic action are being challenged by an ethic of ‘everyone for himself or for his clan.’  by “ saying no to a world in which our obsession with profit makes us turn a blind eye to suffering” and where “prosperity is detrimental to our environment,” Jean said.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;NEW CANADIANS, IMMIGRANTS BECOME REALLY DEPRESSED, EVEN AGITATED  WHEN THEY ARE TOLD THAT ELDERLY PATIENTS ARE BEING ALLOWED TO STARVE TO DEATH IN CANADIAN HOSPITALS.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Attention: Quebec and Federal Justice Ministers&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Euthanasia is already a reality in Quebec hospitals, the president of the federation of Quebec medical specialists, told a National Assembly committee yesterday. Doctors know when death is "imminent and inevitable," Gaétan Barrette explained. But doctors are aware they can be charged with murder if they administer a "palliative sedative" before a patient is on his or her last breath. http://www.montrealgazette.com/life/Doctors+back+right/2568891/story.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Doctors already breaking the law and are guilty of murder in Quebec. Wow!! and you have done nothing about these murderers now as well and why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do note that I have been really happy often too with the medical services from the LaSalle Angrigon Hospital for my heart- congestive failure, diabetes, gland problems, and specifically Dr Langlais of the internal medicine clinic..&lt;br /&gt;But now &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;1 Montreal McGill Jewish General Hospital. I rightfully was totally unhappy with their poor follow-up services after my quintuplet heart by pass surgery about 15 years ago  actually none in fact..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2 Imagine that I now also have had a defective heart pacer, deliberator also installed 2 years ago at the McGill Montreal General Hospital so I have to go there every 3 months to check if it is working properly too. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I am already waiting over one year to be able to see a knee specialist here at this SAME Hospital as well&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;3 Now we all already know that I was unhappy with he poor service my own father got at the McGill Lakeshore General hospital - Very few people in Montreal  including a Nurse I talked today  at the McGill RVH have very little good to say  about the Lakeshore General Hospital&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 My McGill  Royal Victoria Hospital  DR OH Ophthalmologist has been a personal gem.. she has gone out of the way to find out why my eyes are swollen, with a complete eyes exam every 3 months.. she had helped my father but here she could  not deal with my solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have been wasting my time, even given the medical run around by 2 useless McGill Ophthalmologist from the McGill Lachine Hospital and the Royal Victoria Hospital over one year now about my swollen eye problem, and I had contacted the RVH Ombudsman about it now too many times.. their useless buck passing reply was finally the problem is mine, Not happy with McGill doctors go elsewhere,  the problem is mine and and not theirs and there is nothing they can do about it now for I am on my own.. RVH Hospital useless Dr Morin. But well there is something I can do about it.. I can post what McGill doctors, hospitals, ombudsman  and our Health Ministers are really like often on the net for the whole world to read often too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/12/02/even-many-doctors-are-mainly-selfish-self-centered-want-to-get-rich-fast-too/"&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/12/02/even-many-doctors-are-mainly-selfish-self-centered-want-to-get-rich-fast-too/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also it is very interesting that when most of the news reporters, governments tend to write about heart attacks, or car accidents they seem to downplay, omit alcohol's effect and why is that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; On the surface, at least, Canadians  appear to be among the healthiest in the country when it comes to cardiovascular disease.  But the realties  are deceiving and paint a much different picture once you look into them. Twenty-two per cent of them smoke, 60 percent of them drink alcohol, 50 per cent are overweight or obese and 67 per cent do not eat a healthy diet. Many persons have often, continually unresolved negative personal stress   All of these factors contribute to high blood pressure -- and they are entirely preventable, or deal able with.  A lot of what we perceive to be healthy eating and doing actually isn't.  For starters, all persons people should shake their addiction to salty, packaged meals. reduce their red meat consumptions, reduce their meal sizes, eat more regularly too, One of the biggest problems is the high amount of sodium in our food," This salt encourages water in the blood to remain, and gives more work for the heart to pump. Everyone does have  responsibilities, parents, spouses, food distributors as do governments and food manufacturers. Now  it's about all of us doing a better job to increase public awareness and promoting more lifestyle changes around being healthy. According to the World Health Association, high blood pressure is the leading risk for death in the world.  Hypertension is the leading cause of heart and stroke disease, but there are no obvious symptoms.  Now  regular Doctor checkups,  with a competent and not too often a pretentious doctor too, to screen for hypertension, Diabetes as well  are required since studies suggest will affect half of all Canadians by the time they turn 60.  Over time, high blood pressure can damage blood vessel walls causing scarring that promotes the buildup of plaque deposits, which narrow and eventually block blood flow. Increased blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and other diseases that many persons next do die from. One in five Canadians has high blood pressure -- and many  Canadians are among the least likely in the country to take measures to lower it. Only  80 per cent of the 4.6 million Canadians with hypertension take medication to control it, according to new findings from Statistics Canada. Doing things like having a  healthy diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fat is very effective, as is regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy body weight.  The prevalence of high blood pressure was about the same in men as in women, but men were less likely to be aware of their condition. The numbers should give all cause for concern.    &lt;br /&gt; Blood Pressure Risk Factors&lt;br /&gt;- - Smoking&lt;br /&gt;- - Lack of exercise&lt;br /&gt;- - Poor diet and excess sodium&lt;br /&gt;- - Excessive alcohol consumption&lt;br /&gt;- - Being overweight or obese&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://stayinhealth.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/local-medical-services-fall-drastically-short-of-what-it-should-be/"&gt;http://stayinhealth.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/local-medical-services-fall-drastically-short-of-what-it-should-be/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I too have found one of the free great cure, a help to relieve my high blood pressure *, stress, and instead of keeping it all boiled up inside, I express it, share it with everyone else all of  the things that rightfully have peeved me off, and it seems I keep on coming back to my favorite complaints until they actually get resolved including .. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/09/04/cure-for-stress-high-blood-pressure-heart-attack/"&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/09/04/cure-for-stress-high-blood-pressure-heart-attack/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MANY PATIENTS ALSO RIGHTFULLY DO WANT THEIR medicine delivered regularly, daily at the same time and now  it seems to fluctuate through out different times of the day even here too. Patients they thus unnecessarily do   worry about missing their medicine.. and for them the lack of consistency in a patient having now having a more a regular Nurse is an important issue.. Patients have often rather  a new nurse for them now  almost everyday explains the common medication delivery problems that still occur too often as well.. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- Federal bucks DISCRIMINATORY support for Seniors &lt;br /&gt;State Minister Diane Ablonczy  has said senior abuse is a growing problem not just in Calgary but nationwide. "Older people love their families but often neglect and abuse come from their own families," said the State Minister Diane Ablonczy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; AND WHY HAD  SHE LEFT OUT THAT STRANGERS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE ABUSIVE NOW TOO, THE STRANGERS IN HOSPITALS, OLD AGE HOMES, CONVALESCENT HOMES? CAUSE THAT WAS TOO HARD TO TACKLE AND COULD NOT GIVE HER AN EASY PHOTO OPPORTUNITY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and is that also why she does as a Minister not address, acknowledge  any of my letters to her too on the subject of seniors abuses? I do not know about you but I am really getting rightfully fed up with these lame, ostrich Conservative Ministers!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have been spending a lot of time in hospitals lately and I have seen 5 elderly persons die in the last month, 5 more than I have seen in my whole life time.. and some of these persons too sadly  were falsely being allowed to starve to death in Canadian Hospitals too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/federal-bucks-discrimnatory-support-for-seniors/"&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/federal-bucks-discrimnatory-support-for-seniors/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONE OFTEN HEARS A CONCERNS FROM PATIENTS AND RELATED FAMILY MEMBERS WHETHER THEY SHOULD TRUST EVERYTHING THE ONLY HUMAN AND STILL NEED TO BE SUPERVISED DOCTORS, NURSES, HOSPITAL MANAGERS SAY OR PROMISES THEY WILL DO AND THE ANSWER IS NO CAUSE PEOPLE LIE AND MAKE PROMISES THAT OTHERS DO NOT KEEP. SOME PEOPLE RESPOND THAT THAT IS TOO MUCH WORK? WELL IF YOU REALLY DO WANT TO INSURE ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS  YOU STILL DO HAVE TO MAINTAIN A CONTINUAL SURVEILLANCE OF THE MEDICAL TREATMENTS, SERVICES.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;How to get better medical services overall? Well the wheel that makes the most noise seems to get the most grease still too.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://stayinhealth.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/how-to-get-better-medical-services/ "&gt;http://stayinhealth.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/how-to-get-better-medical-services/ &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - and are they much better in Alberta now as well? &lt;br /&gt;EDMONTON – Alberta will fund thousands of additional heart, cancer and joint surgeries after a record increase in health spending in the new provincial budget. Health Minister Gene Zwozdesky says more than 2,200 procedures will be added along with 3,500 medical scans over the next six weeks.This will include urgent cancer surgeries, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery and cataract surgery. And what for decades now they had instead let many people who needed such surgeries die or move  elsewhere to another province? Me included now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the amazing fact also now the death of a Rodent, Rat, gets more attention over the starvation  death of our seniors in Hospital, nursing and convalescent homes, Zoo death sparks call for audit  “Zoocheck Canada is calling for a full audit of the Calgary Zoo’s operations after the death of a capybara, a species of giant rodent — the latest in a string of incidents in recent years. “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drugs kill so do doctors and nurses , they even starve patients to death&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly even these days Doctors, Nurses, medical support staff  are human, they too sometimes try sometimes to get by with a minimal amount of personal effort, and so as result patients do not always get their proper medical care. The can  severely, seriously compromise the health of patients. A hospital patient may receive up to 12 different kinds of medication, all of which produce side effects, SOME  that can lead to serious complications and even death. AND SOME MEDICATIONS GIVEN ARE GIVEN IN ERROR AS WELL. But Medicating to death elderly persons WITH ERROR PRONE PILL PUSHING DOCTORS AND NURSES and/or "starving them now to death BY NOT PROPERLY FEEDING THEM", a MOST COMMON APPROACHES TOO OFTEN STILL ARE NOT THE  VIABLE, EFFECTIVE, BENEFICIAL, COST EFFECTIVE  APPROACHES  NOR ARE THEY APPRECIATED, HELPFUL, BUT STILL ARE RATHER AN IMMORAL APPROACH.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; MANY PATIENTS ALSO RIGHTFULLY DO WANT THEIR medicine delivered regularly, daily at the same time and now  it seems to fluctuate through out different times of the day. they thus unnecessarily do   worry about missing their medicine.. and for them the lack of consistency in a patient having now having a more a regular Nurse is an important issue.. Patients have often rather  a new nurse for them now  almost everyday explains the common medication delivery problems that still occur too often as well.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hiring clearly ignoramuses,  fools, as support, medical  workers, coordinators, counselors, cause they are cheap, inexpensive now is not doing a great service to anyone, and is not a real, valid help for the elderly too  Now some of these same clearly bad persons I encounter  still cannot face or deal positively with  the negative reality about themselves, they do rather need to be fired clearly and their supervisors as well. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Hospital deaths account for half of deaths annually&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Now as you and your loved ones get older you too will spend more time in Doctor’s offices, Hospitals, and convalescent, old age homes and will have wished that you had done something more about it all before too..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;ONE OFTEN HEARS A CONCERNS FROM PATIENTS AND RELATED FAMILY MEMBERS WHETHER THEY SHOULD TRUST EVERYTHING THE ONLY HUMAN AND STILL NEED TO BE SUPERVISED DOCTORS, NURSES, HOSPITAL MANAGERS SAY OR PROMISES THEY WILL DO AND THE ANSWER IS NO CAUSE PEOPLE LIE AND MAKE PROMISES THAT OTHERS DO NOT KEEP. SOME PEOPLE RESPOND THAT THAT IS TOO MUCH WORK? WELL IF YOU REALLY DO WANT TO INSURE ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS  YOU STILL DO HAVE TO MAINTAIN A CONTINUAL SURVEILLANCE OF THE MEDICAL TREATMENTS, SERVICES.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;How to get better medical services overall? Well the wheel that makes the most noise seems to get the most grease still too..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now many of us already do now about the all too-common Medical  PATIENT killers like:&lt;br /&gt;-MEDICATION MISTAKES. Wrong pills! Wrong blood transfusions! Wrong intravenous drips! Don’t bother even  to guessing how often this happens.  It’s worse than your wildest nightmares. Unsupervised Doctors and Hospitals make many mistakes like these every hour.&lt;br /&gt;-DOCTORS’ DIRTY HANDS. Incredibly, recent surveys show that doctors wash their hands between patients only half the time… and nearly 90% of stethoscopes harbor staph bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;-UNNEEDED SURGERY.  Surgeons could have used many less costly approaches THAT WOULD HAVE LESS NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS AND QUICKER HEALING TOO   choose instead to do the costly surgery&lt;br /&gt;- DOCTORS FAIL TO PRESCRIBE PROPER MEDICAL TEST . Medical Technicians have to be told what specific blood tests also have to be done first.. they do not automatically check for every possible sickness or diseases thus.&lt;br /&gt;HOSPITALS are filled with infection-causing bacteria that cannot be found anywhere else. Hospitals, which often house very large numbers of sick people, are the ideal breeding environment for the sometimes deadly bugs. Hospital patients generally have a lower level of immunity and offer little or no resistance to them. The hospital staff, due to constant exposure to the bugs, are fairly immune to them, but may pass them on to patients by touching them or their food, bedding, clothing, or medications.* Contrary to common belief, hospitals are among the most contaminated places in the world. In fact  it does not take much dirt to become a breeding place for billions of deadly infectious bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;* Doctors can be the worst transmitters of disease in hospitals. Most doctors do not wash their hands except before an operation, when they wear sterilized gloves and gowns anyway. They may sometimes touch many dozens of patients within several hours, one after the other, without washing their hands even once. Even the doctor’s white gown is not as clean as it looks. It is only clean if it is washed every single day, which rarely happens. .&lt;br /&gt;* Bed sheets may be clean, but mattresses and pillows are not. The chance of being infected by bugs living in them is 1 in 20.&lt;br /&gt;* A hospital patient may receive up to 12 different kinds of medication, all of which produce side effects, SOME  that can lead to serious complications and even death. AND SOME MEDICATIONS GIVEN ARE GIVEN IN ERROR AS WELL&lt;br /&gt;* NOT SURPRISING TO MANY PERSONS hospitals PATIENTS OFTEN  are suffering from malnutrition due to a poor hospital diet OR BUDGET CONSTRAINTS. Malnutrition, even starvation was found to be the major cause of death among older people in hospitals.&lt;br /&gt;Add the toxic side effects of the drugs, the presence of deadly bugs, as well as the stress and anxiety that accompany an illness and a stay in a hospital, and a poorly nourished elderly person NOW EVEN has very little chance of surviving&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Medicating to death elderly persons WITH ERROR PRONE PILL PUSHING DOCTORS AND NURSES” and/or “starving them now to death BY NOT PROPERLY FEEDING THEM”, THE MOST COMMON APPROACHES I myself have often have seen now ARE NOT THE  VIABLE, EFFECTIVE, BENEFICIAL, COST EFFECTIVE  APPROACHES  NOR ARE THEY APPRECIATED, HELPFUL, BUT STILL ARE RATHER AN IMMORAL APPROACH. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Most everyone can realize that you really cannot separate the body, soul and sprit, and that our physical health and related healings is also effected also by our self worth, stress, anxiety but doctors and Hospitals want to stay mainly within the direct medical areas of pills, surgeries.. and tend not to use beneficial depression counselors as well.. As a result some sick people definitely would now have healed quicker had their root personal problems also been looked at and proper counseling given..&lt;br /&gt; - Clearly only fools cannot see that there is still very  much that can be done to improve the management, delivery of both our health care system and also the care of the elderly, persons too.&lt;br /&gt;No one is immune to danger, or death, not even you, your loved ones now too. It can happen where you live.. AND IT DOES NOW TOO. It is not a pleasant site, sight, a person was alive and a few minutes later they are dead and next are being wheeled down the hall to the morgue, COVERED UP ALL IN A WHITE SHEET.. the nursing, support staff are clearly upset, the strain of helplessness gripping many of them too.. urine containers are still being left alone, allowed to be scattered on the floors in the patients rooms.. some how some of the medical personnel, support staff they  wrongfully still cannot believe that the fatal diseases are caused by poor hygiene.. after all they have been personally neglecting the hygiene aspect for a long time too.. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Now about 225,000 Canadian patients a year suffer from hospital-acquired infections that substantially extend their stays, and between 8,000 and 12,000 people die annually as a result of  infection with common but dangerous infections – C. difficile, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) – The infections   C. difficile, MRSA and VRE – are not airborne, but spread by contact. yet the police make a lot of noise about number of   deaths caused by speeding..  yet the police make a lot of noise about number of   deaths caused by speeding AND DRUNK DRIVERS..  we need more cops rather in the hospitals aressting the bad Health Ministers,  bad doctors and bad nurses etc.,  Now less than a hundred Canadians will die in one year due to car accidents, but thousands will die due to a hospital acquired infection? So why has not the Conservative government done too much here? they do not care about Canadian lives still? Ex-fire chief of London Ontario was jailed for child porn – Crime – and so should our health ministers be also jailed now too.. for their poor inactions..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And the  likely reason that roommates increase the risk of infection is that patients share a washroom. (The mantra in infection control is: One bum per toilet.) Another likely explanation involves inadequate handwashing by patients and health professionals alike; doctors and nurses sometimes don’t wash their hands between patient visits in a single room. in the meantime, there are things we can do: We should be cleaning our hands, and we should really scrutinize how we clean our hospitals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the rich, powerful, influential get special medical treatment.. and what about the rest?  Just over one-third of Canadians live too far away from a specialized hospital to get the best available treatment for a heart attack, suggests a new study.  http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/100204/national/heart_attack_geography&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Almost since my first job after graduating from university I had learned that people are not to be trusted, need to be supervised, and corruption still exists in construction, universities, municipalities, governments, corporations, amongst professionals and politicians as well. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; ..  It is really unacceptable and  still unbelievable that of all people the medical personnel. medical support staff, they too often still  do not take their jobs seriously  enough and they are the main cause of many persons hospital deaths. What are you doing good about it? in reality?&lt;br /&gt;Now what are you all now really doing about many people suffering in your  Hospitals unnecessarily these days too due to the lack of competent staff? Actions speak louder over mere words.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; It is really really unacceptable that Personal Cleanliness in Hospitals and Hospital food isn't always that great still too.. It is fact I have seen it the actual quality of food varies also from one hospital to another even&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;MY  FATHER HAS NOW  HAD 3   PATIENTS IN HIS ROOM AND  2  OF THEM HAVE DIED IN THE SAME HOSPITAL ROOM  DUE TO UNNATURAL DEATHS, FOR THE DOCTOR  HAD OPENLY DECIDED TO LET THEM DIE. THE DOCTOR HAD PRIOR TOLD ME AND THE OTHERS HE  WOULD LET NATURE TAKE IT'S COURSE.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;ONE GREEK PATIENT FROM Dollard des Ormeaux  HAD RECEIVED 2 HEART STOKES IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER BEING ADMITTED EVEN, IMAGINE THAT HEART STROKES, BECAUSE NO ONE HAD BOTHER TO GIVE HIM ANY BLOOD THINNERS.. SO HE FINALLY GOT A FATAL STOKE AND DIED. THE UPSET PATIENTS DAUGHTER NOW BLAMED THE INEFFECTIVE NURSES FOR HIS BAD CARE AND HIS DEATH. NURSES FIRSTLY TAKE ORDERS FROM DOCTORS AND CANNOT PRESCRIBE  MEDICINE ON THEIR OWN..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;NEXT A  FRENCH CANADIAN PATIENT FROM Dollard des Ormeaux MR. PLOUFFE , HIS SON ALSO HAD CAME TO THE HOSPITAL TO  VISIT HIM, AND THE SON IMMEDIATELY WENT TO LOOK FOR HIS FATHER'S CLOTHES THAT HAS BEEN MISPLACED. THE FATHER SAID TO HIS SON WHEN CAN I GO HOME AND THE SON SAID YOU ARE NOT COMING HOME I AM PLACING YOU IN AN OLD AGE HOME. THE NEXT DEPRESSED FATHER STOPPED EATING HIS FOODS. THE  NURSES WHO BROUGHT THE FOOD TO HIM SAID IF HE WS NOT GOING TO EAT THE FOOD THEY WERE NOT GOING TO FEED HIM CAUSE THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO DO SO, AND THEY DID NOT FEED HIM THEY JUST TOOK AWAY THE TRAYS OF UNEATEN FOOD . FIVE DAYS LATER THE PATIENT NOW STARVED TO DEATH   DIED EVEN WHILE I WAS THERE TODAY. THE SON WAS TOLD HIS FATHER DIED, HE CAME MERELY LOOKED AT HIS FATHER AND IMMEDIATELY WENT AND TOOK HIS CLOTHES AND LEFT.  WHY BOTHER ABOUT THE CLOTHES EVEN?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two clearly main, very unacceptable basic Problems also with Canada's health care systems that need to be first dealt with, and it is also now the same basic problems with our too often costly, inadequate civil and public servants, cops, politicians:  &lt;br /&gt;-Unlike in the Private sector, in the Hospital, in the medical services, the gods, the doctors and nurses do wrongfully think they are above the law, above being touched, can do anything or nothing and get away with it, Does it also remind you of the bad MP's, bad MLA's, bad Aldermen, cops and the bad RCMP as well? No continual, really functional  recall tends to exist!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- The clear lack of adequate supervisors, supervision of the all of subordinates, and thus  when a person cheats, lies, steals, performs badly unlike in the private system, they wrongfully are generally not punished, not fired, nor also their bad supervisors for that matter now as well&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/and-now-how-many-more-are-there-like-him/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This is one of my most Popular web pages.. &lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/03/09/canadian-health-care/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The type of service you will get really depends on the type of doctor you have, on the province you are in, on the specific hospital you go  to as well and it varies.. from bad, very poor to great. You may have to go to at least 3 different doctors as a result. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A causally dressed visitor was standing by a recently admitted patients in the Hospital triage section, discovered many persons coming to ask him medical questions, and when he asked them why they were coming to him they had replied " I thought you were a doctor cause you were standing there doing nothing".&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The doctor  examining an elderly patient  who was complaining of his chronic pains next says , "I am sorry there is nothing I can do for you". The Patient replies, "Doctor if it was your own pain you would have found a cure for it." &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A man approaches the front  reception  desk of a local Hospital and says to the receptionist ” My Hospital Ombudsman she says I am crazy”. The receptionist replies “the Psych ward is on the second floor and someone can help you to get there”. He replies “Good and thank you, I want to commit her to the ward”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/quebec-doctors-want-a-legal-pardon-for-their-murders-of-citizens-patients/ "&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/quebec-doctors-want-a-legal-pardon-for-their-murders-of-citizens-patients/ &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://postedat.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/the-still-unrepentant-wicked-persons/ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/hospital-deaths-account-for-half-of-deaths-annually/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/02/02/great-example-of-a-two-tier-health-system-in-canada/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/death-in-hospitals/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32296879-1956546589108922221?l=thenonconformer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/1956546589108922221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/1956546589108922221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2010/02/mcgill-medical-doctors-in-montreal.html' title='McGill Medical Doctors in Montreal Quebec'/><author><name>paul kambulow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12775071324776228777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32296879.post-3992827649698446518</id><published>2009-12-30T17:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-30T17:49:07.164-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Subjects. posts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Canada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='top'/><title type='text'>I am persistent at least in my free speech right too</title><content type='html'>What about the CANADIAN charter right OF FREE SPEECH, to speak, to be heard in reality include  now all Canadians and not JUST  the selected few. It is an undeniable historical  fact of life that if you try to tell the bad people what they do not want to hear, or what they do not want others to know they next often will try to suppress your right of free speech, by any means, by your false oppression now as well, and that yes includes crooked persons, bad cops, bad politicians, bad elders, bad pastors.. even in a democracy.  2009/10/27/about-the-governmental-civil-liberties-threats-during-the-2010-olympics/  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give them an inch and the crooks next take a mile, including bad pastors, bad civil and public servants, bad business persons, bad professionals. Now Health care, Justice, Police, Consumers affairs, are the last places I accept any of their wrong doings quietly now as well. http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost since my first job after graduating from university I had learned that generally most people still are not to be trusted, they always do need to be supervised, and corruption still exists in construction, universities, municipalities, governments, corporations, amongst professionals and politicians as well. Here is what I know for sure in Canada that the proper policing, management , supervision human rights commissions are a real fact of life, in our society, in schools, life, in churches, governments, commerce, institutions, civil and public services, professional services too, and elsewhere, even on the net, for you will always have those 30 percent at least of the persons who will try to cheat, lie , steal, bend the rules, falsely believe they are above the laws. Self regulation alone is too often pretentious, farcical, often not applied as well. That applies especially to the professionals, civil and public services, police, municipalities, politicians, pastors now as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actual  top Subjects read by my readers this year..   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/&lt;br /&gt;in order..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;1 Divorce And Remarriage In The Christian  Church &lt;br /&gt;2 CRTC’s Farcical hearings on Internet speed &lt;br /&gt;3 2009 CANADIAN Political EDITORIAL&lt;br /&gt;4 l care..

As many Canadians do also know what has too often passed on as journalism in Canada in the last year has been too often unacceptably more spins, lies, distortions, contradictory presentations and unsupported  facts, very unprofessional now too,  where different news media  media often do differ significantly in their accounts of the same event.. Just cause someone is being quoted as saying something does not make their statement a  valid truth even. A good example of this was the issue of speeding and car accidents. For a long time the news reporters in Canada were falsely quoting the police in saying that an accident was caused by speeding, when we all can know that in the majority of cases speeding is not the main cause of accidents, but rather impaired, drunken driving is the most significant factor still even Canada wide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you can clearly note how the various  news media do  differ on the subject of recession, Real estate and also the stock market. One news media says the recession is over and another one at the same time says it is still ongoing.. One must be a Conservative biased news media, and the other one a Liberal one. One news media says it is good time to buy a home, and others say it is dangerous, a wrong time to buy a home.. and similarly one says it is a good time to invest in the stock market and another one says it is a bad time.. of course realtors, stock brokers, loan managers, always say it is a good time to buy for that is how they make their money, even by lying, conning people to buy.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;and who can you really believe these days still seems to be the main question, issue here too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/12/17/the-canadian-way-of-doing-business/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/most-old-media-management-twits-failed-to-adjust-to-the-new-reality/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/05/21/why-many-businesses-fail/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/12/26/canadian-editorial-cartoons-vi/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/12/22/supreme-court-creates-new-public-interest-free-speech-libel-defence-for-press-and-bloggers/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/about-time-that-a-life-sentence-in-jail-meant-a-a-life-time-in-jail/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cartoons see http://picasaweb.google.com/anonconformer/Thenonconformer#&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32296879-3992827649698446518?l=thenonconformer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/3992827649698446518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/3992827649698446518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-am-persistent-at-least-in-my-free.html' title='I am persistent at least in my free speech right too'/><author><name>paul kambulow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12775071324776228777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32296879.post-484692839597826546</id><published>2009-06-19T10:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-19T10:54:58.838-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Non Conformer</title><content type='html'>The Non Conformer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summary of my consistent, ongoing  valid complaints&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;THE TOPICS YOU SEARCHED FOR AND READ THE MOST RECENTLY SEEM TO BE THE SAME: BAD BELL, BAD COPS, BAD RCMP, BAD CHURCHES,  BAD PASTORS, BAD POLITICIANS, BAD MINISTERS, ALCOHOLICS, BAD HEALTH CARE, Police on the net, Rogers - Bell throtling the net,  AND THE FLU..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CANADA  WHERE THERE IS A SEPARATE JUSTICE, TAX SYSTEMS FOR THE RICH AND POWERFUL SUCH AS BRIAN MULRONEY, CONRAD BLACK.  INCIDENTALLY THE RCMP CLEARLY FAILED ALSO TO GET ANY OF THESE BAD GUYS TOO.  Now a good name is worth more than silver or gold and these men’s reputation has gone down the drain and their money will not next buy it back too.. they are the laughing stock of many Canadians now and that is life. The RCMP included now. &lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/the-mulroney-schreiber-affair/ http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/05/23/3-of-canadas-top-news-stories-relating-to-the-court-justice/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can quickly sum up my political experiences in Canada.. for decades now most people in Canada  seem to elect liars and alcoholics for politicians, and we have had now much too many of them elected as well.. Of course  it seems natural for alcoholics to lie, they seen to often lie that it is is ok to drink alcohol in the first place, and it seems natural for many lawyers who run for political offices, and many want to be politicians to lie to get elected.. Yes most people elect liars who tell them the things they want to hear.. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Every day police officers leave their homes and families and put their lives on the line for a salary, cause this is what they are being paid for, hired for and this does not mean that they are now even free of any negative criticism while they are doing their paid  duties, especially when there are so many outstanding questions regarding their    inappropriate use of authority, force by too many police officers,  plus the unacceptable false  cover ups of their wrong doings and their unacceptable lying now  too.  Plus basically  nothing has even changed in the Vancouver airport customs area since the RCMP’s death of the police immigrant Dziekanski. And there are still concerns about Liberal candidate Kash Heed and his former role as West Vancouver police chief and his unexpected retirement from the force less than two years into his contract, “There’s still a lot of anger about a $40,000 severance payout even though he voluntarily quit in February, leaving many unanswered questions about his status on the force,”  to supposedly avoid legal prosecution too. “The cops have a responsibility to follow moral leadership and let me tell you, the cops do not have that here [in Abbotsford] “NDP candidate for Abbotsford South, Bonnie Rai. These are all valid issues, concerns too.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; No  matter how that dirty RCMP weasel spins the facts, tries to weasel out of the truth, the RCMP was clearly wrong on many counts in the Taser death of a polish immigrant at the Vancouver airport.. they were uncompassionate, inconsiderate, used more restraining force than was necessary, and they next also clearly lied to cover-up their own immoral acts, and many times as well, They slander a good man in the process as well.. and so none of this was, is acceptable or forgivable.. none  of it.  http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/the-mickey-mouse-rcmp-in-canada/&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Monday June 15,2009 Canadian Press  VANCOUVER — A judge has decided the inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski will be allowed to make findings of misconduct against the four RCMP officers involved. The officers who stunned Dziekanski with a Taser at Vancouver’s airport challenged Commissioner Thomas Braidwood’s authority to make findings of misconduct against them. Braidwood had warned the officers he would consider allegations made at the inquiry — that they acted improperly and then lied to cover up their actions. The officers claimed those allegations amount to criminal offences, which public inquiries can’t do. They also argued that federal police officers are outside the jurisdiction of a provincial inquiry. But Justice Arne Silverman rejected those arguments, which means the inquiry can resume as scheduled this Friday with closing submissions.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Police abuses, this is just the tip of an iceberg, Yeah we STILL ALL DO NEED HELP WE NEED SOMEONE TO DEAL WITH THE DIRTY RCMP,  and the dirty lying Albertan justice minister  WHO said that many of the citizens did not complain about the bad RCMP and their unneeded use of the Taser.. he is a liar like the RCMP,   Top RCMP officer gives a cheap apologize  for airport Taser death while “a lot of the criminals are already going free, the four officers involved in this latest RCMP mess for example. Oh and interesting that you bring up drunk driving causing death because only one segment of our population seems to get away with it repeatedly. Off Duty officers.”  “When an organization looks after themselves more than who they are put in place to care for, it’s time to rethink at the roots.   “  “Fancy that, It only took the top cop 1 year and 7 months to give his  half-assed apology that they were more or less forced to give. (Public  outcry). Now if they put some of them in jail, it might show their sincere.  We know that won’t happen though, their infallible.  http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/05/11/bc-rcmp-apology-taser.html  http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/05/12/bc-taser-inquiry-wilson-dziekanski.html &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;IF THE TOO  OFTEN DIRTY RCMP  DID NOT LIKE THE JOB THEY SHOULD HAVE QUIT, do note this is AN  OPTION EVERY ONE HAS BUT I MYSELF NOW HAVE RUN INTO DIRTY RCMP OFFICERS  AT  TWO DIFFERENT AIRPORTS, Vancouver, Winnipeg  even DECADES AGO  TOO.. AND MOST RCMP OFFICER THAT I HAD ENCOUNTERED ELSEWHERE WERE ALSO LIARS,  THOSE IN Montreal, Calgary, Canmore TOO.. Reality – THE BAD RCMP PROBLEM  IS NOT JUST ONE ISOLATED CASE.. IT HAS EXISTED THE LAST 4 DECADES IN MY  WITNESS. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here also is what I found amazing and worth while examining now  in much more detail.. insurance companies in Canada do not mind gouging Canadian consumers in their greed to make more profits..  and we all know that accumulating speeding , traffic infractions, will cause your car insurance costs to go up significantly…   and yet here is what I find surprising, neither the insurance companies, the provincial government, nor the federal government, the police have real, valid detailed statistics on the causes of traffic accidents: such as how many were caused my alcoholic drivers, how many were caused by speeding, how many were caused by poor road conditions, lousy snow clearing as well, etc not even in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, BC as well.. …. so what do the insurance companies do with all the extra money they collect, certainly they of all persons should have firstly the best statistics on traffic accidents now in the first place, or how do they determine their rates??? Even Canada’s police chiefs have to rely on accident statistics from other countries, such as Australia, Great Britain, the US..&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;“Privacy advocates and civil libertarians, however, have vocally opposed the prospect of giving police “lawful access” to the digital conversations of Canadians by being able to access such things as their text messages, e-mails, web surfing habits and Internet phone lines. “It is an issue that has proven to be very, very controversial,” said Michael Geist, a law professor at University of Ottawa and public commentator on Internet legal issues. “The consistent criticism and concern that has been expressed is that there has to be some evidence that there is a real problem here and in the past we haven’t seen that,” he said. “Why is the status quo not good enough? What investigations have been impeded?”  Federal Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddard recently warned that forcing ISPs to surrender information “is a serious step forward toward mass surveillance” that violates the rights of Canadians. http://www.canada.com/Technology/Feds+give+cops+Internet+snooping+powers/1706191/story.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If the Police in Canada , the RCMP included now, were left to have their own way they would put everyone in jail, and kill all of the supposedly bad guys.. cause that is what happens when you are a brute beast now  and follow the letter of the law over the spirit of the law.. what the police do not need is more police power but a pay , salary cut instead.. What we really do need is more citizen consumer protection from cops and bad Corporations now like Bell, Rogers as well..    The Police in Canada too often are still  are bullies who tend to like to harass the weak, defenseless firstly.. they tend to be just as bad as the too often crooked evangelical pastors in Canada in reality too. I rightfully expose and oppose both groups too.   Too many of us have sadly learned the hard way that  the police often do abuse their powers, and lie often too, have hidden agendas.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The same police can’t catch all of the social welfare frauds, drug pushers, drug users, real bad guys, tax evaders, child molesters, citizen abusers, crooked cops, drunk drivers, crooked civil and public servants, bad politicians but they found time to harass me, to unlawfully use their authorities, to visit me in my home six times because they do not like me writing openly about the crooked too often cops and their rightful prosecutions..  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Here in Canada I had attended some political meetings   at the request of a neighbor  of mine, a lawyer,  who worked for city hall, shortly after that the same neighbor had told me that the local police had next complied a report on me at the request of the mayor, for apparently it was common practice for the mayor to use the police services to evaluate all of his possible political opponents. No wonder the main jail was across from the mayor’s office too. Next the same lawyer told me that the provincial government also had an RCMP report on me as well done by police..  and apparently I was classified as a religious terrorist because I also do talk about Jesus.  .. there really is no no such thing as privacy in Canada.. I understand that the Post office office has a database on the citizens of Canada in PEI as well.&lt;br /&gt;  http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/the-police-already-tap-my-interent-phone/&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The internet Providers would   be required to provide basic subscriber information to all of the law enforcement agencies and to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, upon request, keep records of the users input too,  and what else next too? The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada said officials would study the legislation before taking a position, but raised concerns about the possibility of “function creep,” where police gain significant powers to prosecute serious crimes, but then use it for a wider range of offences. “Once a power is created, there can be some departure from the strict objective where it is no longer justifiable to intrude privacy to such an extent,” said Chantal Bernier, assistant privacy commissioner. It is a fact of life that the cops tend to investigate, harass anyone who makes a police complaint, rather than dealing with the real bad cops reality. The police will put again pressure on ISP’s to delete my posts made on the net  about bad cops too in reality.. censorship. In decades of my writing on the net, the only material that was complained about to my ISP was my negative comments about the bad RCMP.. who do not like my rightful use of my free speech to talk about them in a negative manner.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The sad fact is we already have bad police on the net and it is firms like Bell who monitor their ISP users undeniably now as well, particularly any criticism of Bell too.  There are some legitimist reasons for their high  costs… one is the fact that the telecommunications companies like big bad Bell tend to be  very poorly managed, have too many cheap, indecent, incompetent personnel http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/10/12/bell-telus-team-up-to-upgrade-networks-and-why/&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;OTTAWA – A new report is recommending the legal blood-alcohol limit for drivers stay where it is.  Drivers who exceed the .08 limit – 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood – can be criminally charged. The limit was incorporated in the Criminal Code in 1969.  Impaired driving is the No. 1 criminal cause of death in Canada. But the House of Commons justice committee says in a report tabled Thursday that, without proof a lower limit would boost safety, practical considerations must take precedence. “While the committee is eager to see fewer deaths and injuries on the road as a result of impaired driving, it is concerned about the lack of consensus among experts in the field as to whether or not a lower … limit would achieve greater safety,” the MPs say. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/090618/national/drunk_driving_report &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Facts: 45 percent of car accidents are caused by drunk driver compared to speeding which is less then 15 percent.. but too often alcoholic themselves cops and civil, public servants, politicians so they do not want to enforce the drunk driving laws..&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Head scratcher: Inflation falls to virtually zero as prices rise Thu Jun 18, 12:25 PM  OTTAWA – Canada’s inflation rate fell to the lowest level in almost 15 years last month, but most Canadians will be feeling that most prices are climbing and some are even soaring. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;ALL BECAUSE it is because consumers, citizens need often more real protection from the corprations with their price fixings, price gouging too.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Canada has a small population, approximately 1/10 the size of the U.S.Smaller markets suffer from lack of diversity and competition.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;“Money grab, pure and simple. And for anyone who claims the free market will solve it, why hasn’t it happened yet?” Unbridled capitalism has a nasty habit of manifesting itself into a cancerous growth on the hind end of the collective consumer base. Without checks and balances, the gouging will continue unabated. And people keep voting for governments that support this.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Grocery chains, Corporations, ISP, iPhones, “Just like cable and satelite offers where they sign you up and then slowly bleed your services down to test patterns.  What I love is their departure gift after cancellation, the “cancellation fee”. These corporations are a joke. They will follow Chrysler into the dumpster as people increasingly must tighten budgets.” History repeats itself often &lt;br /&gt;http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/06/18/tech-text-message-pricing-keshav-cellphone.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Bashing the Americans may get some Canadian  politicians elected or re-elected, for it may appeal to the people who love to hate others, especially any  Americans but the sad truth, reality is that it will not bring more food to the Canadian tables but it will only make matters worse for all Canadians. A trade war between Canada and the United States over “Buy American” policies would hurt both countries, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said Sunday, a day after Canadian municipalities passed a resolution that could shut out U.S. bidders from city contracts. At the annual general meeting of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities narrowly passed a motion on Saturday to bar bids from companies whose countries impose trade restrictions with Canada. Ignatieff said he’s not in favour of retaliatory action to shut American companies out of the multibillion-dollar municipal and provincial procurement market,  “A war over access to procurement at the state and local government level on both sides of the border is bad for Canada and bad for the United States,” said Ignatieff.  AND WHERE IS OUR USELESS PM STEPHEN  HARPER IN ALL OF THIS?  but Harper is despised now  in  Quebec because he clearly seen as just another Anglophone out to get what he can for himself and  who to me would likley rob his own mother to get richer. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need also to get used to this fact  people lie, and often too, so does our PM stephen Harper, so do  many of the politicians, ministers, civil servants and cops, RCMP  now too as well as you do know.. so do the statistics, polls as well.. and when you read about 10 percent uemploynment presently , 10 percent of reduction in manufacturing in  Canada this year, thus  you  now can easily, safely double those figures and that is how bad the Canadian situation really is too..   little doubt that we remain deep in the heart of the recession, but didn’t our Prime Minister Stephen Harper say not long ago there wasn’t a recession and the Canadian economy was strong? Imagine that now our Canadian Conservative  Prime Minister Stephen Harper who could not foresee, predict the recession, has his own opinion on what had caused it, and why should any of us believe him now too? PM Stephen Harper has been accused of abandoning basic Conservative values. I maintain that he and his cabinet never had any, for  they are still sleeping in their stone age caves practicing the survival of the fittest..&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Note FIRST to the evangelical ostriches who deny back to me  the negative reality, as per the  witness at the Western  Standard blog who had REPORTED in Writing AS WELL ON this event below  sponsered by Preston Manning, and Stephen Harper as the surprise speaker,  some of the people present there were now Getting DRUNK ON ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. This was NO CHRISTIAN, CHURCH GATHERING for sure, but a main political event. How dumb evangelcial Conservatives can believe any of these two guys are now supposedly Christian is beyond me. As I have already posted on the net many times my own direct personal fellowship, undeniable witness in Calgary , Alberta   with key conservative, evangelical pastors , leaders  of the Calgary Christian Center, Bearspaw House of prayer, Calgary First Alliance Church, Salvation, Evangelical free church, Bowness Full Gospel Church, FGBMFI, Don Ross Ministries, and others …, was that many of them did not hesitate to cheat, lie, steal, slander, or to put their family members on the church payroll, or even to abuse  others and they also did  much more bad things. So why would I be surprised if Stephen Harper and his colleagues now are unacceptably not much better?  I have also  clearly said that to many Conservative party supporters, the professing Christian ones included now  are big  liars, hypocrites, and that is undeniable now as well for decades too especially in the West and elsewhere. Canadian Conservatives loudly they claim they believe in democracy, their  rights, their freedom of speech, their own right to be heard, their right to govern, but they next do too often do rather deny me my own right of free speech, my rebuttal of their lies, my detail post of their immoral acts, on the net and elsewhere openly under some false excuse, and that evidently to all now makes them liars. They also to often tend not to hesitate to abuse me, slander me, bully me, and that makes them perverts too. They really do not care about the truth, other people’s rights but mainly and solely their own it seems for sure.  I too have now learned along time ago that the bad men and bad women like to disguise themselves as good persons too and they like to ,  want to have all the sole rights, the rights to do all the talking as well, and all it takes for these evil persons to continue to prosper is for the good persons to do nothing, well real  life does not work that well, I thus do not mind, do not hesitate to tell the truth, even if they falsely label is hate, vile, and I do not mind to expose the liars, cheats, thieves, con men, imposters and to rightfully demand their persecution and incarceration too, no matter who they they they are, or how important they now do think they are. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems contemptuous at worst and indifferent at best to the role of Parliament. The federal finiance minister maild me a from letter lying to me.. sad that I no longer  do not believe anything a Conservative Minister says&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;WHY IS IT THAT THE CONSERVATIVE MINISTERS ARE SO POWER HUNGRY WHEN IT IS NOW TOO OBVIOUS TO MOST PEOPLE THEY ARE FIRSTLY STILL TOO INCOMPETENT TO HANDLE IT.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;HEY I ONCE HAD WRITTEN A LONG TIME AGO THAT THE TOO OFTEN SELF CENTERED, PROUD PEOPLE OF ALBERTA DO REALLY NEED TO STOP BASHING THE POOR PEOPLE, AND THOSE ON SOCIAL AID, FOR A DAY WILL COME THAT THEY TOO WILL BE NEEDING SOCIAL AID AND THAT DAY SADLY HAS COME..&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Environmental groups have long called the tailings lakes in the Alberta oil sands Canada’s toxic secret, but companies operating there will soon be required to disclose exactly what pollutants are there. http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/06/18/edmonton-oilsands-tailings.html&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;AN ALBERTA  GOVERNMENT SCREWS UP AND IT LIKE THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT WANTS NEXT MORE MONEY TOO?  FIRE THE BAD MINISTERS, CIVIL SERVANTS FIRST, ALL OF THEM.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Alberta asks Ottawa for stabilization funding Alberta Finance Minister Iris Evans said officials in her department … believes it’s important Alberta lobby Ottawa on health funding.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; EX ALBERTAN HEALTH MINISTER  Mr. Gary Marr, who is now posted as Alberta’s Minister-Counsellor   in Washington DC. Mr. Marr has held many positions in Alberta’s cabinet including heath minister, environment minister and education minister. Mr. Gary Marr now HAD  RESIGNED AS HEALTH MINISTER CAUSE WHILE HE TOOK HIS PAY FOR BEING A HEALTH MINISTER HE HAD ALSO HIRED AT AN EXTRA  PAY A  CONSULTANT TO DO THE ACTUAL WORK, TO DO THE WORK THAT HE WAS BEING PAID FOR. AND  WE ALL KNOW WHAT A MESS ALBERTA’S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS IN EVEN NOW. SO AS A REWARD BAD BAD MARR NOW HAS A GOVERNMENT PAYING JOB IN WASHIBGTON DC. UNBELIVEABLE.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;When the Alberta government    dropped “The Alberta Advantage” as the provincial motto after 15 years of service, replacing it with the more lyrical, if wordier, “Freedom to create, spirit to achieve,” IT WAS ALSO DUE TO THE VERY  BAD MINISTERS IN ALBERTA LIKE GARY MARR. ALBERTA NOW IS Facing plans for more than $10.3-billion in deficits over four years, AND IS PONDERING TAX INCREASES.  ONTARIO NOW AS WELL FOR ONTARIO ALSO HAS  BAD MINISTERS, A BAD  MINISTER OF HEALTH TOO ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Critics lash out at government over eHealth spending  Tories, NDP say heads must roll at eHealth Ontario over untendered … http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/corupted/&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;I WROTE OFTEN ABOUT THIS BEFORE, COMPUTER PURCHASE PRACTICES ARE ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPTED RIDDEN PRACTICES.. AND I WAS ALSO STILL SURPRISED MORE SUCH REVELATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN FORTHCOMING IN THE LAST 3 DECADES NOW TOO.. OR IN FACT ABOUT THE REST OF THE CORRUPTED HOSPITAL PROCUREMENT PRACTICE IN ALL PROVINCES.. WE ALL ALREADY KNOW THE RCMP IS TOO INCOMPETENT TO HANDLE SUCH REVIEWS, FOR THEY ARE VERY LIKELY CORRUPTED THEMSELVES EVEN IN THESE MATTERS TOO..&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Now the Ontario government seems to agree. FOR A DECADE TOO I HAVE MADE IT VERY CLEAR RIGHTFULLY TO ALL NEWS EDITORS, ELECTED POLITICIANS AT THE FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, MUNICIPAL LEVEL THAT NOT ONE CENT OF TAXPAYER’S MONEY SHOULD BE USED TO BUY ALCOHOL ENTERTAINMENT, EVEN BECAUSE 45 PERCENT OF ALL VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED BY  ALCOHOL, DRUNK DRIVERS, 65 PERCENT OF ALL CRIMES, DOMESTIC ABUSES NOW TOO.. ADDING TO THE OVERALL HEALTH CARE COSTS TOO.  http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/the-time-has-come-to-end-glamourising-alcohol-sponsorship/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MANY BUSINESSES FAIL FIRSTLY BECAUSE OF THE POOR , NEGATIVE WAY THEY SEE, DO TREAT  THE CUSTOMERS, AND THEIR EMPLOYEES AS WELL. So sooner or later they still tend to fail as a direct result, face cutbacks, downsizing, serious changes .. SECONDLY THEY USE A FALSE, POOR , NEGATIVE MANAGEMENT STYLE STILL, so they nxt tend to join the ranks of firms going bankrupt..&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/05/21/why-many-businesses-fail/&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;APPROPRIATE  PUBLIC EXPOSURE AND THE APPROPRIATE PROSECUTION OF THE GUILTY SERVES EVERYONE’S BEST INTEREST &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;FOR A GOOD NAME IS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN ANY AMOUNT OF SILVER OR GOLD AND A TARNISHED ONE IS WORTHLESS.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;(Rom 12:2 KJV)  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I am a normal, typical  Canadian who really RIGHTFULLY TOO dislikes the crooked bad politicians, bad civil and public servants, bad cops, bad pastors, bad lawyers, bad professionals, bad Canadian corporations and their related bad managers, and yes I consitently do try to do something good about it. On the net as well.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Exemplary Public exposure and prosecution of the unrepentant  guilty persons serves everyone's best interest &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It is also  COMMON  fact of life, particularly amongst the young, inexperienced who cannot handle serious , heavy negative realties that false denial, ostrich approach is a serious part of their make up, and their related defense protection when you cannot discredit the facts, you make a false personal attack on the writer, persons instead. I WAS SURPRISED THAT 3 western CANADA NEWS EDITOR FIT INTO THIS CATEGORY NOW AS WELL. it just was too hard for THEM to grasp why seriously the RCMP tend to be such a bad police force in Canada... but it did not change the reality that they tended to be a bad force. So because I rightfully tend to expose crooks, my writings tend to deal with negative aspects, and some people who cannot handle the truth tried to label me as an angry person.. well the reality is that God himself is angry with the wicked person every day, so now how could I be different here as well?&lt;br /&gt;So overall still now  what really is needed  firstly is not more CHEAP, PRETENTIOUS  self regulations,   the supposed discipline of their members , or even their ensuring their education, but real INSPECTIONS, EFFECTIVENESS , competency testing.  For it is a fact that anything that will put a self regulating body or a Ministry into a negative light will have a built in  tendency still to be denied,   suppressed, minimized in reality, to be ineffective .  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There in reality is the main  one important step that all consumers can take to protect themselves from any unscrupulous persons  and that is enforced, exemplary public exposure and prosecution of the supposedly guilty persons by a recognized judicial public body,  and so now how many such bad persons now have really been exposed, prosecuted in the last few years in reality too by the responsible Ministers as well?  None? and why not?   &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Exemplary Public exposure and prosecution of the guilty serves very ones best interest… too often still missing in the PROFESSIONAL BODIES, EVEN IN THE RCMP, police   forces, churches, ALL GOVERNMENTS  as well it seems too.&lt;br /&gt;Still   "about the DRUNKS, LIARS, THIEVES, ABUSERS, bullies, thugs, proud oppressors, war mongers " &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THERE IS A  VERY BASIC COMMON MISCONCEPTION ON HOW TO DEAL WITH ANY PERCEIVED EVEN INJUSTICES, ABUSES, ANYWHERE, IN THE CHURCH AS WELL, BESIDES IMMEDIATELY CALLING THE LOCAL  POLICE.. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;THE NEW TESTAMENT IS CLEAR HOW TO DEAL WITH IT.. COMMUNICATION - AND YOU DON'T FIRST POST IT ALL ON THE NET.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;First you merely ask the guilty, bad persons personally to repent twice, the first time without a witness, the second time with witnesses THAT you have asked them to repent.. and   proof, substantiation is NOT required.. after you have done that you can next post it openly on the net, tell all the others.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Next God is fully free to deal with the unrepentant guilty offenders and believe me he will.. I have now been doing for decades too..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I SIMPLY SEND AN EMAIL, I PUT IT INTO CLEARLY WRITING, SO THE GUILTY PARTY CANNOT SAY I DID NOT ASK HIM OR HER TO REPENT.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;WHETHER THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR NOT TO GOD DOES NOT MATTER.&lt;br /&gt;THE POLICE, RCMP, MINISTERS, GOVERNMENT CONSULTANTS THESE DAYS, IMMIGRANT CONSULTANTS TOO  IT SEEMS , SEEM TO BE ANOTHER WORD FOR ABUSERS, THIEVES, LIARS CROOKS. SO WE ALL NEED TO DEAL WITH IT MORE EFFECTIVELY NOW TOO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ALSO do  still need to understand, define what UNACCEPTABLE abuse and what UNACCEPTABLE hate is, and unacceptable abuse is to  deny a person's legal, human rights, and hate is the clear opposite of love, meaning an unloving act.. Hate and  Verbal abuse unrestrained often next do lead to physical abuse in reality too.  And both hate and verbal, physical abuses are  all unacceptable at all times too no matter who you are or who you think you are too. . &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;but honestly critiquing  NOW certain individuals for their own unacceptable bad act is not always HATE. . &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It is a false statement that if one makes any negative statement about anyone, Jews, Muslims, Arabs, white or black, Asian people, natives , etc., that one is  a racist or promoting hatred.. maybe one is merely exercising one's appropriate right of free speech, thought..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now I had witnessed a Person committing immoral, illegal acts many times and when I rightfully reported it next to to the proper authorities, the clearly  guilty  person next  had distorted the truths and lying had said I was promoting hatred towards him and his family, which clearly now was not so. I was a witness of the immoral acts still, unacceptable wrong doings.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Also I do not believe that everyone sets out to be a deliberate racist, it seems to be often merely a poorly thought out stupid mistake for 70 percent of the persons who do it, and many people once they realize what they have done next do even admit their errors and stop it, unfortunately there are the remaining few hate mongers who still do get carried away with their hatred, sins, who need to be incarcerated for their crimes so they can stop and learn not to do it.. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;(Rev 2:4 KJV)  Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;(Rev 3:19 KJV)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;and  thou shall  love thy nieghbour as thyself always..&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;It is very clear that the Darby Plymouth Brethren, Dispensationalist  Christians to compensate for their failure to try to convert Jewish persons have come up with false reasons for not doing so as well&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/i-have-learned-decades-and-decades-ago-that-the-brethren-are-deceitful/&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;http://postedat.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/dispensationalists-it-seems-to-compensate-for-their-often-rejections/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There actually is no Biblical basis, promises, prophecy for Israel reclaiming this land in the whole New Testament.. just more Old Testament Jewish spins.. http://mccainvrsobama.wordpress.com/2008/12/12/the-restoration-of/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Do see and visit my other sites too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/  &lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.multiply.com/&lt;br /&gt;the non comformer.spaces.live.com &lt;br /&gt;http://thenoncomformer.spaces.live.com/ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://witnessed.wordpress.com/&lt;br /&gt;http://wittnessed.wordpress.com/ &lt;br /&gt;http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/ &lt;br /&gt;http://postedat.wordpress.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;God bless you and have a nice day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32296879-9099144258277860444?l=thenonconformer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/9099144258277860444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/9099144258277860444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2009/06/someone-has-to-do-it-persistently.html' title='Someone has to do it persistently'/><author><name>paul kambulow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12775071324776228777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32296879.post-3831210014066602762</id><published>2009-03-05T22:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-05T22:46:32.893-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bell Canada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stephen Harper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='RCMP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Justice'/><title type='text'>Continued</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I have learned a long time ago that public exposure and prosecution of the abusers serves everyone's best interests,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Telling lies hurts oneself still as well not just others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Admittedly it is sad, but still the truth that too many Cops and Politicians as well it seems are often alcoholic and liars..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Most people in reality anyway are Ostriches, they regularly do have  glamorous versions of the reality, a disserted one, a spin, one that they use to make themselves not to deal with it or to think about it negatively.. not surprisingly since  the average person now  lies 3 times every 10 minutes..&lt;br /&gt;But let me tell you 2 things about telling lies&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a: we tend to believe our own lies, funny how that is, say it often enough and you yourself start to believe the lie as being the truth when it is still a lie.. and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b: the more you do now lie to yourself the crazier, the more insane you yourself do  become even if you may not admit it, or now  be aware of it… eventually you become totally loony as a result, a far grasp from reality. I have seen many a persons go there now too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Democrats Move to Extend EI To Those Who Need It  includes news media, entertainment personnel.. Conservatives, RCMP, Bell next too..&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;MP Stockwell Day alleges protectionism. Says U.S. businesses use security as way of controlling market. Some American businesses are using security concerns as an excuse to try to keep Canadian goods out of the U.S. market, says Canada’s trade minister. So what real good is he now doing about it besides talking about it? Ever notice how many news media still do even lie and say their still often pretentious, usless MP is the best? I look at the results… not the mere words.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON — Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said Canada needs further assurances from General Motors Corp. and other struggling automakers that the industry remains viable over the long term, and that any federal bailout will not be a “waste of taxpayers’ money.” The federal government announced in December it was prepared to offer $4 billion in aid to the automakers, including $3 billion for GM Canada and $1 billion for Chrysler Canada. General Motors, in a proposal submitted last month to Ottawa, is seeking $6 billion in Canadian aid as part of a restructuring plan that also proposes sharp cuts to employee pay and benefits for retirees. Still the General Motors Corp.’s auditors have raised “substantial doubt” about the troubled automaker’s ability to continue operations, and the company said it may have to seek bankruptcy protection if it can’t execute a huge restructuring plan. The GM auditor’s report “leads us to the same conclusion that we had before, namely that we have to review their plans very closely and make sure they make sense” for Canadian taxpayers. I shed no tears for the bad executives, managers of GM. My new Buick had a busted transmission straight from the factory even, next the replacement Buick had brake problems,  and was the last GM car I bought too.. so they GM  are reaping what they sowed  too..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do belief that people should be allowed to find temporary relief AND escape from a bad relationship as well.. I was glad I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Most Dangerous Cities in Canada according to MacLean’s clearly seem to be in the WEST, which also has the highest divorce rates,  and they all next get likely worse because of the present recession and drugs? Predictable even these are the get rich quick, boom and bust  places where many persons now who had left their PARENTS  back EAST.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Unhappily married women are more likely than unhappily married men to suffer high blood pressure, obesity and high blood sugar, putting them at greater risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes, say U.S. researchers. While both genders are just as likely to feel depressed in strained marriages, the similarity appears to end there. And yet next  many women foolishly still do  think a quick divorce will bring them next  riches and happiness next, and significantly more women file for a divorce over men, but it almost all of the cases  does not go the way they had expected it to go and  in many ways.. they next rather cannot overcome Carma, the fact that they are  reaping  what they themselves had sowed, for  they had initially made a bad choice of a mate firstly,  or were too lazy, and/or had an unrealistic expectation of what marriage was, is. Marriage  it is not just living together, sex.. but a lot of hard work for both now too. Blaming others mainly over personal accountability is the typical crook’s way. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;” The whole aspect is treating each other with love and respect and letting the other person know they are loved and respected. Life is to short for lack of consideration for others and the joy caring can bring”&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Me I am working too hard, I have no time to be depressed… I also  try to make the best use of what I have   http://stayinhealth.wordpress.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;and surprisingly to me too this below  has become one of my most popular, most read  posts&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/01/02/divorce-and-remarriage-in-the-christian-church/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sorry anytime a person  anywhere loses his or her job, except for : the crooks, realtors, used and new car salesmen, computer dealers, bad cops, bad civil and public servants, bad lawyers, bad accountants, bad doctors, bad nurses, bad pastors, politicians and their aides, and a job loss  it is a great tragedy that is not to be underestimated, a job or career changes are debasing to one's health, as well as one's family and one's finances too..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The useless RCMP pretentious, inadequate watchdog says he lacks the powers to check whether the Mounties have made changes to prevent another Maher Arar affair. Paul Kennedy, chair of the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, told a Commons committee today he can provide no assurances the government has enacted the Arar inquiry's recommendations or also the Taser recommendations or whatever? Fire him too ASAP along with all of the RCMP. Undeniable images of Dziekanski's horrible death, and the undeniable reality of  the glaring contradictions between the officers' statements and what really happened. Many people are in jail because the Queen's courts had relied on what they believed to be accurate accounts of events by trained RCMP officers, supported by their notes made at the time. The Dziekanski inquiry is rightfully raising troubling questions about the reliability of that RCMP evidence presented . The contradictions and inaccuracies in the evidence of the three officers who have testified suggest undeniably the RCMP officers  were incompetent or more likely dishonest. Their accounts were showed before all to be wildly inaccurate and self-serving. Under a video evidence, and  the lawyer's cross  examinations, the RCMP officers changed their initial written down accounts of the Vancouver  airport Taser death details, clearly showing that these RCMP  officers now should be personally as well pursued for lying to the courts, obstruction of Justice. Their RCMP superiors as well who had initially wanted to hold the same video for 2 years and not give it back to the owner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now   as if you all did not know that already that the Local and the national police cannot be respected to do a decent inquiry into the alleged wrong doings of any police officers, cause we can seem all to know that the accused police do not hesitate to lie, to cover-up the reality... now self regulation  of the police force, is just useless self masturbation always it seems, thus we need independent  reviews of all police complaints for all of the police forces too in Canada, with real negative consequences on the guilty persons now too and it is  as simple as that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN ONE YEAR 60% of fatally injured drivers in Canada had a positive reading for blood alcohol and 160,000 people were convicted of impaired   driving .  IMPAIRED DRIVING CONVICTIONS ARE MAINLY ENFORCED 2 MONTHS OF THE YEAR FIRSTLY, AND ARE NOT DONE THE WHOLE YEAR.  generally alcohol-related driving offences account for approximately 25% of all Criminal Code prosecutions. " If you drink and drive, it’s everybody’s business" still. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND in Canada in all provinces now too DRIVING at  supposedly  UNSAFE SPEED, supposedly speeding  ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT 14.5 PERCENT OF  VEHICLE ACCIDENT'S DEATHS AS OPPOSED TO IMPAIRED DRIVING AT 45 PERCENT! so tell me, do tell us all  again why the police do not go after the drunk drivers more, and when they do it is only 2 months of the year, December and January, when the alcoholics do stay alcoholics all year and likely drive impaired still all year too.. so why does the police fill up the courts with the fast buck, revenue generating traffic tickets, helping the insurance firms to get more money too by increasing the insurance rates???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main rightful speculation today is that our new Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his cabinet, colleagues already are doing it, and will continue use taxpayer's money to promote their own reelection and that of their party members, which brings me to my basic rightful complaint, that our elected representatives they all should stop using the tax payers resources, their staff, their offices to promote themselves, to have a good time for themselves too,  and now really start to offer real, decent governmental helps,  services to all Canadians solely. Really!&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;A good election issue for the Opposition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I NOW DO HAVE ABOUT 30 DIFFERENT INTERNET SITES.  I HAVE 10 WORD PRESS SITES NOW INCLUDED.. &lt;br /&gt;FUNNY THE ONLY ONE SITE THAT I GOT THE CONTENT COMPLAINT ABOUT AT ALL THIS YEAR WAS THE ONE FROM  YESTERDAY, THE SAME  WORD PRESS SITE POST ABOUT THE REALLY BAD  RCMP. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;AND NOW WHY NOT ANY COMPLAINTS ON ANY OF THE OTHER 29 SITES, AND ALL OF THEIR HUNDREDS OF  RELATED POSTS? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;WHAT THE BAD RCMP DOES NOT LIKE MY RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH STILL? TOO BAD FOR THEM.&lt;br /&gt;But when I do make  clearly negative post about the RCMP like I did YESTERDAY.. I had expected negative feedbacks and within 8  hours I was not disappointed , someone had  to no avail complained about my site content to the others.. and the only other time I had a site content complaint in decades also was when I had another negative post about the RCMP too elsewhere.. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So what is it?  The HIGHER POLITICAL POWERS, JUSTICE MINISTERS, POLICE COMMISSIONS AND THE RCMP think they are now abusive Gods who can FALSELY TRY TO INTIMIDATE ORDINARY ME? IT IS VERY VERY ILL ADVISED.. THEY HAVE EVERYTHING TO LOOSE , NOT JUST BUDGET CUTS BUT  THEIR PENSIONS INCLUDED  NOW.. DUE TO MY REAL PUBLIC EXPOSURES.. THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD, AND A GOOD NAME IS WORTH MORE THAN ANY SILVER OR GOLD TOO..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Things rarely go the way you plan them .. very  rarely. Many decades ago  I was asked to be the church secretary and to also next to take the deacon's meeting's notes, the regularly meetings of the Church deacons in my local  Baptist Church. It was my first experience now also  with church politics as well, and being a church secretary. So next  I faithfully listened to all that was said at the meetings, I wrote down all the conclusions agreed upon and submitted them to all of the members regularly.  A few weeks had passed and I accidently heard next that the founding church pastor was griping about the contents of my meetings report to others, not to me, griping that  they were not coming out the way he had wanted them to come out. Well I could not help that for I did my job as best as I could.  Next to my surprise the pastor convened a meeting with the church deacons, and I was of course, present and the same pastor had asked two senior elders to be present to discuss   unexpected  critical items.. and to my surprise one of the critical items was the proposed removal of me from the church membership, from being a church secretary , and it kind of was sudden as well.. But the chairman of the board of deacons quickly told the elders that the matter now firstly was none of their business, and that I had nothing to apologize for too. The chairman rather proposed   immediately that they do a personal poll as to how the deacons do feel about working with the same pastor now.  Next all the deacons said they could not honestly work with the pastor anymore, he clearly was political manipulative, and a bad pastor. The Bad pastor shortly next walked in at the end of the meeting thinking that his dirty work was done, when the chairman told him in fairness that they had been talking rather about him, and he laid out the fact that all of the deacons could not work with him. The Pastor visibly in shock shortly announced his resignation. And I immediately left this church permanently, I too wanted nothing more to do with it. The whole matter did not end at that. The pastor next had instructed the elders to try to remove, to kick out all of the trouble makers, the deacons especially, and then the elders could call him back to his home church. Unfortunately for the pastor, the best laid plans are not good enough often too, for the same pastor next had a car accident on the 401, the sun had blinded him and he ran into another car and he had a serious accident that hospitalized him for 6 months.. so the Home church could not wait that long to be without a   pastor so now  they got a new pastor. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This next was the first of 3 founding church pastors I too had witnessed being removed from their church permanently too.  Dirty Politics, really You cannot get away with it, for many people can see what you really are and what you  are doing  and why, God especially. And when you try to abuse a simple nobody like me, many others wisely know that if they leave this unchecked they will be abused next too and so they do something about it for the good of everyone too. As simple as that. I too rightfully do not allow any abuse of me, but will and have  shouted it from the housetop for the whole world to know, even that which is done in secret now too, using my right of free speech.. surely by now the wise guys should have prefigured out by now what I was like and what I too would do next when being abused? or they are really not so wise still? We can all read it world wide on the net next too eh???&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;SO DOES THE PM STEPHEN HARPER, THE JUSTICE MINISTER AND THE RCMP WANT TO GO TO WAR WITH ME, AND ESCALATE THE ISSUE? WAR WITH AN ORDINARY CITIZEN AND WHO ELSE WITH NEXT?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey I tried to be nice, I summarized all of my latest political complaints still left to date with the backup reasons for them as well,  and all on one page,  the page I had sent to you all today as well, and of course someone next complained abut the content of this page to others of course,  but firstly  they did not speak to me about it.... I sure would like to know who it was.. the justice Minister, or the RCMP??? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; DRUGS, SMOKING, ALCOHOL KILL - BEWARE&lt;br /&gt;SO DO BAD DOCTORS, BAD NURSES, BAD HOSPITALS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I have no respect for bad cops or bad politicians..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mandatory prison sentences are appropriate for those who commit serious drug offences threatening our society," said Justice Minister Rob Nicholson. The proposed legislation would impose one-year mandatory jail time for marijuana dealing, when it is linked to organized crime or a weapon is involved. The sentence would be increased to two years for dealing drugs such as cocaine, heroin or methamphetamines to young people, or pushing drugs near a school or other places frequented by youths. The bill also calls for a two-year mandatory prison terms for being caught growing at least 500 marijuana plants and increased maximum imprisonment to 14 years, from the current seven, for running grow operations. The government also proposes tougher penalties for trafficking in date-rape drugs.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I have to totally agree with the federal Justice minister here about the truth, fact that serious drug offences do now also require serious jail time, and jail next is a good place for a lot of people to think where they want to go next too.. I have done prison visitations and I know people in jail get a chance to think about their past crimes for sure..   My experience also  is that the police themselves will not and they do not arrest many drug users still..  There is another thing many people seem to forget.. that is how many of the drug users get the funding for their drug habits.. next eventually it means theft from others basically thus also hurting many others..  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;BUT MEANWHILE WHY IS IT THE POLICE ALWAYS ASK FOR TOUGHER LAWS FOR THE CRIMINALS WHEN THEY THE RCMP CAN'T OR REFUSE TO CATCH THE BAD GUYS FIRSTLY?    &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;U.S. State Department says Canada the top source for ecstasy  Fri Feb 27, 6:27 PM WASHINGTON - The U.S. State Department says Canada should do more to curb the production and trade in ecstasy and other illicit drugs. The 2009 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, released Friday, highlights the growth of methamphetamine "super labs" throughout the country, particularly in British Columbia and Ontario. The report says Canada has become the No. 1 source of ecstasy south of the border.   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The report also quoted Canadian officials as saying Prime Minister Stephen Harper wanted to increase penalties for drug production and trafficking, but not for drug use. ( Typical  Harper Hypocrisy, false partiality) &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;THE POLITICIANS CAN LEGISLATE ALL THE LAWS THEY WANT, BUT YOU STILL CANNOT FORCE SOMEONE TO RESPECT THE BAD COPS, RESPECT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE EARNED, NOT LEGISLATED..  HISTORY ALWAYS SHOWS THAT THE PEOPLE STILL WILL NEVER RESPECT THE BAD COPS..&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;"Police is a public service, not a corporation, and the only PR they are supposed to do is through their work to make sure they earn public support and trust. People don't want to see police officers doing PR to protect police's interests a) in the media and b) during a major investigation."  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;More questions than answers in mountain rescue 660 News&lt;br /&gt;RCMP in BC to speak about late search for Montreal ski couple  CBC.ca - The Montreal couple was lost in the backcountry near the Kicking Horse Resort for 10 days, according to RCMP. (CBC) The RCMP will hold a press conference Thursday in Golden, BC, to help explain why it took more than a week to begin a search for a …  Husband rescued after 9 days on BC mountain National Post&lt;br /&gt;Edmonton Sun  - Globe and Mail  - CTV.ca  - The Canadian Press &lt;br /&gt;all 116 news articles »    Langue : Français &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Many other incidents in the past few years have also raised serious questions about the ethics and competence of RCMP officers. Why was an 82-year-old man tasered while he lay in a Kamloops hospital bed? Why wasn't a heavily armed tactical team called in to the incident in Mayerthorpe, Alta., which resulted in four Mounties being shot to death by a man known to be dangerous? Just recently, in northern Saskatchewan local residents found the frozen body of a teenager who had escaped from an RCMP car the night before after being arrested for drunkenness. It took them only half an hour to find him and they were left wondering why the Mounties didn't call on them right away. The bigger scandals, such as the RCMP's willingness to help the U.S. authorities who shipped Maher Arar to Syria for torture, and their bungling of the Air India investigation, have cast long shadows on our national police force. Relationships between police officers and the public are always fraught with tension. But it seems the RCMP has fallen so far from grace that it's hard to imagine it will ever recover public confidence.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/594422&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Full real, active  Vigilance by all persons here is still always required in reality. There are still too few cost, money controls - and too many opportunities for fraud and abuse - associated with the biggest outlay of federal money in our own government's history.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;President Barack Obama told officials at all levels of government the he would hold them accountable for how they spend federal stimulus money, pledging to "call them out" if the funding is wasted on projects that do not generate jobs for the struggling economy.   He a  warned the nation's mayors   that he would use the "full power" of the presidency to expose and crack down on them if they misuse the stimulus dollars meant to boost the sagging economy.  If a federal agency or a local government,  Municipality proposes a project that will waste that money, he  will not hesitate to call them out on it  and use the full power of his office and his administration to stop it. "And I want everybody here to be on notice ".  He also said a White House team will track how the funding is spent. A report by his budget director laid out specific guidelines that states and cities must adopt for reporting activities financed with the money. "What I will need from all of you is unprecedented responsibility and accountability on all of our parts," Obama said. "The American people are watching."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many persons they also urged the US president to make sure the money does not get caught up in the kind of bureaucratic delays that often slow the flow of funding from the federal government to cities. "It took 2 1/2 years before any money really hit the city of New Orleans after Katrina,"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Obama's warning confirms his role too as a guardian of the public purse, which could help inoculate him when inevitable controversies erupt over how the money is being spent by some municipalities.  Too  many persons rightfully also do  worries that too much money will be abused, stolen but spent recklessly on end projects that have no long-term job, economic  benefits. It is the  constituents themselves who are paying for it all now still with their tax money&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This is a very sad commentary that such abuses do often still occur in both the US and Canada now too.  There is always the obligations to spend the taxpayer's money  money wisely, free from politics and free from personal agendas. That now still applies to   anybody that   takes part in any amount of this funding.  On this there is no compromise or  shortcuts. Full, real, active  Vigilance by all persons here is still always required in reality. There are still too few cost, money controls - and too many opportunities for fraud and abuse - associated with the biggest outlay of federal money in our own government's history.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Back in late 1995, the Liberal government of Jean Chrétien was close to panic after the federalist side came within a whisker of losing the Quebec referendum. The Liberals did what governments do when they don't know what else to do - they threw money at the problem. They took a little-known program created to promote Canadian identity, which in the year before the referendum had spent a relatively minuscule $2 million, and pumped money into it, turning it into a huge patronage slush fund. By the time it was over, the Sponsorship Program, for that's what it was, had burned through $322 million in taxpayer's money. Some of the money was wasted, some was stolen, some found its way into the pockets of Liberals operatives in Quebec, some into the coffers of the party, and some simply disappeared. No one knows how much money went astray, but it could have been as much as $100 million. It was an outrage, but it was inevitable. In its wisdom - or desperation - the Liberals took the sponsorship program out of the hands of the public servants who handle government contracts, and turned it over to the political fixers in the Prime Minister's Office. They shoveled money out the door. There was no oversight, no accountability to Parliament, no competition for contracts, and in some instances no reports of how the money had been spent. Anyone with connections in the Liberal party had a chance to get on the sponsorship teat. Fast forward to 2009. The Conservatives are in office and there is another national crisis.  The Conservatives, like governments everywhere, are desperate to stimulate the economy, get credit flowing again, save failing enterprises and create jobs. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is asking Parliament to authorize his government to spend $3 billion by the end of June in short-term stimulus. He wants to operate without oversight by circumventing the normal approval process that is designed to weed out schemes that can't pass the smell test. The $3 billion would be in a special Treasury Board fund that the politicians - the cabinet - would disperse among departments. Parliament would not be told where the money was going until after it was spent. Doesn't this sound like the sponsorship program, magnified 10 times - from $322 million to $3 billion? Once again, we have a government that is so eager to spend money to address a crisis that it is not going to lose any sleep if some of the money is wasted or goes astray. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said as much the other day when he warned that the Tories' fast-track disbursement was bound to produce some foul-ups in the allocation of funds. He's right, of course. The Liberals call the stimulus fund a "blank cheque" and the New Democrats label it a "slush fund." They claim that 70 per cent of the infrastructure grants currently being disbursed under another program, the Building Canada fund, are going to Conservative ridings. Prime Minister Harper is not taking any of this nonsense from mere opposition politicians. He went out to Vancouver the other day to rattle his sabres. The man never seems to learn. "We are not going to mess around with this," Harper said, ". . . If the opposition doesn't like it, they will find themselves in an election." Let's get real. The Conservatives have dropped in popular support since last October's election; today they are in a statistical tie with Michael Ignatieff's Liberals - and Ignatieff is not a man who can be bullied the way Harper bullied his predecessor, Stéphane Dion. If the Conservatives are defeated when their $3 billion package comes to a parliamentary vote on March 26, Harper will have himself and his foolish hardball tactics to blame."  geoffstevens@sympatico.ca. http://news.guelphmercury.com/Opinions/article/447184   &lt;br /&gt;"Harper's $3 billion fund needs oversight    Feb 28, 2009 04:30 A M   James  Travers OTTAWA Stephen Harper says he's ready to fight an election over a Conservative  slush fund. Michael Ignatieff should call the bluff. What the Prime Minister is proposing would create irresistible political  temptations, won't effectively stimulate the economy and is dangerous to  democracy. Apart from stirring sponsorship scandal memories, the plan for  cabinet to distribute $3 billion behind closed doors is an acid test for  public accountability. If Harper has his way, Parliament's defining  responsibility to control public spending will be further diminished even as  executive powers again expand. "Trust me" is not a credible proposition from a prime minister who broke his  word and law to force the fall election. Suspending fiscal oversight is not  a reassuring response to a leader who ignored available evidence to campaign  on the assurance that Canada would escape recession and as recently as  November forecast surpluses. It's no more prudent for taxpayers to leave politicians alone with buckets  of cash than it's wise for parents to leave children alone with the cookie  jar. One leads as predictably to abuse as the other to sugar fits.  So why run the risk? Urgency is the answer. A government that resisted  boosting the economy three months ago is now so determined to flush money  out the door it's ready to short-circuit safeguards. Mad-rush spending is suddenly so essential that Harper is threatening the  fifth election in just nine years - if he isn't given extraordinary freedom.  The logic is bizarre. In this crisis, $3 billion is chump change and won't provide instant relief  for a $1.5 trillion economy. If the justification is a stretch, the election  bravado is a leap. Another campaign would delay the economic rescue package  by many months and almost certainly for too long to ease the financial pain. At least Harper, unlike Jean Chrétien, is announcing the fund while  confirming the obvious: mistakes will be made. Even if pre-emptive damage  control, that's a step forward. Still, the national comfort level should be  pegged on skeptical. Conservatives have a shoddy record of spreading infrastructure millions  where they will have most impact on party fortunes. Just as worrying, this  government is quietly kneecapping the independent office it noisily created  to "bring truth to budgeting" and now want off Ottawa's twisted money trail. Revealing in itself, the ugly fight with budget officer Kevin Page is rich   with implications for accountability and the slush fund. Twice Page has  embarrassed the government in the year since his position was created. First  he revealed the rising costs of the Afghanistan mission at a sensitive  moment in the last campaign. Then he projected deficits just days before  Finance Minister Jim Flaherty wrongly predicted surpluses. No surprise, the  government wants no repeats. It will try to control information about the $3  billion fund, leaving the bad news to some future, post-election auditor  general report. If the Prime Minister has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear.   http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/594542 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is an excellent idea for the public to have access to follow the money  trail of Government spending. All levels of Government should have this  accounting practice in place. I believe it was Obama who first mentioned the  idea of a websight.  "&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF..

I said the same thing in writing to the federal government, health ministers the last 2 decades too. In reality even Ten Nurses  cannot replace a decent doctor, never mind the health food quacks, liars now as well… nor can the internet if you are serious ill.. I had 4  separate major illness that no one was able to diagnose without a proper medical test. A friend of mine who ran a health food store totally misdiagnosed the ailments as well to prescribe tones of expensive unneeded  products.. nurses ate the emergency clinics were at to diagnose my problems as well.. My problems included gland problems, diabetes, blocked arteries, kidney stones.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to a doctor the second best thing I discovered was a dietician.. Many Hospital  delays are unessential, they are mere bureaucratic ploys, blackmail  to get more money, raises, funding.. they are still very poorly managed. The Health Council now claims that contrary to popular belief, aging and population growth are not the major causes of increased health care spending. Instead, Canadians are using the system more than ever. PART OF THE REASONS IS THAT THE TOO OFTEN CHARGE CARD HAPPY DOCTORS ARE NOT DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.. when many patients have to have repeat visits even visits to other doctors to get a second opinion this clearly show we can we improve the system without cutbacks or service reductions. Just cause a Doctor has a medicinal degree it still even does not mean all doctors are similarly competent now as well. "We can account for how money is spent, but not, in any precise way, for what it achieves," We must figure out a way to make our money go further without compromising the quality of care Canadians have come to expect and need. To do that we for sure do need to have better Hospital, medical  supervisors for a start.  About the political Health Council of Canada. It was created by the 2003 First Ministers' Accord on Health Care Renewal, The Health Council of Canada is mandated to monitor and report on the progress of health care renewal in Canada. The Councillors were appointed by the participating provinces, territories and the Government of Canada which does not honestly disclose it's full agenda..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Hospitals play waiting game Toronto Sun -    QUEEN'S PARK BUREAU CHIEF Hospital statistics released by the province yesterday confirm what patients have long claimed: They're spending far too long in emergency rooms.&lt;br /&gt;City ER patients wait longer London Free Press&lt;br /&gt;ER waits longer than average Peterborough Examiner&lt;br /&gt;Windsor Star - Globe and Mail - Metro Canada - Ottawa - LondonTopic.ca&lt;br /&gt;all 79 news articles »   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Council wants Canadians to express views on health-care system&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CBC.ca -  A new website is asking Canadians for their input on how to get more bang from the bucks spent on the health-care system.

For when something is defective with one of their computer operating systems, they finally, eventually do  issue the supposed corrections, but they also mainly do call it a new package and even next charge me more for it..  wow, what a rip off, a real high way robbery… and 5 times now at least too. How many times can we get ripped off and be silent about it now too?  Secondly I am really getting tired of all that false really big let downs due to the false, misleading MS  advertising system on how their  newer operating system will be even be much better than the old one.  And what ever happened to all of the past great expectations for MS Dos, OS2, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, all of them now too it seems next gone the way of the dinosaurs.  In reality also I know that millions of computer users still using Windows 98, and and are still happy to continue to use Windows XP as well,  especially when you have had to seriously upgrade firstly your computer system to be able to firstly even use the new Windows Vista. While Windows Vista was improved after SP1 was released, but what still plagues the software-is it's bloat and resource-intensiveness, to just name a few issues-is present even after Service Pack 1. Many persons thus  would rather use XP than Vista, since it's more reliable, it doesn't require a new, powerful computer to run, and forgoes the beauty for usability. Vista clearly too rightfully hasn't performed nearly as well as Microsoft has advertised to us all and thus many businesses are loath to switch to it, for sure adding to the  strained MS relationships with businesses.  Many people now do need a new computer. Badly  too. But they are seriously willing to wait? and wait for what? More reasonable pricing and a reasonably effective Windows operating system.  They thus now are  unwilling to buy a new computer today. And now for certainty  there's a single major factor that's forcing them to to wait: and it is  the advertised Windows 7. Now while Macs, iMac and the  MacBook are trusty companions many persons still do  want to get into the real world of Windows, computer usage.   And some now  they say that Windows 7 isn't just an outstanding operating system that provides an ideal positive experience, but it's also a great alternative to Mac OS X. WOW? And  Windows 7, on the other hand, also finally blends beauty with usability and that makes it even supposedly superior over Windows Vista, that is  until they find some new undiscovered bugs and MS again have to issue a new service package  too? Anyway for now why buy something like Windows Vista that really now doesn't offer both when next its successor Windows 7 will? And it looks like  Windows 7 will be released even in 2009. So  how much sense would it really make for anyone  to buy Vista? Sure, many persons, businesses   they  do need a new faster computer now and it would be nice to have one soon, so  I too don't see any reason to buy one packed with an operating system that will be made also  obsolete in a matter of months. It doesn't make any sense. Some persons also do say Windows 7 will be remembered as one of the greatest operating systems Microsoft has ever released. But they said that about many of the previous operating system now as well.. So do not get rid of your XP yet… I too will have no problem holding off from getting Windows 7 .  I'm willing to wait.  As per others  Moving beyond Vista,  Microsoft says it aims to make a much different first impression with Windows 7 than it did with Vista, its oft-maligned predecessor.    And the  Windows 7 buzz may thus severely stall Windows Vista sales for all that now supposedly happy Windows 7 talk has made it harder to convince many, many  businesses to move to Windows Vista.  A tour through the beta of Windows 7 might  makes a favorable impression. But that too isn't' good enough.. We need to fully test it as well..   Let's also now next hope Microsoft does right by its existing Vista customers on pricing something Microsoft botched up on Windows Vista as well. But that is unlikely too..  &lt;br /&gt;Distasteful drinks, repulsive photos and unfair financial treatment all evoked the same primitive response in their experiments - the unmistakable grimace of disgust. "People feel it very strongly and viscerally," says Hanah Chapman, lead author of the study published today in the journal Science. It suggests revulsion to unfair financial dealings - be it overpayment of executives or brokers peddling toxic mortgages (or crooked cops, bad doctors, crooked realtors, lying accountants, bad pastors or priests, bad RCMP too, bad politicians , bad civil and public servants, child molesters, lawyers) - taps into powerful and primitive emotions more commonly associated with cockroaches, filth and disease.  The idea that immoral behaviour "leaves a bad taste in your mouth" is more than just a metaphor, say psychologists at the University of Toronto, who have shown that immorality triggers the same primitive reactions that helped early humans avoid poison and infection Http://www.canada.com/life/behaviour+leaves+taste/1336270/story.html       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Do see the related posts:  The whole truth comes out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/pictures-say-it-all/&lt;br /&gt;copy to news editors&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32296879-3831210014066602762?l=thenonconformer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/3831210014066602762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/3831210014066602762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2009/03/continued.html' title='Continued'/><author><name>paul kambulow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12775071324776228777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32296879.post-7528991028967741077</id><published>2008-12-28T09:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-29T21:59:13.350-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='syblings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rivalrly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='violence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abused'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abuse'/><title type='text'>coping with the bad</title><content type='html'>Did you know that sibling rivalry, abuse is one of the most common forms of family violence? Siblings will use physical violence because they have learned it from their parents, a bad mother or a bad father,  or other adults. In fact, one study found that 76% of the children who were repeatedly abused by their parents also abused their siblings.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Everyone  needs to set boundaries on what is acceptable behavior. No verbal abuses, no bullying, no lying, no foul languages, no hitting or other violence should be allowed. Another step parents can take to prevent abuse between siblings is to model their own respectful behavior in your family. Children learn how to interact with others by observing them. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Do a check-up on your family and others  this week:&lt;br /&gt;     Do you treat your children. others respectfully?&lt;br /&gt;     Do your children treat each other respectfully?&lt;br /&gt;     Are your children hitting each other when conflicts occur?&lt;br /&gt;     Do you have Home, office, internet rules in place for acceptable behavior?&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;You may need to call a family meeting to work out problem-solving strategies before rough housing turns to abuse, unacceptable violence&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;http://unlforfamilies.unl.edu/ &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt; Info on Sibling rivalry, young offenders, gangs, mafia, war&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;(Psalm 133:1 KJV)  Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Sibling rivalry is a type of sinful, selfish competition or animosity among brothers and sisters, blood-related or not..  the sibling bond is often complicated and is influenced by factors such as parental treatment, birth order, personality, and people and experiences outside the family. Sibling rivalry is particularly intense when children are very close in age and of the same gender, or where one child is intellectually gifted, or one child has received or attains  a bigger inheritance, earning, position, status in life. Adolescents fight for the same reasons younger children fight,  Fighting with siblings as a way to get attention, power  may increase in adolescence. Events even such as a strained marriage may  drive them seriously  apart. Sibling Rivalry in the Bible - sample cases: Cain and Abel, Esau and Jacob, and Joseph and his brothers., Leah and Rachel, and today's counterpart is the conflicts between the Arabs and the Jews, gangs, Mafia&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;(Prov 15:1 KJV)  A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Sibling rivalry, war is the jealousy, competition and fighting between the unloving and/or  unloved brothers and sisters firstly, and with others next too.  It is a concern for almost all parents of two or more kids. Problems often start right after the birth of the second child.  Sibling rivalry usually continues throughout childhood and even adulthood, it can be very embarrassing, frustrating and stressful to parents.  There some things parents can do to help their young kids get along better and work through conflicts in positive ways and  help you keep the peace at your house. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Sibling rivalry, war  is as old as the children of Adam and Eve and is too often recorded now as a sin in the Bible as well that has negative consequences on the persons involved and even others.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;The real sad part is that many adults play also this false game still too.. Conquer and destroy!&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt; Sibling rivalry can also be caused by proximity in age. Research suggests that siblings that are within two years’ age of one another tend to have more sibling rivalry than other siblings.  Ultimately, sibling rivalry is often caused not only by by blocked goals but by  poor personal communication skills, bad or extreme values,  just like almost any other sorts of adult conflicts and wars&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;There are many factors that contribute to sibling rivalry:&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;-Past and present neglect of the siblings by the parents will top it all.. there are overarching sorts of factors and events that can be, ultimately, the root causes of any sibling rivalry. Knowing what these important factors and events are can help you to not only understand the causes of sibling rivalry, but to deal with sibling rivalry more effectively when it does occur. Some of the most common causes of sibling rivalry tends to be jealousy or selfishness.&lt;br /&gt;-Each child, person  is mostly competing to define who they are as an individual.  As they discover who they are, they try to find their own talents, activities, and interests.  They want to show that they are separate from their siblings.&lt;br /&gt;-Rejected Children, Adults too  feel they are getting unequal amounts of your attention, discipline, and responsiveness.&lt;br /&gt;-Children often may feel their relationship with their parents is threatened by the arrival of a new baby. &lt;br /&gt;-A  children’s and an Adult's developmental stages affect how well they can share your attention and get along with one another. &lt;br /&gt;-Children and adults  who are hungry, bored or tired, nervous, stressed out  are more likely to start fights.&lt;br /&gt;- Too many Children, adults too  do not know positive ways to get attention from their brother or sister, so they pick fights. &lt;br /&gt;- Family dynamics play a serious role here as well when one of the parent  neglect one of their children, or shows a false favoring, partiality,. We are reminded this happened in the biblical account of Joseph and his brothers due to his new coat of many colors,&lt;br /&gt;- Children, adults  will fight more with each other in families where there is no set bounders, understanding that their fighting is not an acceptable way to resolve conflicts. &lt;br /&gt;- All Families that don’t share enjoyable times together will probably have more family conflict next exasperated by a jealous immoral, insecure, poor self esteem  spouse(s)  of the siblings now too&lt;br /&gt;- Unresolved Stress, poor health  in the parent’s lives will often  decrease the amount of still need attention parents give the children and thus increase the sibling rivalry. &lt;br /&gt;- Stress in the  children’s lives will next  shorten their fuses, and create more conflict, cause significant home, community  and even health problems as well&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;So how the good and bad parents do now still treat their kids, children and how they do now react to conflict will  make a big difference in how well siblings get along.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The degree of existence of sibling rivalry, young offenders, gangs  tends to show how good of a parent, manager, administrator now you really were, are.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;"as many as 53 out of every 100 children abuse a brother or sister, higher than the percentage of adults who abuse their children or their spouse. What some kids do to their brother or sister inside the family would be called assault outside the family. As parents, we may be tempted to ignore fighting and quarrelling between children. We may view these activities as a normal part of growing up. We say, "Kids will be kids" or "They'll grow out of it."   However, thousands of adult survivors of sibling abuse tell of the far-reaching negative effects that such unchecked behavior has had on them as children and adults. Children often abuse a brother or sister, usually younger than themselves, to gain power and control. One explanation for this is that the abusive child (generally with a poor self esteem) feels powerless, neglected and insecure. He or she may feel strong only in relation to a sibling being powerless. The feeling of power children experience when they mistreat a brother or sister often reinforces their decision to repeat the abuse "  http://www.sasian.org/papers/rivabuse.htm &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;What about Bullying?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When any verbal remarks becomes hurtful, unkind to others, and too constant, it now has crossed the line of acceptance, decency and it does needs to stop, to be corrected. Bullying is intentional tormenting in physical, verbal, or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, shoving, name-calling, threats, and mocking to extorting money and one's possessions. Some persons  bully by shunning others and spreading false rumors about them. Others use email, chat rooms, instant messages, social networking websites, and text messages to taunt others or try hurt their feelings.  It's important to take bullying seriously for effects can be serious and affect ones' sense of self-worth and future relationships. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as school shootings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why Do some persons Bully? They  bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they bully because they need a victim  to try to falsely, selfishly, sinfully   make themselves feel more important, popular, or in control. Often they do bully, torment others because that's the way they've been treated in the past too. They even may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry, shouts, or calls others names.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Take it seriously also if you even  hear that the bullying will get worse if the bully finds out that your child has  told others. Many states have bullying laws and policies.   if you have serious concerns about your child's safety, you may need to contact legal authorities. Do not hesitate to expose it too. Verbal abuse  unstopped, unchecked unrestrained often next turns to physical abuse, wrongful violence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why Do They even  Hate Each Other? In this society, too many people have the false expectation that they will love others and thus next will get along well with everyone, even in  in their family, Church, community, work. They always expect to feel positive toward their parents, brothers, sisters, spouse and children. This is unrealistic  Most people, themselves however, have at least some times when they don't feel very loving toward   others. Some persons are even born  really bad, or have become really bad persons now too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relationships often can be are close, both emotionally and physically, and thus even very intense.  Because they are   closer at home, communities, church too, the related  members have a greater power than anyone else to make other members feel angry, sad, confused -- and loving. This is as true for children and adolescents as it is for adults. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mat 18:1 KJV)  At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?&lt;br /&gt;2  And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,&lt;br /&gt;3  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.&lt;br /&gt;4  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.&lt;br /&gt;5  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.&lt;br /&gt;6  But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.&lt;br /&gt;7  Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!&lt;br /&gt;8  Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.&lt;br /&gt;9  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.&lt;br /&gt;10  Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.&lt;br /&gt;11  For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Forced submissions by adults, particularly in the church, or elsewhere, can often rightfully be taken as bullying, enslavement and is still unacceptable too.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Why do we hear of the Russian Mafia, and the Asian Gangs now more increasing, because their parents have neglected them while they were busy trying to get rich, richer.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;(James 4:1 KJV)  From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?&lt;br /&gt;2  Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.&lt;br /&gt;3  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.&lt;br /&gt;4  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.&lt;br /&gt;5  Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?&lt;br /&gt;6  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.&lt;br /&gt;7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.&lt;br /&gt;8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.&lt;br /&gt;9  Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.&lt;br /&gt;10  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.&lt;br /&gt;11  Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.&lt;br /&gt;12  There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?&lt;br /&gt;13  Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:&lt;br /&gt;14  Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.&lt;br /&gt;15  For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.&lt;br /&gt;16  But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.&lt;br /&gt;17  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.&lt;br /&gt;5:1  Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.&lt;br /&gt;2  Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.&lt;br /&gt;3  Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;(Prov 22:6 KJV)  Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;.- Train your children firstly in the right way.. neglect any of them and everyone next will pay the negative price..&lt;br /&gt;- Tell them that being self centered, selfish, concerned only about their own needs, desires is still an unacceptable sin, negative approach.&lt;br /&gt;- Don’t play favorites or refuse to forgive, do not take sides as well. Your children need to learn that you will do your best to meet each of their unique needs. &lt;br /&gt;- Never compare your children.  &lt;br /&gt;- Don’t typecast.  Let each child be who they are.  Don’t try to pigeonhole or label them&lt;br /&gt;- Set your kids up to cooperate rather than compete.&lt;br /&gt;- Teach your kids positive ways to get attention from each other.&lt;br /&gt;- Don’t yell or lecture.  It really won’t help at all..&lt;br /&gt;- Listen—really listen—to how your children feel about what’s going on in the family. and next also act upon it positively. They seek the parent's help first often,  They may not be so demanding if they know you at least care how they feel. "When parents falsely unwisely crash, jump into sibling spats, they often protect one child (usually the younger sibling) against the other (usually the older one).  This escalates the conflict, because the older child resents the younger, and the younger feels that they can get away with more since the parent is “on their side.”  "&lt;br /&gt;- Celebrate your children’s differences, positive aspects and not mainly their negatives.&lt;br /&gt;- Let each child know they are still unique and special— accept them, you love and care for them, just for whom they are.&lt;br /&gt;- Encourage win-win negotiations, where each side gains something.&lt;br /&gt;- If you are constantly angry at your kids, no wonder they are angry at each other!  Anger feeds on itself.  Learn to manage your anger, so you can teach your children how to manage theirs. &lt;br /&gt;- learn, Teach conflict resolution skills during calm times.&lt;br /&gt;- Personally Model good conflict resolution skills for your kids.  &lt;br /&gt;- Try to Involve your children in setting ground rules. &lt;br /&gt;- Enforced Ground rules, with clear and consistent consequences for breaking them, can help prevent many squabbles.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Siblings often do fight for a number of reasons:&lt;br /&gt;-They fight because they want a parent's or other person's attention, especially where the parent has only so much time, attention and patience to give.&lt;br /&gt;-They fight because they are selfish, jealous: "He got a new bike. I didn't. They must love him more than they love me."&lt;br /&gt;-They even fight over ordinary teasing which is a way of testing the effects of behavior and words on another person: "He called me..." "But she called me...first."&lt;br /&gt;-They fight because they are growing up in a competitive, aggressive, self centered, worldly, dog eat dog,   society that falsely teaches them that to get it, to win is to be better than to be the loser. "I saw it first." "I beat you to the water." &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Lessons about jealousy, competition, sharing and kindness are difficult to learn, and, indeed, even many adults still still haven't learned them. Too many adolescent may not recognize, admit still  their needs or may be too embarrassed to express them verbally, so their ongoing fighting with siblings is a way to get their needs,  personal  attention which often next  actually increase in adolescence life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Parent's Checklist&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a parent, do you:&lt;br /&gt;-Set aside some time to be alone with each child?&lt;br /&gt;-Recognize that each child is different?&lt;br /&gt;-Make sure your adolescents realize they are each unique and have a special set of strengths?&lt;br /&gt;-Praise adolescents for being who they are and not just for what they can do?&lt;br /&gt;-Avoid initiating competition among children?&lt;br /&gt;-Realize adolescents and younger children need to be given the right also to decide not to share at least some of the time?&lt;br /&gt;-Be sure older children are not usually forced to give in to younger ones because "he's little" or "she doesn't know better?"&lt;br /&gt;-Talk positively to the adolescents about their fighting?&lt;br /&gt;-Falsely encourage, promote the sibling fighting?&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;So the still mostly useless Albertan Prime Minister Stephen Harper and federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson MP want to get tough on the young offenders, instead of on the parents, show to us all how ignorantly they are and very poor parents now too.. They clearly themselves firstly need to be educated. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Resolving the Conflicts requires still anger management too and  :&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Admitting, recognizing the stress issue.&lt;br /&gt;Effectively dealing with the issue in a positive manner... For the matters left on their own to be resolved   tend to get worse and not better&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The instinctive, natural way it seems is merely to immediacy, feel anger, to  express our anger and to to respond  immediately aggressively as well.. not much self control obvious.. as opposed to a planed, deliberate, calculated, thought our approach. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When you are angry, you probably feel:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;muscle tension&lt;br /&gt;accelerated heartbeat&lt;br /&gt;a "knot" or "butterflies" in your stomach&lt;br /&gt;changes in your breathing&lt;br /&gt;trembling&lt;br /&gt;goose bumps&lt;br /&gt;flushed in the face&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;You can reduce the rush of adrenaline that's responsible for your heart beating faster, your voice sounding louder, and your fists clenching if you:&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Take a few slow, deep breaths and concentrate on your breathing.&lt;br /&gt;Imagine yourself at a better place, the beach, by a lake, or anywhere that makes you feel calm and peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;Try other thoughts or actions that have helped you relax in the past.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;"Calm down."&lt;br /&gt;"I don't need to prove myself."&lt;br /&gt;"I'm not going to let him/her get to me."&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;This often Aggressive Anger is a  response to  our perceived threats; it inspires powerful, often visible  feelings and behaviors. But we can't physically lash out at every person or object that irritates or annoys us; laws, social norms, and for most of us our own common sense places valid limits on how far our anger can take us.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Stop. Consider the consequences. Think before you act. Try to find positive or neutral explanations for what that person did that provoked you.  Learn to recognize what sets you off and how anger feels to you. Learn to think through the benefits of controlling your anger and the consequences of losing control. Control your own  behavior, don't let anger control you.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Identify the problem, problem behavior. Isolate it from the emotions associated with it and evaluate it.  How often does it happen and how long can  it go on?  What is the purpose of the behavior? If it tears down another person, it is abusive.  If you suspect abuse, it's important to act quickly to stop it. Do not hesitate to bring it into the open, to expose it next to all for what it really is, unacceptable abuse. Get enough fact and feeling information to assess the problem accurately. Restate the problem to make sure you understand it clearly. Figure out alternative solutions to the problem. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;We face a choice  to deal with their angry feelings  such as expressing our anger, suppressing our outrage, and submissiveness, calming Ourselves, controlling our outward behavior, but also controlling our internal responses, taking steps to lower our heart rate, calm yourself down, and letting  the emotional feelings subside. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Assertiveness is expressing our anger in love ,without hurting others. Being assertive here doesn't mean being pushy or demanding; it means being respectful of yourself and others. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Anger turned inward may cause next  hypertension, high blood pressure,  a self pity complex, or depression.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;" Unexpressed specific anger can create other problems. It can lead to pathological expressions of anger, such as passive-aggressive behavior (getting back at people indirectly, without telling them why, rather than confronting them head-on) or a personality that seems perpetually cynical and hostile. People who are constantly putting others down, criticizing everything, and making cynical comments haven't learned how to constructively express their anger. Not surprisingly, they aren't likely to have many successful relationships. "&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Anger management  reducing  both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't always get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions, and express, act in a positive manner, for the good of all.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;It's best to find out what it is that triggers your anger, and then to develop strategies to deal with and to keep those triggers from tipping you over the edge.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Remind yourself that merely getting angry is not going to fix anything, that it won't make you feel better (and may actually make you feel worse). You need to focus on the problem and deal with it effectively;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Logic defeats anger, because anger, even when it's justified, can quickly become irrational. So use cold hard logic, Such as " you're just experiencing some of the rough spots of daily life. Normal  people tend expect : fairness, appreciation, agreement, willingness, congenital agreements. The first best attitude to bring to such a problem situation, then, is not to focus on solely now finding the solution, but rather firstly on how you handle and face the problem. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Set ground rules to prevent emotional abuse, and stick to them. For example, make it clear you will not put up with name-calling, teasing, belittling, intimidating,   provoking, cheating, lying, stealing, bullying, physical abuses, intimidations and you will firmly deal with it too. Living with bad, fighting adolescent siblings is not pleasant. Clearly show all of the  adolescents the cost of fighting is higher than the falsely expected reward. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Next  tell of the trouble makers, bad adolescents that while it's normal to have disagreements, the constant fighting upsets you  and you  value peace at home. You also can  can say they will no longer be the judge and jury over the siblings', adolescents  disputes, wars  and you merely will not stand for it, put up with it and stand by the resolution with firm action!&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Timing: use a controlled, well thought out  response to Control the event on your own time, and don't merely be hastily suckered into facing, dealing with it unprepared. Also now do Give yourself a regular break from the conflicts, stressful situations. Make sure always too you have some "personal time" scheduled for times of the day, the place  that you know are particularly stressful.  One's Problems and responsibilities can weigh on you and make you feel angry at the set "trap" you seem again to have fallen into and all the people and things that form that trap. Sometimes it's our unavoidable immediate surroundings that give us continual, ongoing, unavoidable  cause for irritation and fury. If need be do next Remove yourself permanently from the environment, for your own good health firstly . One does not have to put with with these mostly false conflicts forever. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Set clear consequences for broken rules.  What will happen if they break the rules? For example, one husband told his wife he would no longer spoil his wife, indulge in all of her false whims, desires, abuses, but next would not merely give her two  alternative choices beforehand, one would lead to a reward, one whole lead to negative personal consequences for her.  Choice one - resolve the conflicts peacefully, amiably.  Or if she continued to cause false problems, fighting he would merely fire her, terminate the relationship, divorce the marriage. He next  was forced to take the second alternative.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"I agree, that this is a horrible situation and not a marriage - get out before you are seriously hurt. I also don’t believe in an eye for an eye and certainly not hurting anyone. I never believe that violence is the answer to anything. Notwithstanding  she shouldn’t ever abuse you, verbally or physically. She is not stable at all, forget on trying next to figure out why as well, as she needs professional help.  No one needs to stay in an abusive relationship.  This woman is really terrible and with no self control . If you don’t know how to set and enforce your boundaries, please do get help here. You do deserve much better than an abusing wife with mental issues.  I also suspect that she is well aware of her actions. She is conniving and manipulating you too - and  why would you even consider crawling back to her? She is treating you this way because you  have wrongfully  enabled her to do so. .I too  not saying that it is your fault, but I am saying that there are true bad persons, about 30 percent of all persons,  now still  in the world who can sense other people's weakness from a mile way and they try to capitalize on that vulnerability through abuse. How does she deserve you? Why in the first place do you even  think you deserve to be treated this way? Surely you know by now that she really does does not make a good wife? You really are essentially rewarding her shocking behavior by putting up with her bad acts.  You truly can’t change her behavior but you can now change yours. NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE LIKE, HOW SINCERE YOU ARE TOO, ONE  never does not deserve to have to live like this, to have to put up with living with an emotional/physical  and/or alcoholic  abuser, bad spouse, even a clear control freak too. You first do need to keep yourself safe now, next from this woman and when you  do  leave do not  go back.  You really can’t force, make your wife stop her bad acts, so you need to decide whether you want to try to unlikely  salvage the marital relationship at all. If you do, you need to tell her that you will only stay in the marriage is if she gets treatment for her abusive nature . And also only  if she never does it again. That means no abuse at all, none - the emotional as well as the physical abuse. The  sole likley serious option now is just to call it quits. There’s nothing wrong with this option. Not everyone deserves another chance. She may not, does . If your wife doesn’t accept that she has a problem and isn’t willing to accept help, you do have to get a separation and also now  put everything out in the open, even  in courts, so you can actually get your life back..  She is merely reaping what she has sowed. Leave her and let her sort herself out. It is unlikely she ever will too.  Protect yourself, look after yourself anyway. After finding myself in a similar situation, I left.  Since then, things have never been better.  I met my ex wife 6 months later, and she immediately said to me, I udenerstand that your are happier living without me,  and I replied that no thanks to her that was true. 30 years later it is still true too."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;" In today’s society it is assumed that men are the physical abusers of women and in cases of emotional and/or physical abuse of men it is seen that the man has instigated this so the woman has simply retaliated to abuse of the man and the man is still held accountable.  Unfortunately, as with so many relationship or child issues the woman is more readily believed and the man more readily blamed. I’m a woman in my 40’s and have been through the family court system over the past 10 years and I have seen a lot of what happens in these cases from both the man and the woman’s point of view. " men and women are equal sinners."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"I’d like to wrongfully say “beat the sh*t out of her”, but fortunately you wouldn’t get away with it. Instead, do everyone a good service,  just toss her out, she’s an abusive parasite and doesn’t deserve any husband. "&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;"One father reported that every time a fight started, he would say to his adolescents, "You're fighting. I'm leaving." And then he would go out to work in the yard or take a drive or run an errand -- but he simply walked away from the fighting. A mother used a similar tactic. When the fighting began, she said, "Call me when it's over." Then she went to her bedroom, slamming the door to emphasize her point. Another parent made his adolescents leave the house when they began fighting. "&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;In each of these cases, the parents, adolescents  demonstrated that their ongoing fighting would not get their attention and they would not get involved in the fight. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Do not hesitate to Remove yourself  from the problem behavioral  person, or remove the root cause of the problem child , adult&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The angered people tend to jump to-and act on-conclusions, and some of those conclusions can be very inaccurate. The first thing to do if you're in a heated discussion is slow down and think through your responses. Don't say the first thing that comes into your head, but slow down and think carefully about what you want to say. At the same time, listen carefully to what the other person is saying and take your time before answering.  Listen, too, to what is underlying cause of your  anger. It's natural to get defensive when you're criticized, but don't fight back. Instead, listen to what's underlying the words: the message that this person might feel neglected and unloved. It may take a lot of patient questioning on your part, and it may require some breathing space, but don't let your anger-or a partner's-let a discussion spin out of control. Keeping your cool can keep the situation from becoming a disastrous one. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Instead of doing nothing, which postpones the inevitable anyway. Seek, get sound advice, the valid  opinion of others too. Make a plan, and check your progress along the way. Resolve to give it your best, but also not to punish yourself if an answer doesn't come right away. If you can approach the conflicts, fight  it with your best intentions and efforts and make a serious attempt to face it head-on, you will be less likely to lose patience and fall into all-or-nothing thinking, even if the problem does not get solved right away. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Remember, you can't eliminate anger-and it wouldn't be a good idea if you could. In spite of all your efforts, things will happen that will cause you anger; and sometimes it will be justifiable anger. Life will be filled with frustration, pain, loss, and the unpredictable actions of others. You can't change that; but you can change the way you let such events affect you. Controlling effectively your angry responses can keep them from making you even more unhappy in the long run. &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Negative Results of unchecked Sibling Rivalry or Sibling Abuse : Thousands of adult survivors of sibling abuse can readily tell of the far-reaching negative effects that such unchecked behavior has had on them as children and even as adults. For instance, one person, reflecting back on their relationship with   a brother wrote: "I believed EVERYTHING my brother told me. Even if it was lies to make himself look better.  Children and adults often still do wrongfully abuse a brother or sister  to falsely try to  gain power and control. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Hey it is just classical psychology   that If you notice the following warning signs in a person  over a period of time, the potential for increased unacceptable physical  violence by them next also exists:&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;a history of aggressive, abnormal, offensive behavior&lt;br /&gt;serious drug or alcohol abuse&lt;br /&gt;gang membership or strong desire to be accepted by the gang, to be in a gang&lt;br /&gt;threatening others regularly&lt;br /&gt;trouble controlling feelings like anger&lt;br /&gt;withdrawal from good friends and from the normal, usual, acceptable  activities&lt;br /&gt;visibly feeling rejected or alone&lt;br /&gt;having been a victim of bullying, or now being a bully themselves&lt;br /&gt;poor school or job performance&lt;br /&gt;history of discipline problems or frequent run-ins with authority&lt;br /&gt;feeling constantly disrespected&lt;br /&gt;failing to acknowledge the feelings  rights of others&lt;br /&gt;or failing to acknowledge  the abuse of others&lt;br /&gt;access to or fascination with weapons, especially guns&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;When you recognize these unacceptable future increased violence warning signs in someone else deal with it.   Hoping that someone else will deal with the situation is still false way out.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Be safe. Don't spend time alone with people who show any of these warning signs and  remove the person from the situation that's setting them off.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The most important thing to remember is don't go it alone. Expose the matter to others as well.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Even verbal abuse left unchecked, unrestrained next tends to escalate and leads to real, unacceptable physical abuses.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;11 Tips for Coping with Personal unresolved Stress&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;God grant me the serenity&lt;br /&gt;to accept the things I cannot change;&lt;br /&gt;courage to change the things I can;&lt;br /&gt;and wisdom to know the difference&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,&lt;br /&gt;Where there is hatred, let me sow love;&lt;br /&gt;where there is injury, pardon;&lt;br /&gt;where there is doubt, faith;&lt;br /&gt;where there is despair, hope;&lt;br /&gt;where there is darkness, light;&lt;br /&gt;where there is sadness, joy; &lt;br /&gt;O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;&lt;br /&gt;to be understood as to understand;&lt;br /&gt;to be loved as to love. &lt;br /&gt;For it is in giving that we receive;&lt;br /&gt;it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;&lt;br /&gt;and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The prayers of Saint Francis of Assisi&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;1. First Concentrate on the present.   You cannot change the past, but you can work on having a better future &lt;br /&gt;Don't needlessly, continually  dwell on the past or worry about a future you cannot control. Have a positive and not a a negative, defeatist attitude now as well&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;2. Consider, Admit and deal with  your  past, present  problems one at a time.  First personally define, Write down those things that Bother you, do Number them, and do decide what you can and cannot do abut  them too . Prioritize as well Decide which ones are still important and which ones are no longer important to deal with.&lt;br /&gt;If there are lots of items  you want to change, start by focusing on one or two of the most bothersome or dangerous ones. Don't try to make too many changes all at once. Don't merely lump your complaints,  problems together, it can make them seem overwhelming.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Remember&lt;br /&gt;Anger and aggression are different. Anger is a temporary emotional state caused by frustration; while aggression is often an attempt to hurt a person or to destroy property.&lt;br /&gt;Anger and aggression do not have to be dirty words. We must be careful to tell the difference between behavior that indicates emotional problems and behavior that is normal. Convert aggression to assertiveness, actions done in love as well.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;3. Take positive action.  Do review all of your options, such as writing a letter of complaint to the right party, in detail reporting the matter so you do not have to have it repeated on you.&lt;br /&gt;Make sure you have realistic expectations, goals, approaches too. Once you've decided what you want to do about a problem, act consistently quickly ,  firmly and follow up on it too.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;4. Don't   merely complain about your problems . Continually complaining is wasteful, and seriously for a stat don't expect only others alone to resolve them, deal with them yourself .&lt;br /&gt;Talk things over with your family and good friends. Look for the positive, possible, practical  solutions.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;5. Occupy yourself and your mind.  Determine what you can and cannot do, how much time you should spend on it, also do go on with your life &lt;br /&gt;Social interaction, alternative activities can help during a time of stress by not continually focusing on the problem&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;6. Don't just blame the other people for your problems and their failure at  Resolving them - be an active part of the solution yourself if need be &lt;br /&gt;Frustrated hostility will accomplish nothing and can only make and feel worse.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;7. Exercise every day.&lt;br /&gt;Go for a walk and concentrate on your surroundings instead of  just on your problems.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;8. Maintain a daily routine. even if you are unemployed, retired, but do not get into a continual rut as well&lt;br /&gt;I have often helped many a poor, depressed person, not by any medications, but by  simply by changing their daily normal activity routine, and next by taking them for a drive into the country, or taking them to see a good film, a comedy, or Giving them some good movies to watch, or by me taking them to a fine food restaurant, or by me taking them for a long  walk through unfamiliar surroundings.. and it worked.. it actually next had broke them out of their long term depression.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Can't change positively   the person? try first changing their surroundings, environment temporarily?&lt;br /&gt;A familiar pattern of  daily activates can decrease stress and increase your sense of security. Be willing to make a change once a while as well.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;9. Avoid taking your problems to bed. Try to forgive and forget.&lt;br /&gt;Clear your mind of the days thoughts so you can get a good night sleep.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;10. Talk to your adequate health care provider, helper. Pick and choose, for remember there are still good and bad professionals.&lt;br /&gt;She/he can help you find the right agency or person(s) to assist you in coping with stress. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;With God on your side you will always be a winner&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;St. Francis of Assisi's prayer in praise of God &lt;br /&gt;You are holy, Lord, the only God,&lt;br /&gt;and Your deeds are wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;You are strong.&lt;br /&gt;You are great.&lt;br /&gt;You are the Most High.&lt;br /&gt;You are Almighty.&lt;br /&gt;You, Holy Father are King of heaven and earth.&lt;br /&gt;You are Three and One, Lord God, all Good.&lt;br /&gt;You are Good, all Good, supreme Good,&lt;br /&gt;Lord God, living and true.&lt;br /&gt;You are love. You are wisdom.&lt;br /&gt;You are humility. You are endurance.&lt;br /&gt;You are rest. You are peace.&lt;br /&gt;You are joy and gladness.&lt;br /&gt;You are justice and moderation.&lt;br /&gt;You are all our riches, and You suffice for us.&lt;br /&gt;You are beauty.&lt;br /&gt;You are gentleness.&lt;br /&gt;You are our protector.&lt;br /&gt;You are our guardian and defender.&lt;br /&gt;You are our courage.

Public exposure and prosecution of the guilty serves everyone's best interest. I too had learned decades ago that the pen is mightier than the sword of the crooks, bullies, pretenders, imposters. Starting at the top is always the best way now too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey I admit it I hate crooks, the bad guys&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I dislike the bad cops and Bad RCMP in Canada&lt;br /&gt;- I dislike all bad Professionals, bad civil and public servants and their too often poor managers now too&lt;br /&gt;- I really dislike Bad Politicians, especially ex PM Paul Martin, Stephen Harper&lt;br /&gt;- I dislike rightfully bad Pastors, and all alcoholics now too&lt;br /&gt;- I have always disliked bad, crooked computer dealers too..&lt;br /&gt;- I really also dislike Bell Canada rightfully as well and the CRTC..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We still do need real accountability, and the real beefing up of the enforcements, regulations against the much too many con artists liars, thieves, crooks, imposters, pretenders. being basically motivated by greed, increasing the profits. Bait and switch,  Misleading advertising, Unfair and Restrictive business trade practices seem to be a common thing in the Internet Service Providers  industry too, especially since generally the ISP are unregulated both by the Courts and the governments. It is a sad reality that even what is advertised is also next what the customer next consistently gets. "  The first biggest unacceptable bad culprits still who need to be fired ASAP are those rather toothless, pretentious, federal and provincial consumer Ministers and their mostly bad subordinates. Healthy Competition was supposedly a good way to decrease  the prices and increase the services, but instead we get price fixings, unfair and restrictive trade practices.. which still all reminds me of the bad immoral Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper trying to murder all of the opposition  out of existence too.. for he himself is no better as a leader, example of ethics, morality too. We do need still  a new real,  tougher cop on the beat. to strengthen all business, financial regulatory agencies and crack down on runaway "greed and scheming" , to really clean up the worlds of politics , finance, business and really  help to put in help put in place new, common-sense rules of the road that will protect investors, consumers and our entire economy from fraud and manipulation by an irresponsible few caused also by a  lack of "adult supervision" and  managers not being    as aggressive as they should in properly managing subordinates, others. Conservative  and Liberal governments administration's laissez-faire philosophy is also  allowing excessive risk and corruption at the highest echelons and also by too many people with a false disdain for regulation. We need more activist regulatory approaches,  no-nonsense regulators. Too many of these crooks are still governed by a mentality governed by the principle that, "whatever is good for me, I do."  Behave Honourable or you will be fired, terminated message  needs to be to apply to a range of social, physical, financial, governmental  institutions -- and to individuals across right across the board. A real  restoration of a sense of responsibility, personal accountability  and the notions of  advocating beneficial values not just for ourselves, but what's good for the others, the country as a whole, operating in reality out of a sense of what is being done is for the common good , Our too often poor Regulators do unacceptably "drop the ball," and have failed to crack down on the bad culture of greed and scheming, to take seriously their own responsibility to "operate honourably.  The CRTC also itself has not put much of a dent in fraud, abuses,  and the entire system needs an overhaul. The CRTC also has missed too many red flags in its oversight of it's duties, responsibilities..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly you cannot trust too often crooked Bell or the CRTC . Why is Bell allowed to control stuff that isn’t theirs?  “ However I do have a problem with wholesalers, customers not being able to use the full speed of a network. After all, they pay for the full speed when getting it from the phone companies. They should get the full speed.  ”  Bell’s known poor acts, actions deserve all kinds of vilification.  What a completely asinine company Bell is. I will never, ever deal with them again. Worst company I’ve ever encountered, what stupid business practices. ” Bell’s actions too often are still motivated by a desire to undermine competition  and increase their customer base seems too often as well to lose more customers.. “Bell and Rogers caused a lot of the problem themselves, with selling so called “unlimited” packages, only to find new applications use more bandwidth than they have available ot had deployed. “&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“It is not just about the price too,   Bell can be real jerks to its customers. I used to be one until I got sick of their lack of customer service, etc., and even having 2 provides Bell and Rogers/local cable provider essentially in Ontario will NOT decrease prices. Look at the current cell-phone market as an indirect example of how low competition keeps prices high. ” ” and are they Bell and the others going to put unadvertised cap on how much we could download because basically the can to meet their advertised speeds due to their bolster, too often inadequate support structures, equipment too..” Bottom line is that when it comes to telecommunications and especially high speed internet, no one can be trusted, for  the fact is that ISP   - Cable, Telco etc - on their own will not invest in faster networks and bigger coverage areas because of the costs, and the main Corporate desire not to offer a service but a false desire  to make maximum profits with a minimum of capital investment. Services will evolve but at a slower pace until competitors are forced to invest in their own infrastrucuture.&lt;br /&gt;Basically motivated by greed, increasing the profits. Bait and switch,  Misleading advertising, Unfair and Restrictive business trade practices seem to be a common thing in the Internet Service Providers  industry too, especially since generally the ISP are unregulated both by the Courts and the governments. It is a sad reality that even what is advertised is also next what the customer next consistently gets. “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on Thursday issued a decision ordering Canada’s big phone companies, including Bell, Telus Corp., MTS Allstream Inc., SaskTel and Bell Aliant, to offer the same internet speeds to smaller wholesale customers as they themselves sell on a retail basis.” Service speed is an important competitive attribute, with rates differing significantly by speed and speed often being a major differentiation point from a marketing standpoint,” the CRTC ruled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under existing CRTC regulations, the big phone companies are required to rent out their networks to smaller service providers, who then sell internet access to their own customers. The rules boost the number of competitors selling internet access to the public, and thus keep prices down and service levels up. The regulations, however, have only applied to older infrastructure based in phone companies’ centralized office buildings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, phone companies have been pushing their networks out of those buildings by putting new equipment into streetside cabinets in an effort to boost their customers’ internet speeds. Smaller internet service providers haven’t had regulated access to those cabinets, however, which means they have been limited to selling slower speeds than those offered by the big phone companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Quebec, for example, Bell has been selling internet connections with download speeds around 16 megabits per second while small ISPs have topped out at less than half that. The phone companies will only be required to offer faster speeds to wholesale ISPs when they sell them on a retail basis in a given area. Smaller ISPs will therefore have to request the faster connections from the phone companies. Bell, Telus and the others have 45 days to file with the CRTC the proposed rates they intend to charge the small ISPs for faster services. The rates will have to represent the actual cost of the service, plus “a reasonable mark-up,” the regulator said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..the CRTC launched a larger inquiry into how much control large network owners such as Bell, Telus, Rogers Communications Inc. and Shaw Communications Inc., should have over the internet connections they sell to customers.” http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/12/12/tech-crtc.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; “The CRTC has had a “cosy” relationship with Bell for as long as I can remember. It is obvious it continues. Short of replacing all the Commissioners with officials elected by net users this will never change. Time for a “revolution” IMO.” “ I really wonder who we have in charge of the CRTC. I would prefer a 13 year old nerd that has the slightest clue about the new hype of the Internet, ” &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;“ Net neutrality is one of the most significant “sleeper” issues that will confront the people of Canada over the next decade. Just as we have demanded regulation for our road traffic and public utilities, we will demand fair access to our data services and even to each other.  “&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;“Indeed, it is important not to lose sight of how much has changed in the past year. In the fall of 2007, net neutrality was viewed as a fringe issue in Canada without much political traction. In the span of 12 months, there has been a major CRTC case, the Angus bill, a rally on Parliament Hill, a more vocal business community supporting net neutrality and a gradual shift of this issue into the political mainstream. “  http://www.thestar.com/sciencetech/article/542156  http://www.neutrality.ca/ &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt; Telecom dinosaurs are like the Big Three auto makers… act now to avoid more future tax funded bailouts..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Four BCE directors to step down from telecom board, including chairman MONTREAL — The chairman of Bell Canada (TSX:BCE) and three other directors plan to step down from telecom giant's board early next year, following the collapse of the $52 billion takeover by private equity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Richard Currie, who was president of Loblaws parent company, George Weston Ltd., is expected to be replaced by Thomas O'Neill at the company's next shareholders' meeting in February.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The move was widely expected since the failure of the proposed privatization of Bell Canada by a consortium led by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also exiting the board are Judith Maxwell, John McArthur and Robert Pozen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 71-year-old Currie was elected BCE chairman in April 2002.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O'Neill has served on several committees since joining the board in 2003.

Predicable, cyclic  Bust takes still Alberta by surprise  today ? " There's a tiny park in downtown Calgary that is a stark reminder of everything that went wrong in Alberta after the boom of the 1980s and seems to be happening all over again.  The park is right next to the Bank of Montreal's 41-storey office tower. It was supposed to be the site of a second tower that was cancelled when the bank realized the boom was over and it wouldn't need all those offices in Western Canada after all. Twenty years later, the price of oil and gas has nosedived again and major projects are about to be cancelled or capped.  Just last week, developers of what is slated to be the tallest building in Western Canada declared that they need $1.1 billion to keep the project going. There is already a square-block hole in the ground and a forest of girders and cranes on-site in the heart of downtown Calgary, but the future home of EnCana Corporation is desperately trying to arrange construction financing in a tight credit market.  Building permits on five other large projects are set to expire because of inactivity. In some cases, the city has had to seal empty construction pits because the developers have pulled the plug.  You would think that in a city, and a province, that has experienced more than a few booms and busts over the past 80 years some sort of common sense would have evolved about how to thrive over the long term in such an economy. But it seems both the private sector and the government are easily blinded by their wishful thinking: this boom will last forever and the money will keep rolling in, they keep telling themselves and everyone else. But it never does. So in the same week that the city's largest construction project was revealed to be in trouble, the finance minister and the premier announced more bad news. The provincial treasury's projected surplus for 2008-2009 dwindled from $8.5 billion to $2 billion because of declining oil and gas prices and will likely dwindle even further. Plans for new roads, schools and hospitals are now on hold.  Premier Ed Stelmach also revealed that he is deferring a new royalty regime – which was have to added more than $1.4 billion a year to provincial coffers – because it's simply the wrong time to increase taxes and risk a further slowdown of the petroleum industry.  No doubt he wishes former premier Ralph Klein had increased royalties years ago when the industry was awash in profits. None of this would really matter if the provincial government had actually prepared for the bust during the boom by saving some of its billions of dollars in bounty.  But it didn't. Instead it spent billions on infrastructure when the cost of labour and materials was skyrocketing; at one point it issued $400 cheques to every man, woman and child in Alberta, a $1.4 billion giveaway; and it cut taxes or kept them low. Alberta still has The Heritage Savings Trust Fund established by former premier Peter Lougheed but it is only worth $15.8 billion. Norway, by contrast, has managed to squirrel away $350 billion since 1991. Stephen Harper's Conservatives have also managed to whittle away billion dollar surpluses. Perhaps they also thought the boom would last forever. Or perhaps all those Alberta Conservatives simply forgot about the famous bumper sticker from the 1980s that read: "Please God, let there be another oil boom. I promise not to piss it away this time."  " http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/541627&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;So "The Prime Minister's Office says it's imposing restrictions on the size of ministerial entourages on trips outside Ottawa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PMO spokesman Kory Teneycke says the number of political aides allowed to travel with a minister will be limited to two. And he says the government is considering a plan to encourage public servants to fly economy class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The measures come amid sky high travel bills that some Conservative cabinet ministers have piled up since the Tories came to power in 2006. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, The Toronto Star is reporting that last year, then environment minister John Baird billed the taxpayers $61,000 in airfares to attend a climate change conference in Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tab included flights for himself, three political aides and two federal officials. (The Canadian Press, ccg)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Conservatives-CBC)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opposition parties say the Harper government is softening up the public for cuts to the CBC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the crashing economy and recent revelations about CBC executive spending, Liberals and New Democrats argue the government has already started to make its case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has mentioned the CBC's $1 billion-dollar annual federal subsidy -- and has floated the idea of selling federal assets to balance the budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heritage Minister James Moore sent a letter warning CBC executives to curb their spending in light of ``reported excess.''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the House of Commons this week, a Conservative backbencher accused the public broadcaster of ``irresponsible'' spending habits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NDP heritage critic Libby Davies says it all adds up to the government ``laying the groundwork'' for a whack at the CBC, a favourite Conservative whipping boy.

Such as the ISP, Internet service providers  obligations to their customers, contractual agreements, On top of that there is no question that many major Internet corporations profit have also  been built on the back of free labor, the free contributors. Which they tend to no longer appreciated and restrict falsely access to many of these sites now instead. Ever discover that while the main search engines will readily give you a list of sites, that you may next have difficulties accessing many of these sites next ands why is that? The access and the speed aren't too bad but still only during  certain, limited  portions of day  or night.  Such internet  traffic management is really really unacceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I too have discovered often that while I personally do also have many blogs, internet sites, next my own accessibility to these sites is it seems unnecessary  restricted, difficult, and one of the main valid explanations as many of us already do know is the false periodic unacceptable capping, throttling, access restrictions,   by the ISP, internet Service Suppliers themselves. I too now do  have no sympathy for almost any of  ISPs. They firstly do still to often lie lie to get customers and next when they get them they cannot honor, keep their original promises, promised speeds and capacities  It's one thing to gouge us all with continual increase rates but not to keep also same promised original service. No, no, no. ISPs are not only raising their rates but still also decreasing their services and the quality of it as well..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; For if they were to invest in newer, better infrastructure to raise capacity, they would even get more customers. It's much, much cheaper to throttle torrent traffic or do nothing than it is to expand the overused, obsolete infrastructure.  If even Microsoft, corporations, companies &amp; governments are distributing more and more  content through the internet then all of the ISPs have to keep up to date and increase their capacity in response. Other countries are embracing this, and have brighter economic futures &amp; control, profitability, consumer satisfactions  as well. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Time for just more of our complaining, talking  over and over again is done, rather real actions is required now even by the governments to protect the consumers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;72 percent of businesses say they would change ISP if their Internet connection became unreliable. The independent research carried out by Shape the Future Limited on behalf of Zen Internet, the award winning ISP, surveyed over a 1,000 Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) between September and October.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An important decisive factor for SMEs is the level of support provided by ISPs: 85 percent stated that the level of support was the most important criteria when choosing an ISP while the highest number of respondents, 80 per cent, considers UK based support to be very important. Some ISP providers have been criticised for taking telephone support overseas and cutting staffing costs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just over half of those asked, 55 per cent were happy with their current supplier and were unlikely to change, 45 percent are unhappy. and 68 per cent had not changed ISP in the last year but   13 per cent are considering changing ISP at present.  When they do, it's mainly when there are issues with reliability, quality of service, cost or for higher speeds. It was found that 72 per cent of SMEs said they would change provider because of unreliable connection, but note only 40 per cent would change to save money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;98 per cent of SMEs consider reliable Internet access to be critical to the needs of their business. 71 per cent of SMEs thought it was important that their ISP was business orientated, as 80 per cent use the Web to locate suppliers and 76 per cent use it for purchasing activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/153974/small_businesses_to_isps_deliver_or_well_switch.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         Deceptive, unfair, restrictive Business trade practices by the ISP's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A lawsuit filed against Apple and AT&amp;T on November 4, 2008 charging misrepresentation of the 3G speed of the iPhone on AT&amp;T's network, has also been amended with an additional charge. The new charge claims the iPhone develops hairline cracks in the housing. Filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, Avi Koschitzki claims in the amended charge that hairline cracks in the casing of the iPhone constitute unfair practices under the New York Deceptive Practices Act. Koschitzki said the cracks appear around the camera and near the volume button on the side of the iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The initial lawsuit claims that Apple and AT&amp;T misrepresented the speed of the iPhone on AT&amp;T's 3G network. The suit claims insufficient infrastructure of the network and the fact that so many phones have been sold that it can't handle the volume of phones trying to use it. "Due to the overloaded 3G network, it is quite common for iPhone users to only be on the 3G network for a few minutes before being bumped to the slower EDGE network despite being in geographical areas allegedly rich with 3G network coverage," reads the lawsuit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lawsuit is seeking a jury trial where they are asking for statutory, compensatory and punitive damages."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.pcworld.com/article/154018/apple_sued_for_hairline_cracks_in_the_iphone.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now we all can know that driving a sports car on an empty road produces a different sped from that when driving on the same road during peak traffic hours.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now this Mis-advertisement of the actual speeds attained  also reflects the common  problem we tend to  have also in Canada with the false, misleading advertising, trade practices by Bell, Rogers, Videotron in regard to the speeds of their iphone and DSL, ADSL, cable internet services. These Communication, ISP firms amongst others are known to inflate, advertise substantially higher speeds than the consumer will actual get next get on the average, and the  next related internet congestion cause web connectivity problems, and also reductions of the downloads speeds too.. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now what about having now the much need real consumer protections for the citizens of Canada here as well from the greedy, lying, no good corporations?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/ &lt;br /&gt;http://thenoncomformer.spaces.live.com/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32296879-5366798080881790806?l=thenonconformer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/5366798080881790806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/5366798080881790806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2008/11/straight-from-horses-mouth.html' title='Straight-from-the-horse&apos;s-mouth'/><author><name>paul kambulow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12775071324776228777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32296879.post-7286104395298257548</id><published>2008-11-01T08:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-11T14:47:48.699-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bell Sympatico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Acanac.

Caused by viruses, spyware, malware, faulty computer equipment, or corrupted software, even a faulty ISP services. So where do you start? Note and write down what the symptoms are firstly. Secondly start with the security software.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But do note that if you are having a continual problem with your computer, ISP,  web access, spyware, or whatever, and are looking for a quick, simple, easy fix, solution in 5 minutes.. you can generally go back to sleep and dream on.. first turn off the alarm buzzer as we&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So, what is a good virus protection to use?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Again… as we learn … that there is no one program that gives 100% protection against viruses and malwares.  ** Not all computer problems are caused by viruses and malware. But first and foremost, do immediately get some computer protection. This includes anti-virus software, anti-spyware software, a firewall, anti-bot software and overall malware protection. One other way to help prevent spyware and other unwanted software is to make sure all your software is updated often too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I am a pretty secure guy when it comes to using and maintaining my computer and so here are my  suggestions that I rely on  for a pretty trouble free computer   for my Windows PC  Keep your system up to date - visit www.windowsupdate.com to run a scan. It’ll step you through it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Get Windows defender - head to www.windowsdefender.com  to grab this. It’s free and is from Microsoft. It does a pretty decent job of preventing spyware from entering your machine. Also, I love it for the feature of removing programs that start when your computer starts up . . . &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Get an Anti Virus software - Certain anti-virus software could bog down your machine  However, I’m using Avast and it’s doing great, it's effective. And, best of all, it has a free version. Now,  to find from their website you head to www.download.com  and search for Avast &lt;br /&gt;On top of that since I found not one security software does everything still, periodically I also use the freeware Ad-Aware 2008 and/or  Spybot - Search &amp; Destroy  and they are easily obtained on the same site  www.download.com  and also do See all of the most popular downloads&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For anti-spyware I would recommend Ad-Aware 2008 or  Spybot - Search &amp; Destroy. Simple enough. Install and update although I wouldn’t recommend the extra features (teatimer and whatever the other one is) because they can get kind of annoying.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Also do take a look at Free: Comodo Internet Security Suite  Its main program window presents the three major defense components: Antivirus, Firewall, and Defense+. Configuration options are plentiful on all three. The virus scanner supports automatic updates, flexible scheduling, multiple scanning profiles, excluded directories and files, and detailed logging. As you’d expect, the firewall offers a myriad of rule and configuration options. Granting and revoking trust from applications, ports, and networks is a clear, simple process. Novice users will either want to leave the default settings alone or spend some time reading the detailed (and user-friendly) help files, as a couple of wrong clicks can quickly create networking headaches. An active connections screen is also available and it presents information similar to Sysinternals’ TCPview, providing insight as to which applications are transmitting or receiving data. To download CIS, please visit: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_cis.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I do urge you to update your operating systems, security software, updates  regularly, even at least every other day,  and do also perform virus &amp; spyware scans frequently. The question is not if you will get a virus or spyware, but rather when?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As for other security recommendations, download and do use Mozilla Firefox. It is a faster, more secure, and easier to use. I would also recommend installing addons called Ad Block Plus and Fasterfox.  Mozilla Firefox Install note: by default, some software  may or will install a toolbar and/or also change your home page. Pay attention to the install screens, and deselect them if you’re not interested.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Other notes:&lt;br /&gt;- GOM is  most favorite media player, cause it lets me readily access so many options too. GOM Media Player Play back video files in most of the popular video formats. http://www.gomlab.com/eng/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;-Resolving the Windows Update 0×8007043b Error.  Windows Update is a service provided by Microsoft for users of Microsoft Windows which provides updates for the operating system and its installed components is also not error proof,  sometimes things can go wrong and errors occur. This article on the Windows Update 0×8007043b Error should help you fix the problem:  http://www.updatexp.com/0×8007043b.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- A Windows “Updater” Alternative…  Microsoft sends out the monthly operating system updates and/or the updates for Microsoft Office (if you have it installed); Or if your computer crashes, you do a complete restore and now you have to download all of the updates all over again (very time consuming). Another scenario is that your Windows updates become corrupted and the updater is not working properly or one of the updates from Microsoft is basically dead in the water… Well there is a solution that may assist you in each of the scenarios. It is called “AutoPatcher“…  this is “techie” software and I  Really it is not that hard to do…   Description of AutoPatcher from the website: What is AutoPatcher? AutoPatcher could be described as an offline Windows Update. AutoPatcher provides an interface to a large collection of updates, common applications and registry tweaks, that can be easily and quickly applied to your computer system. What are the advantages of AutoPatcher over Windows Update? The main advantage is that you just have to do one download in order to have all the patches and add-ons, such as Sun Java, MSN Messenger 7.x and Windows Media Player 10. If you have many computers or if you format your computer frequently, it saves both time and bandwidth. With AutoPatcher, you can install critical patches offline,  You can also come in handy when updating a friends PC, if he/she can’t access the Internet (or uses a narrowband connection).  AutoPatcher – http://www.autopatcher.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And yes even the macs are very easy to hack. Just look at this list is known exploits http://www.milw0rm.com/platforms/osX&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- As for computer cleaning software I would recommend CCleaner.  CCleaner Clean up junk files and invalid Registry entries. Just click “Run cleaner” and “Scan registry for issues” (blue square) and that should clean out most of it. Also, running disk cleanup and disk defragmentor should speed up your computer significantly (Start &gt; All Programs &gt; Accessories &gt; System Tools). http://www.ccleaner.com/download&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;-  DriverMax  Extract and back up your Windows drivers and reinstall them easily after a new Windows setup.Now that you have some of the knowledge you need to know. Help others now too. Pass it on  http://www.drivermax.com/download.htm&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;-  uTorrent Download torrent files to your PC.  Be still wary of popular "free" music, free files and all of the free movie file-sharing programs, and be sure you clearly understand all of the software packaged associated with those programs. http://www.utorrent.com/download.php&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- Install two web  browsers at least, Internet explorer and Firefox,  and if you have web page connectivity problem check it with both of them first. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- But Do see More great software http://www.snapfiles.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- Plus avoid emails from people you don’t know.&lt;br /&gt;- Don’t just download stuff you really don’t know anything about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Avoid always going to risky sites (you can probably guess).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Make sure you use secure passwords. These should be 8+ characters, consisting of numbers, letters and alphanumeric characters. It should also be something more complicated than a name or nickname. And for a  few examples would be SkAl2134!$ or S0mT1Ng$%#.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Windows PC - Best Practices Here are some more basic tips on keeping your computing experience as trouble-free as possible.&lt;br /&gt;1.   Backup your files/information monthly at least&lt;br /&gt;2.   Use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer for web browsing&lt;br /&gt;3.   Use a reliable web based email like Gmail, so you have a backup of your emails online as well as onsite… you can set up POP access or access via web browser.&lt;br /&gt;4.   Don’t download software from unknown sites&lt;br /&gt;5.   Don’t use peer-to-peer software like   Limewire; if you must use them, remember: caveat emptor&lt;br /&gt;6.   Ensure MS Windows is updated&lt;br /&gt;7.   Ensure MS Office is updated if equipped&lt;br /&gt;8.   Ensure the Windows Firewall is enabled&lt;br /&gt;9.   Use a hardware firewall like a router if possible&lt;br /&gt;10.   Don’t leave a wireless network unsecured/unencrypted&lt;br /&gt;11.  Ensure antivirus software is installed and updated&lt;br /&gt;12.   Ensure antispyware software is installed, updated and run periodically&lt;br /&gt;13.  Defragment hard drive monthly&lt;br /&gt;14.  Disable unused/unnecessary programs from startup in MSCONFIG&lt;br /&gt;15.  Use Google Desktop Search for more efficient document retrieval and processing&lt;br /&gt;16.  Keep all software disks that came with the computer and any peripherals; especially any software installation keys&lt;br /&gt;17.  Don’t turn off your computer by unplugging it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  PC World's and other's quick fixes for your worst security nightmares that will happen likely if you do nothing about it..  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Follow all of these simple tips to reduce your own Computer vulnerability. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Hackers tend to  exploit  known security holes that many users haven't bothered to patch even by relying on the sad propensity of the millions of computer users who had failed   to do things they've been told over and over to do,, or done what they have been told not to do.. And you don't have to be a Computer Guru  to avoid these  common computer attacks either. Implement a few simple fixes, and for a start you'll avoid most  of the bad stuff out there.&lt;br /&gt;!: Do get and install adequate computer firewall protection immediately &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2: Did you listen to the so called experts, and  Have you wrongfully turned off the automatic updates for Windows and other programs on the rationale that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?" Dream on in reality tfor the still he unpatched  software gives hackers the perfect opportunity to do exploit still your computer by launching  a series of probes against your PC in search of just one unpatched  vulnerability that a probe can exploit. If it finds one, you really better hope your insteleld, adequate antivirus program catches the ensuing attack. Otherwise you likely won't even notice anything amiss as it infects your system until it is too late, and your computer slows down, acts funny  now instead. Hackers like to find the holes es in seemingly innocuous applications such as QuickTime and WinZip as well as in Windows and Internet Explorer or whatever. So do get and do turn on the  automatic update features for any and all software that offers  the service--it's your quickest and easiest option for getting patches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3: Fix all of the potentical security Holes now and Get the free software updater  http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/ at http://www.filehippo.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;4:  No browser, software  completely eliminates the risk of  being hacked, damages, but do regualry stay update with the updates .. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5:  Check your downloads at  http://www.virustotal.com/  Virustotal is a service that analyzes suspicious files and facilitates the quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware detected by antivirus engines. More information...You can  easily upload any file (up to 10MB) to the site and have it scanned by a whopping 35 different antivirus engines, including ones from Kaspersky,  McAfee, and Symantec. A report tells you what each engine thought about your  file.  the  lack of warnings doesn't guarantee a file is safe, but it does give you  pretty good odds. Use a good virsu chekcer Virus   to check every e-mail attachment and download you're not 100 percent sure about, and you'll likleyt avoid hcaker's induced catshrophes. Do also download the  free VirusTotal Uploader. Once you've installed the utility, just right-click a file, and you'll see an option (under Send To) to upload it to  the VirusTotal site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6: Rescue Your main mail Inbox From Spam. Use as well  disposable e-mail addresses. Such an address is something you create every time you encounter an online  shopping site, forum, or other service that requires you to enter an e-mail  address. If that address gets flooded with spam, you can terminate it.&lt;br /&gt;That's a better system than the alternative, creating a multiple of  free Web mail such as Gmail , Yahoo Web mail  and a good, free service is available from http://www.spamgourmet.com/ a service that's quick and easy to set up and use; it allows you to create disposable addresses on-the-fly that will forward e-mail messages to your regular address next.&lt;br /&gt;Fix 7: Develop an Antiphishing Habit  The best approach, and the most straightforward, is never to click a link in  any e-mail message to access your financial accounts. Instead, always type  the URL or use a bookmark. That one habit will protect you from almost every  phishing attack.&lt;br /&gt;Tthe latest version of Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Opera  they All have built-in  features to block known phishing sites ( Avoid Safari, which lacks&lt;br /&gt;any built-in antiphishing protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8: Make Your Passwords Secure--And Easy to Remember Use at least both letters and numbers for a start&lt;br /&gt;9: Do not hesitate to Get Extra Cleaning Help for Stubborn Infections.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Sometimes even the best antivirus program misses an infection. And once a  virus or Trojan horse gets in, removing it can be incredibly tough. If you  suspect some nasty got past your defenses, then it's time to bring in extra  help. Many antivirus makers offer free and easy online scans through your Web  browser.&lt;br /&gt;Trend Micro HouseCall: Will detect and remove malware; works with both IE&lt;br /&gt;and Firefox.&lt;br /&gt;BitDefender Online Scanner: Detects and removes malware; requires IE.&lt;br /&gt;Kaspersky Online Scanner: Detects malware, but doesn't remove it; works with&lt;br /&gt;IE and Firefox.&lt;br /&gt;F-Secure Online Virus Scanner: Detects and removes malware; requires IE.&lt;br /&gt;ESET Online Scanner: Detects and removes malware; requires IE.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Help yourself by now helping others too, pass this and other security tips to them as well.,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;** Quite often even if the ISP, Internet Service Provider lies to you and says the internet problems are solely on your computer it can be in fact be rather with the ISP itself, their  cable or phone lines still too. As too often is the case with Bell. But anyway next do also test your own computer also&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Here are some basic hardware troubleshooting steps:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;** Quite often even if the ISP, Internet Service Provider lies to you and says the internet problems are solely on your computer it can be in fact be rather with the ISP itself, their  cable or phone lines still too. As too often is the case with Bell. But anyway next do also test your own computer also&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Here are some basic hardware troubleshooting steps:&lt;br /&gt;Open the computer and run it open after cleaning out all dust bunnies. Be careful when you clean; use compressed air and be gentle. Observe all fans (overheating will cause system freezing and/or crashing). This includes the fan on your video card if you have one. Obviously you can't do this with a laptop, but you can hear if the fan is running and feel if the laptop is getting too hot. For a desktop, without touching anything, hold your hand close to the inside of the case and feel how hot things are getting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Test the RAM - I like Memtest 86+ from http://www.memtest.org . Obviously, you have to get the program from a working machine. You will either download the precompiled Windows binary to make a bootable floppy or the .iso to make a bootable CD. If you want to use the latter, you'll need to have third-party burning software on the machine where you download the file and burn as an image, not as data. In either case, boot with the media you made. The test will run immediately. Let the test run for an hour or two unless errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM. It is extremely important that you get RAM that is compatible with your motherboard (and the RAM already in the machine). Crucial Technology has a Memory Selection Tool on their website.&lt;br /&gt;Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility from the drive manufacturer. If you aren't sure what drive you have or can't find a utility for it, Seagate's SeaTools for DOScan test non-Seagate drives. Download the file and make a bootable floppy or CD with it. You need third-party burning software and to burn as an image, not as data. Boot with the media you created and do a thorough test. If the drive has physical errors, replace it. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The power supply may be going bad or be inadequate for the devices you have in the system. The adequacy issue doesn't really apply to a laptop, although of course the power supply can be faulty. For a desktop, test by swapping out the PSU for a known-working one. If you have one of the higher-end video cards that requires a separate power supply connector, make sure it is in place.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Test the motherboard with something like TuffTest from http://www.tufftest.com  or the Ultimate Boot CD. Sometimes this is useful, and sometimes it isn't.&lt;br /&gt;Testing hardware failures usually involved swapping out suspected parts with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a reliable professional computer repair shop. Check with others as to who is reliable and who is not first too.  . Have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.

Or else run your Junk Cleaner or CCleaner.&lt;br /&gt;In IE 7, click Tools &gt; Internet options &gt; Security &gt; Reset all zones to Default level&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;C- If still you find your IE7 giving problems, close it and run IE (No Add-ons)&lt;br /&gt;This opens up the browser without loading any add-ons, toolbars or plug-ins.&lt;br /&gt;If you find it running OK, then the problem is most probably caused by an add on.&lt;br /&gt;In such a case then you have two options :&lt;br /&gt;1) use the manage Add-ons tool, and disable each one after the other to find out which one is causing the problem.&lt;br /&gt;2) Else in Internet Options, go to Advanced Tab and click on Reset tab. Restart IE. This step deletes all temp files, disables any add-ons, plug-ins, toolbars and also resets all changed settings to default.

I researched the net, the customer's and community forums too,  on this and you should see all of the nothing but  crap I got so I merely contacted the real experts, not like those at Bell or Acanac now too, I contacted HP  and I got within a few hours their great solutions that next worked too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My disastrous conclusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still having problems  this evening even access my internet sites even and also to access my email. This morning at 10 am I saw 2 Bell trucks, and two employees  working at the closest   Bell telephone junction box about 100 yards from my home near my home, and I bluntly went and asked them if they were responsible for making my internet ineffective, but it appears they next did not solve my internet problems. Now do tell the Bell to fix the problem. I have often rightfully said it  that  what Bell fixes on one hand the other hand makes it worse next. Reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned long time ago just cause some one has a degree, a title, does not mean I have to believe his word, or believe that if he has a degree he has any  professional competency  now too. That includes all kind of professionals now too. My dad pay hundreds of dollars for a new set of glasses, and had to wait a month to get them, wore them for a month, and could not see.. when I went to see the optometrist he said he had done his best. Crap I said, my father did not pay him to do his best but only paid him to do professional job and I next demanded my father's full money back and we got it. We went immediately to another competitive optometrist next door and got a new pair of glasses at half the price in one hour and they worked well, my dad was happy.. so much for the so called professional.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So How come the access to my internet sites are not continually reliable? The internet, computer and the tech support services, are like one big jig saw puzzle, leave out some pieces and the puzzle is not pretty any more. I cannot believe it I have had 10 bell technicians come to fix my internet problems, and none of them seem to know how to use a computer, One Bell tech  had even asked me to give him some instructions on how to use his windows 98 laptop. One persons tells me to put it on, the other one next says take it off.. includes the local network connection  configuration setups&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://canadatoday9.multiply.com/journal/item/4/HOW_TO_DEAL_WITH_MAJOR_COMPLAINTS &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See also DEALING EFFECTIVELY with COMPUTER VIRUSES, Spyware, etc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/dealing-effectively-with-computer-viruses/"&gt;http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/dealing-effectively-with-computer-viruses/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Servicing computers, providing technical support is not an easy business, even the so called experts often get it wrong.. 2 years problem with a brand new computer remained unsolved and why? the experts looked for complex problems.. and it next finally turned out to be a defective 15 dollars  hard drive cable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently I had problems with my internet connection for a whole week, and I get different advice from the so called experts to last a life time too.. Trouble shooting problems with computers can be a complex undertaking caused by a very small unresolved problem even. A Bell technician showed up today at my home at 1:30 PM at Acanac's suggestion he reduced my internet, modem speed from 10 megs to 5 megs.. because he thinks the Acanac modem is the problem, it does not want to accept the 10 meg causing the recent past internet connectivity problem.. Somehow I doubted it .. there had to be other factors elsewhere?   Everything works great so far, web page connectivity and Utorrent download, so how can I complain,  and let's hope it lasts that way.. But I also suspect the peak line demands, cappings, and line balance is part of the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problems! These days 40 percent of Canadian Internet Customers are rightfully dissatisfied with the poor lies, support services from their internet suppliers, especialy the biggest ones, such as Bell, Videotron, Rogers, .&lt;/strong&gt; Why?&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;By law the internet is unregulated.. and these supposedly consumer protection agencies now still all they can do is a useless pretentious mediation approach and next it is useless because Bell plays dirty, hardball still.. court actions cannot be enforced.  And any experienced lawyer will tell you, you need to first in writing personally to  ask the specific bad people to repent first, to first give them a chance to do so, before you can next go public,  and try to  shame them into action, and still that is the sole approach than works.. for in reality the pretentious CRTC, Cops, consumer agencies do not really care about helping  the small fries.. they only care about themselves. So I practice what I preach to you as well.. I put it in writing  on the net too, it is an embarrassing approach but still  the only one that works..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is bad enough I had problems with my email, and Internet connectivity problems with my web explorer but on top of all that now I had been facing major bit torrent or Utorrent downloading problems, torrent slowdowns, download capping, fluctuating speeds, all obviously, undeniably  because of BELL'S poor, faulty services, connections?  Bell's real crappy internet services unacceptably been providing to me and what Next? . Beyond a shadow of a doubt those mostly bad guys still at Bell Sympatico internet services have the last 2 year and more as well continued to make negative changes to my home internet services that have next caused a serious deterioration of my 6 meg high speed internet services, and they have also now had falsely changed my profile it seems always for the worse, not better too,  for they had  not only capped my bit torrent downloads, but they had restarted my Bit torrent connections every 30 minutes on top of that, and that had been a real nuisance too.. And now when the internet services of theirs starts to malfunction it negatively it seriously affects both not only my Email services, or my Utorrent or Bit torrent services, but also my connectivity using internet explorer as well. So I have averaged now this last year only about one week a month were Bell's services have been adequate  If you want to be sure you have really crappy internet provider, service then do get Bell Sympatico.. and they can and will next also  lie to you and even  tell you that they are delivering 12 megs download speed services to you , when in fact it is only 1 or more megs. Bell all you are are mostly are still just incompetent persons and liars still.. Bell Sympatico is just a big liar clearly guilty of not keeping their advertising, promises, unacceptably guilty of false , misleading advertising too. For one year and nine months now I had been asking those liars at Bell Sympatico to keep their obligations, contract promises to me to deliver me a high speed internet system and they had failed to do so. Now why is it that every single month I had to test the speed of my Bell Sympatico Internet and next to find out that Bell Sympatico have again wrongfully reduced the speed again? I know from first hand experience, that Bell Sympatico is one of the world's biggest liars, for  even in July , Augusts, December of 2007 they had also again promised me a download speed of 6 megs, and next to compensate to me for their actual failure of not delivering the promised high speed the last many years as well they now  had also promised me a free 6 meg high speed internet for 6 months even in writing. Well they kept  the free part, BUT THEY NEXT TRIED TO BILL ME FOR IT ANYWAY, but they did not not KEEP the high speed internet part, or ESPECIALLY even the unlimited downloads promised too, even the last many months . I have monthly checked Bell Sympatico speeds and they have not come close to continually delivering me my  RELIABLE 6 megs high speed internet...and I, you lose INTERNET connectivity all the time. I had written to Bell 370 times every month IN the last year too about this, even on the net too.. If you want to be sure you have really bad internet provider, service try Bell Sympatico. Bell Sympatico have already mailed me 9 new modems too and you have send me 12 repair men too and I have talked to 6 bell expediters. Still the INTERNET problem is at their end, the Sympatico servers, where they make changes there to reduce my capacities monthly too. I have two brand new high speed computers too with large hard drives 250 and 350 megs respectively and I am using Windows XP and Vista, and they both get the same poor internet downloads. And Bell Sympatico continuously and stupidly asked me next  to upgrade to a higher speed when they Bell Sympatico cannot even firstly deliver the promised 6 megs and those same Bell Sympatico liars MAKE PROMISES THEY DO NOT KEEP OFTEN. All of their technical support is  pretentious, non existent..  Internet service provider Bell Canada has now also admitted to throttling traffic and slowing data transfers even for its third-party ISPs, Some customers are facing Net speed slowed down from 500 to 30 kilobytes per second. Bell's now too many unhappy customers are mad as hell about their false paid for but next unlawful denial of services and they are openly expressing it too on the net. The war against Bell has just began and Bell itself has more to lose, many many customers firstly... &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It used to be when consumers had the best Consumer protection services, but these days unacceptably it has become a pretentious one.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Computers have become a way of life for many so have the internet service providers and their support services..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;sadly the promised support services is seriously Defective from most corporations still and unacceptably why?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This has been true of Bell, Acanac and yes even Videotron, where the consumers, customers are not receiving what they have paid for and are being lied as to why.. here is a PARTIAL expose of it.. do expect a lot more from others next too about Videotron.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEXT I do not have to understand why, but anyway my job is to use the computer, but this afternoon, Nov 1, 2008, a week later too,  I now  have had no problem accessing all of my own personal web sites, receiving my email, or accessing Google news or yahoo news.. I personally the last few days have made no changes to my computer at all too, I merely had my afternoon sleep,  so now  do thank Bell whatever they did it works  and let us keep it that way too for  you never know with Bell in that my many past experiences is what the right hand does the left hand in Bell undoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kambulow  &lt;br /&gt;The non conformer&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac.con or Acanac.com is there really a basic difference? How can I now even tell? Why is it that Both Bell and Acanac do play dirty, if you complain next too  too much by email they put your mail on spam, if you complain too much on the phone they merely hung up, and if you complain too much on their customer's forum they do ban you from them. NOW What kind of dirty  suport service  is all of this? It is just more blackmail, false, bullying, lying, misleading advertisement on their part still too. Their bad managers go along with the cover up too. And you all can now by now know I  will not, I do not rightfully put up with it. And what about you?&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  Acanac.con or Acanac. com - High Speed Internet. Low Cost DSL and VOIP Service  Review community.acanac.com  - Forum  - Sales Information www.acanac.ca  - Internet Service Providers  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;I am unable in the last too many  days to access any  longer two of my own internet sites and even easily Acanac's own sites&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried it on 2 different browsers and 2 different computers too and it still did not work .. Firefox  and internet explorer..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blaming the customer for the problems too often is a poor Acanac  technical support approach&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac has falsely passed the Buck and had said that my ISP problems are supposedly related to my own computer, a virus, or the operating system, or the windows upgrades, or my security software or who knows what? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But I have tested the internet services with two 2 different computers, an XP and an Vista operating system and I had gotten the same problems.. Internet page access  problems .. thus so it is not the computer problem rather it   could be the Acanac modem or the connecting  Bell phone line.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac tech support services. Typical Very unprofessional support services&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about real consumer protections now too, here was some more examples  of the useless Acanac forum discussions&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Tech Ostriches blaming it on others Bell, Microsoft, any software, operating systems, me, my computer or whatever also still does not help at all.. nor does it indicate adequate Acanac technical, competent support.. The Acanac actual support is still disturbing, with their need for the emergency and dls support emails,   useless tech phone calls , useless  discussion board - seems all to be merely more buck passing.. and why too now even cannot it all be simplified..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In case you are not aware of it it seems the tech employees where new ones, just recently hired, there supposedly is a big employee turn around in this firm because of  their poor managers and it shows up in the customers services&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a problem with your ISP internet service provider you generally next will get  bad support services as the CBC television show  "Market Place" has confirmed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a problem with your ISP internet service provider   &lt;br /&gt;1: you can phone them.. and they can refuse to help you, even lie to you.&lt;br /&gt;2: you can email them, they will acknowledge the emails , but generally will not reply to them in detail&lt;br /&gt;3: you can contact their customer forum. too often useless and pretentious and if you complain loudly you will be banned form the forum likely&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the reality tech support department might next issue  a ticket Like Bell also does when you complain about a supposedly valid  internet problem.. now that ticket is only the tech support version of the  problem.. and the tech ticket it does not contain the customer's comments, complaints, email, for they are all deleted.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact it is sadly quite falsely common for Corporations such as Acanac, Bayer, Bell to cover up the truth, to close ranks, to try to suppress negative realties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not your ordinary persons to deal with , I am an experienced persons, I have worked as a professional engineer, contracts manager, Realtor, and also worked in 2 3 computer stores.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact the the management at Acanac also now had allowed their employees to lie, distort the facts, abuse customers is really unacceptable, as well as the moderators of the Acanac customer forums is also unacceptable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac my ISP supplier now has falsely to suppress the truth banned me from their Customer forum, &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;and Acanac my ISP supplier  had also taped all my past phone calls to them as they only now admit, done   without telling me beforehand now as well &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;and  I have no problem with it, I would like to have a copy of all of these invasion of my personal privacy tapes for my record..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; They Acanac my ISP supplier  now next  refuse to give it to me or to discuss any of this issues any further with me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Here is my recent post to them on their customer service web site too. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Acanac tech support now  have now said my problems sounds like virus, or who knows what, they had  said before it was the Microsoft upgrades, the operating system, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac my ISP supplier also have have refused to provide me with any related Acanac my ISP supplier customer support services, they do have not permission to talk about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well I do not need Acanac's permission to talk about it openly too.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Non Conformer&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kambulow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://community.acanac.com/acanac/ucp.php?i=pm&amp;mode=view&amp;p=24970&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2008/10/acanaccom-or-acanaaccon.html&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  PS Acanac You can close all the useless Acanac tickets, and just open one good one now  to fix the same ISP problems I have still had all this past week . Acanac and Bell why is it you still lie, abuse the customers, and why do you willfully think I have to put up  with it, and why do you think I work for you or have take abuse, or orders from you too? Public exposure and prosecution of the bad persons serves everyone's best interest, I merely openly, publically show too all the negative reality of dealing with you still too. Threatening to put my emails on spam will only make it worse for you.. I will not go away.. the whole world will read what you do still too. &lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;From: paul kambulow &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2008 12:16 PM&lt;br /&gt;To: Acanac Inc ( Soheil ) &lt;br /&gt;Subject: Re: [YKD-23145]: disastrous conclusion&lt;br /&gt;Bell  could not contact me while I was at home sending unwanted, unappreciated emails to Acanac, complaining Bell  had done nothing yet good too -  and Bell did not even verify by phone even as is the past common practice that some one was coming to me as well beforehand? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;and the previous time that the bell Manager had contacted me and I stayed home and no Bell guy had showed up,  as I detailed back in writing to Acanac was certainly not my fault too. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bell managers need to do a better supervision of Bell tech employees clearly, for they have lost control of them, and do not even know what they do, &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Major part of the problem with Bell is anyone can change my speed profile anytime  under the guise of improving their system, for their benefit and not mine.. any time they want too and often still do.. mostly they fix a problem and another one a short time later shows up instead.. wow.. not an effective way to run a telecommunications company &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You also still did not answer the questions I asked many times before in wring such as why do they have to come to my home in the first place. they fixed the problems before on their own, do they need my approval, they got it, or do they want my supervision? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Paul&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: Acanac Inc ( Soheil ) &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2008 10:35 AM&lt;br /&gt;To: pkambulow@hotmail.com &lt;br /&gt;Subject: [YKD-23145]: disastrous conclusion&lt;br /&gt;disastrous conclusion&lt;br /&gt;Hello,&lt;br /&gt;Please accept our apology for inconvinience, we are trying to resolve the issue but we were reported by Bell that your last repair ticket was closed due to they could not contact you on last Friday morning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway we will do our best possible to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

The Bell tech leaves and disconnect my internet. I email and also call Accanac back and they put a Bell class 2 priority and in 2 hours they reestablish my internet line. Everything  is working great again. And for how long? the circus just begun..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A whole week later next my internet speeds slow down and I start to have really new web access problem.. I contact Acanac and they said they are issuing a ticket and I was to stay home cause a Bell tech was coming the next day between 9 -12, Bell confirms it to me by Phone, I stayed home but he the Bell tech never came and there was no improvement on my Internet services.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So next I email and I  call back on Wednesday to Accanac who now issues a class 2 ticket and a Bell Teach is to show up again, no date or time is given. This time no Bell supervisor  phones me to even confirm a visit.. Now why was that??? really do tell me? or is this a mere Acanac pretence?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Very late Friday Afternoon after I  had been on the net morning, lunch time sending emails, 6 times to Acanac,  I next get an email  note from Acanac surprisingly too, the Bell tech had supposedly showed up, what day was that?  and I was not home.. not detail of the date or time was given me..  and who can I believe, trust even Bell or Accanac now here too that it had all even supposedly had happened? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For I this week see no real evidence that Acanac is seriously dealing with this even though now it is a week with the same problem sand why is  that? do tell us all..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  and Acanac now says  it has done it's job, like Pontus Polite,  whole it washes it hands in the affair, ticket closed, supposedly after all it was my fault supposedly that Bell had not fixed my bad ISP system , yes once again a drive by shooting, by that  too often common, lying Bell techs in my last 2 years experiences in dealing with them.

Bell techs merely checking only what speed they are supplying to  me alone is the answer as we all know by now.. my web pages access connectivity complaint, email access,  Putty software crashes, Tunelier continual disconects, utorrrents actual download speeds, my inability to acess my modem setup,   was the main  issues..  and you can see there only this week are many different issues   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and the poor system according to your own  your tech Jonathan  said it was caused by either the high nose in the phone line.. or the Bell profile card card not properly seated in the server,  or inadequate line balancing, where one line is shorter than the other.. and still none of that has anything to do with me or my home.. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;On top I personally  have spent the whole week testing my system, checking for spare, viruses, installing  5 separate security software, I  also had many times tested the same line with another XP computer separately as well.. I discussed the issues on Acanac forum now as well .. and got nothing in return so far&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now if Bell had actually modified the line today at their substations where the line balancing  problems are, they are not at my home for a start too,  it next would have showed up  on my Avast log  showing a "new connection", as this is what normally happens when thy do real repairs on my line.. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Please note that the main problem is not the speed test alone, and how many times do I have to point that out to you. .Re: [JEH-82060]: Slow web access&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For  the problem is the internet web page connectivity.. I cannot access the normal pages that I have been accessing the least 6 months adequately, they are slow, they do not open up. Now if you all had read my tickets reply you would all have known that.. it is even posted on my web site too..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;acanac &gt;&gt;Also please let us know if you have any direct contact number to inform Bell again. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Acanac this false buck passing is unacceptable.. and what do you mean by that.. Bell does not show upon and it is my fault.. I am at home., I am retired.. I have no work number. I have solely a home number.. you do not seem to be having problem in me reading and replying to your email on the same phone line.. and what my Bell telephone home  number now is also not working? I have no problem talking to the police, news reporters though with it. Now what about Acanac providing the real support service  promised to me?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now Acanac fix the problems instead of finding false excuse to close the ticket..

Contract law is based on the Latin phrase pacta sunt servanda (pacts must be kept). Anyone can enter into a contract, except minors, certain felons and people of unsound mind. It's important to know that not all contracts details even have to be in writing., for instance, certain agreements can also be made and accepted orallly and still be legally enforceable. While the contract agreement doesn't always have to be in writing, all the other elements of a valid contract still have to be met, included, , fulfilled by law. The bottom line is that the parties generally come to transactions in good faith, mutually trust and understanding, and not a one way approach, one way demands, one way relationship.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;All valid courts, will not enforce, accept as valid any contract to perform an accepted illegal act. A contract to kill some is invalid clearly too. A person who pays for bad drugs that aren't delivered can't next seek the help of a court or the police in getting the money back. Unbelievable some people still do try to do this too. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A valid contract also always requires the mutual parties' consent, which must be freely made, not forced consent, and clearly communicated to each other. Consent is not free when obtained through duress, menace, fraud, lies, undue influence or mistakes, serious errors were presented. Consent isn't mutual unless the parties agree on the same thing in the same sense, a clear "meeting of the minds. One party now presenting only their own their terms, conditions, without the other parties approval, consent, free will clearly is still not a valid contract. In order for an acceptance of an offer to be effective, it must be made while the sales, specific, fixed service offer is still open. Any person can changes the conditions of an initial offer in responding to the offer, the old offer is clearly now rejected and the changed conditions constitute a counteroffer and that now becomes part of of any subsequent agreed upon contract.&lt;br /&gt;I did that with Bell now too. Once there is next a final, written contract between the parties, the parol evidence rule forbids the introduction in a court proceeding of any previous agreements between the parties on the subject matter of the contract. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Only certain contracts aren't valid unless in writing. Generally, they do deal with real property, certain specific loans, debts, money exceeding a certain amount, or contracts concerning the sale of goods worth more than $500 or one that include objects that won't be performed within one year or within the promisor's lifetime. Bell now being unable to supply me a promised high speed internet but only a low speed one is still a good example of an invalid contract even if was a written one originally from Bell.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2: The Specific parties. The contract must always include, identify who the agreed upon specific parties are; usually names are sufficient, but sometimes addresses or titles may be used. Bell and the specific customer. Me in this case.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;3: The agreed upon object. The Offer, the thing, the value, the services being agreed to is also known as the object or subject and it itself not only must be lawful, possible but it must be a definite, fixed, measurable amount specially now even by the laws of Quebec too. For instance Bell promising to deliver a customer a 6 meg download high speed internet service, where they know they only have a 3 meg line capacity is not legal or legally binding contract. Bell promising to supply their" best services "or "up to 6 megs services" is not legal as well for it is is not really an agreed upon fixed object, rather the object is not definite and most customers have take that to mean 6 megs anyway. . The object of the contract does have to be very specific and measurable. It is Bell obligations now to to clerk up any ambiguity on the contract as agree upon by the comer now too. So if Bell promising a 6 megs internet services, and Bell by law next has to deliver 16 megs to meet their promise that is also now part of the contract too. A specified length of time, such as one year does not mean the contract is still valid if Bell has not lived up to the agreed upon previously contract terms.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;4: The outcome, or the considerations. All contracts require consideration, meaning each party must gain something fixed, tangible. It may also be something that is or isn't done or given. When a party agrees to do something (such as I will paint your house) or to not do something (I will not sell my house to anyone else for 30 days) they next also must gain something in return toy make this a valid contract, they must receive agreed upon fixed payment, a fixed reward. Generally, if I say I'll paint your house, and you haven't promised me anything in return, you can't sue me next for not showing up because I will not receive any consideration firstly". Once a contract has been created, it can be determined if there are any issues that call into question of its validity too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5: Termination of contracts. Breach of contract. Breach of contract is recognised by the law with applicable penalties now too. Contracts generally can only be terminated if mutually agree now by both parties as to what the terminations terms included. Parties to a contract may mutually agree to rescind the contract. In that case, the parties may agree on the duties and responsibilities of each party after the rescission. Bell still expecting me to pay for their internet when they do not keep their promises is a breach of the contract, an invalid demand of me. Now is the contract price set, are promised quantities specially determined, and is the time for performance clearly stated? There should be enough information contained in the contract always that, if needed, the courts likely next would be able to enforce the contract or determine the appropriate damages. Unless it is mutually agreed upon before any subsequent court demanded decision action, is taken. Fraud is the intentional misrepresentation of an important issue of the contract. The presence of fraud in a contractual proceeding makes the contract voidable by the party upon whom the fraud was perpetrated. The contract always still now binds both parties, and not just the customer to the terms, conditions of the contract agreed upon now as well. Once it is determined that there is a contract, it it still can, must be determined whether there are any defenses that call into question the validity of the contract.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bell Changing horses, making changes, additions to the contract in midstream is invalid, a breach, still not allowed, especially without the subsequent, and pre consent, approval of both parties now still too and is a breach of contract rather. That includes Bell capping of my bitt torent downloads too on my unlimitted download account. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yes a Bell contract also may end because of a breach by Bell. A breach occurs when a person, or a firm does not fulfill his or her, their responsibilities as promised in the contract. A breach may be minor or major. A major breach is one that does affect the subject matter of the contract and does affect the outcome of the contract. Bell not having sufficient equipment, capacity in place to meet my high speed internet, is a breach of contract. This is also known as a breach of a material issue. When there has been a breach in a contract, the question of damages is raised. The damages due to a party when there is a contract breach depend on many factors, including: which party breaches, and what damages were incurred. In most cases when an injury results from a contract breach, the injured party receives money damages. Such as I have in Dec 2007 from Bell. Bell itself has unacceptably cause now in the last 2 years many unacceptable breaches in our contract that I have clearly even in writing not accepted and have objected too and demand restitution of as well rightfully.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Go back to a good school firstly Bell, Acanac, Others now too  if you cannot understand and keep all of this now too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;PS: "In Real Estate specifically , there it is a requirement at Law that contracts be written down in usually lengthy legal forms to avoid uncertainty, ambiguity and to be binding . &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Contract acceptance, like the offer, must be given in clear terms. It must be a positive act. For instance, an offer cannot state “If I don’t hear from you, I will assume you have accepted”. Doing nothing will never be considered legal acceptance.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The rule at Law is that where an offer is required by statute to be in writing, then also the acceptance must be in writing in order for the offer to become a contract binding on both parties. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Even when all the foregoing essential elements exist, a contract can still be void, voidable or illegal. A void contract is one which is deemed at Law never to have existed. A voidable contract is slightly different: it exists until it is repudiated by one of the parties. An illegal contract is one which is made for an illegal purpose, and which is therefore always void. Examples of voidable contracts are the ones made when one of the parties is an infant, i.e. a minor or under the majority age. In this case the contract can be voided by the infant. Likewise, when one of the parties is legally insane, the contract is voidable. A special case is a contract stipulated when one of the parties is a limited company or corporation. Three questions must be first answered before the contract can be enforceable: 1) whether the corporation does in fact exist and 2) whether it has the capacity to enter into the contract and 3) whether the person signing on behalf of the corporation is, in fact, the authorized signatory. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If one of the parties makes a misrepresentation or if the contract contains an inherent mistake, the contract may still not be binding. A misrepresentation is, by definition, a statement which is false and which must have induced one of the parties to enter into the contract. A misrepresentation can be innocent, negligent or fraudulent and different remedies are available to the party suffering damages because of the nature of the misrepresentation. If the representation is innocent, the party can sue for rescission of the contract. In the case of negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation, the affected party can sue for damages as well. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Although misrepresentation requires a statement to be made, silence too can result in some form of misrepresentation by itself, affect the consent of the parties but will have similar consequences as misrepresentation. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Duress occurs when a person is forced to enter into the contract against his will. As a result, the Courts will find the contract voidable at his option. Undue influence, on the other hand, is more subtle. Like duress it results in one party losing his free will to contract out. However it occurs more frequently when a person is in a superior or dominant position in relation to another and uses this influential position to induce the other to enter into the contract. Again, if undue influence is found, the contract is voidable at the option of the innocent party. "&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;" The most common method used to resolve business contract disputes and enforce contracts (if informal resolution methods fail) is through lawsuits and the court system. If the amount at issue is below a certain dollar figure (usually $3,000 to $7,500 depending on the state), the parties may be able to use “small claims” court to resolve the issue. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Courts and formal lawsuits are not the only option for people and businesses involved in contract disputes. The parties can agree to have a mediator review a contract dispute. The parties are not bound by a mediator’s decision, but may be convinced to avoid a costly court battle by how the mediator rules The parties can also agree to binding arbitration of a contract dispute. In arbitration, a neutral party listens to the arguments from both sides and issues a decision that is binding on the parties. This is cheaper and less time-consuming than a court battle. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When attempting to enforce a contract, an individual or business should always consider the effect any dispute will have on any long-term business relationship between the parties involved. " Especially Bell Sympatico&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bell Sympatico needs also to learn "Despite precedents that show that contracts substantially favoring the party with the greater power often are deemed unconscionable (so unfair as to not be enforceable), lawyers stiff draft them and companies still like them. Lesson learned: Make deals that are balanced; contracts that distribute risks and responsibilities fairly. Such deals will be honored by courts and your businesses wealth and reputation will benefit over the long term.

The Acanac actual support is disturbing, with emergency and dls support emails, support, useless tech phone calls , discussion board - seems to be merely more buck passing.. and why too now even cannot it all be simplified..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still coming along trying to see why the internet page access , overall computer -internet performance is not as great as it was last week too. Acanac wants to do my modem check now..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to also to say every time Microsoft makes major upgrades , 2 this last week, I seem to be able to expect some kind of difficulties associated with it next &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always nice to hear from you.. and I appreciated all of your input too... will get back to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still having major internet page access both in Firefox, and in Internet Explorer, and so it cannot be the security software, for I have separately used 5 different ones now. It has to be something else besides the software &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.. a balanced view? everyone sees the iceberg from their own limited point of view, expertise, experience.. and is also why they differ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got an email asking me to contact Accanac by phone so they can tell me this by phone, not in writing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the undeniable crap I just Got from Glen at Acanac by phone, who says he is an expert, DSL reports show it, so now my web access problems are due to Microsoft updates, he cannot prove it, it is his expertise option, he does not have to support me, to help me to solve this problem.. he is not responsible for Acanac sending me solutions that did not work as well. So who will be responsible for all this crap this at Acanac? Me? Glen is no better than the bad Bell techs &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glen would not let me talk to his manager next, and he does not care a daxxm about what i post , write where to anyone about this, and now twice hangs up the phone.. does he and Acanac treat everyone that way now too?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now what about real support? now? &lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thanks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;why do we have to email others to get decent technical support from Acanac.&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;glenel   Post subject: Re: A new thread for the same olld Problems  Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 4:02 pm &lt;br /&gt;Joined: Wed Oct 29, 2008 3:52 pm&lt;br /&gt;Posts: 1  Isn't it nice how someone can safely diss you with a large crock of bulldust, when they are safely hidden at the far end of a computer connection?

None!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;do all note I still have the same problem that I have been posting to Acanac the last many days thanks to Acanac Glen hanging up on me.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if you cannot handle customers Glen then you do need to be fired ASAP..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would not want many people reading how you have behaved now here too if i were you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and do keep it up, the bad service you have more to lose over this, over what I have to lose, when you apply to another job they too will now know by now what you are like in dealing with customers... very unqualified..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kambulow Montreal Quebec.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: paul kambulow &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 4:05 PM&lt;br /&gt;To: victorial &lt;br /&gt;Subject: Re: [ZMJ-77651]: Slow web acess&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  I have been going back and forth to Acanac with emails and phone calls and no results still too for a few days.. &lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: victorial &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 3:52 PM&lt;br /&gt;To: pkambulow@hotmail.com &lt;br /&gt;Subject: [ZMJ-77651]: Slow web acess&lt;br /&gt;Slow web acess&lt;br /&gt;Dear paul,&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for being a valued customer of Acanac-Inc.&lt;br /&gt;Your original ticket ZSN-40511 was forwarded to our DSL Support Department as they will be able to assist you.&lt;br /&gt;If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.&lt;br /&gt;With Best Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Acanac-Inc Sales &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: paul kambulow &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 1:49 PM&lt;br /&gt;To: Acanac Support (Asieh) &lt;br /&gt;Cc: Acanac.com &lt;br /&gt;Subject: Re: [NFV-87439]: as posted on your forum&lt;br /&gt;viewtopic.php?f=8&amp;t=7035&amp;p=39994#p39994 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  I still coming along trying to see why the internet page access , overall computer -internet performance is not as great as it was last week too.

Caused by viruses, spyware, malware, faulty computer equipment, or corrupted software, even a faulty ISP services. So where do you start? Note and write down what the symptoms are firstly. Secondly start with the security software.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But do note that if you are having a continual problem with your computer, ISP,  web access, spyware, or whatever, and are looking for a quick, simple, easy fix, solution in 5 minutes.. you can generally go back to sleep and dream on.. first turn off the alarm buzzer as we&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So, what is a good virus protection to use?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Again… as we learn … that there is no one program that gives 100% protection against viruses and malwares.  ** Not all computer problems are caused by viruses and malware. But first and foremost, do immediately get some computer protection. This includes anti-virus software, anti-spyware software, a firewall, anti-bot software and overall malware protection. One other way to help prevent spyware and other unwanted software is to make sure all your software is updated often too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I am a pretty secure guy when it comes to using and maintaining my computer and so here are my  suggestions that I rely on  for a pretty trouble free computer   for my Windows PC  Keep your system up to date - visit www.windowsupdate.com to run a scan. It’ll step you through it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Get Windows defender - head to www.windowsdefender.com  to grab this. It’s free and is from Microsoft. It does a pretty decent job of preventing spyware from entering your machine. Also, I love it for the feature of removing programs that start when your computer starts up . . . &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Get an Anti Virus software - Certain anti-virus software could bog down your machine  However, I’m using Avast and it’s doing great, it's effective. And, best of all, it has a free version. Now,  to find from their website you head to www.download.com  and search for Avast &lt;br /&gt;On top of that since I found not one security software does everything still, periodically I also use the freeware Ad-Aware 2008 and/or  Spybot - Search &amp; Destroy  and they are easily obtained on the same site  www.download.com  and also do See all of the most popular downloads&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For anti-spyware I would recommend Ad-Aware 2008 or  Spybot - Search &amp; Destroy. Simple enough. Install and update although I wouldn’t recommend the extra features (teatimer and whatever the other one is) because they can get kind of annoying.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Also do take a look at Free: Comodo Internet Security Suite  Its main program window presents the three major defense components: Antivirus, Firewall, and Defense+. Configuration options are plentiful on all three. The virus scanner supports automatic updates, flexible scheduling, multiple scanning profiles, excluded directories and files, and detailed logging. As you’d expect, the firewall offers a myriad of rule and configuration options. Granting and revoking trust from applications, ports, and networks is a clear, simple process. Novice users will either want to leave the default settings alone or spend some time reading the detailed (and user-friendly) help files, as a couple of wrong clicks can quickly create networking headaches. An active connections screen is also available and it presents information similar to Sysinternals’ TCPview, providing insight as to which applications are transmitting or receiving data. To download CIS, please visit: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_cis.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I do urge you to update your operating systems, security software, updates  regularly, even at least every other day,  and do also perform virus &amp; spyware scans frequently. The question is not if you will get a virus or spyware, but rather when?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As for other security recommendations, download and do use Mozilla Firefox. It is a faster, more secure, and easier to use. I would also recommend installing addons called Ad Block Plus and Fasterfox.  Mozilla Firefox Install note: by default, some software  may or will install a toolbar and/or also change your home page. Pay attention to the install screens, and deselect them if you’re not interested.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Other notes:&lt;br /&gt;- GOM is  most favorite media player, cause it lets me readily access so many options too. GOM Media Player Play back video files in most of the popular video formats. http://www.gomlab.com/eng/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;-Resolving the Windows Update 0×8007043b Error.  Windows Update is a service provided by Microsoft for users of Microsoft Windows which provides updates for the operating system and its installed components is also not error proof,  sometimes things can go wrong and errors occur. This article on the Windows Update 0×8007043b Error should help you fix the problem:  http://www.updatexp.com/0×8007043b.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- A Windows “Updater” Alternative…  Microsoft sends out the monthly operating system updates and/or the updates for Microsoft Office (if you have it installed); Or if your computer crashes, you do a complete restore and now you have to download all of the updates all over again (very time consuming). Another scenario is that your Windows updates become corrupted and the updater is not working properly or one of the updates from Microsoft is basically dead in the water… Well there is a solution that may assist you in each of the scenarios. It is called “AutoPatcher“…  this is “techie” software and I  Really it is not that hard to do…   Description of AutoPatcher from the website: What is AutoPatcher? AutoPatcher could be described as an offline Windows Update. AutoPatcher provides an interface to a large collection of updates, common applications and registry tweaks, that can be easily and quickly applied to your computer system. What are the advantages of AutoPatcher over Windows Update? The main advantage is that you just have to do one download in order to have all the patches and add-ons, such as Sun Java, MSN Messenger 7.x and Windows Media Player 10. If you have many computers or if you format your computer frequently, it saves both time and bandwidth. With AutoPatcher, you can install critical patches offline,  You can also come in handy when updating a friends PC, if he/she can’t access the Internet (or uses a narrowband connection).  AutoPatcher – http://www.autopatcher.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And yes even the macs are very easy to hack. Just look at this list is known exploits http://www.milw0rm.com/platforms/osX&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- As for computer cleaning software I would recommend CCleaner.  CCleaner Clean up junk files and invalid Registry entries. Just click “Run cleaner” and “Scan registry for issues” (blue square) and that should clean out most of it. Also, running disk cleanup and disk defragmentor should speed up your computer significantly (Start &gt; All Programs &gt; Accessories &gt; System Tools). http://www.ccleaner.com/download&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;-  DriverMax  Extract and back up your Windows drivers and reinstall them easily after a new Windows setup.Now that you have some of the knowledge you need to know.

Be still wary of popular "free" music, free files and all of the free movie file-sharing programs, and be sure you clearly understand all of the software packaged associated with those programs. http://www.utorrent.com/download.php&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- Install two web  browsers at least, Internet explorer and Firefox,  and if you have web page connectivity problem check it with both of them first. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- But Do see More great software http://www.snapfiles.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;- Plus avoid emails from people you don’t know.&lt;br /&gt;- Don’t just download stuff you really don’t know anything about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Avoid always going to risky sites (you can probably guess).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Make sure you use secure passwords. These should be 8+ characters, consisting of numbers, letters and alphanumeric characters. It should also be something more complicated than a name or nickname. And for a  few examples would be SkAl2134!$ or S0mT1Ng$%#.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Windows PC - Best Practices Here are some more basic tips on keeping your computing experience as trouble-free as possible.&lt;br /&gt;1.   Backup your files/information monthly at least&lt;br /&gt;2.   Use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer for web browsing&lt;br /&gt;3.   Use a reliable web based email like Gmail, so you have a backup of your emails online as well as onsite… you can set up POP access or access via web browser.&lt;br /&gt;4.   Don’t download software from unknown sites&lt;br /&gt;5.   Don’t use peer-to-peer software like   Limewire; if you must use them, remember: caveat emptor&lt;br /&gt;6.   Ensure MS Windows is updated&lt;br /&gt;7.   Ensure MS Office is updated if equipped&lt;br /&gt;8.   Ensure the Windows Firewall is enabled&lt;br /&gt;9.   Use a hardware firewall like a router if possible&lt;br /&gt;10.   Don’t leave a wireless network unsecured/unencrypted&lt;br /&gt;11.  Ensure antivirus software is installed and updated&lt;br /&gt;12.   Ensure antispyware software is installed, updated and run periodically&lt;br /&gt;13.  Defragment hard drive monthly&lt;br /&gt;14.  Disable unused/unnecessary programs from startup in MSCONFIG&lt;br /&gt;15.  Use Google Desktop Search for more efficient document retrieval and processing&lt;br /&gt;16.  Keep all software disks that came with the computer and any peripherals; especially any software installation keys&lt;br /&gt;17.  Don’t turn off your computer by unplugging it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  PC World's and other's quick fixes for your worst security nightmares that will happen likely if you do nothing about it..  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Follow all of these simple tips to reduce your own Computer vulnerability. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Hackers tend to  exploit  known security holes that many users haven't bothered to patch even by relying on the sad propensity of the millions of computer users who had failed   to do things they've been told over and over to do,, or done what they have been told not to do.. And you don't have to be a Computer Guru  to avoid these  common computer attacks either. Implement a few simple fixes, and for a start you'll avoid most  of the bad stuff out there.&lt;br /&gt;!: Do get and install adequate computer firewall protection immediately &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2: Did you listen to the so called experts, and  Have you wrongfully turned off the automatic updates for Windows and other programs on the rationale that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?" Dream on in reality tfor the still he unpatched  software gives hackers the perfect opportunity to do exploit still your computer by launching  a series of probes against your PC in search of just one unpatched  vulnerability that a probe can exploit. If it finds one, you really better hope your insteleld, adequate antivirus program catches the ensuing attack. Otherwise you likely won't even notice anything amiss as it infects your system until it is too late, and your computer slows down, acts funny  now instead. Hackers like to find the holes es in seemingly innocuous applications such as QuickTime and WinZip as well as in Windows and Internet Explorer or whatever. So do get and do turn on the  automatic update features for any and all software that offers  the service--it's your quickest and easiest option for getting patches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3: Fix all of the potentical security Holes now and Get the free software updater  http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/ at http://www.filehippo.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;4:  No browser, software  completely eliminates the risk of  being hacked, damages, but do regualry stay update with the updates .. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5:  Check your downloads at  http://www.virustotal.com/  Virustotal is a service that analyzes suspicious files and facilitates the quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware detected by antivirus engines. More information...You can  easily upload any file (up to 10MB) to the site and have it scanned by a whopping 35 different antivirus engines, including ones from Kaspersky,  McAfee, and Symantec. A report tells you what each engine thought about your  file.  the  lack of warnings doesn't guarantee a file is safe, but it does give you  pretty good odds. Use a good virsu chekcer Virus   to check every e-mail attachment and download you're not 100 percent sure about, and you'll likleyt avoid hcaker's induced catshrophes. Do also download the  free VirusTotal Uploader. Once you've installed the utility, just right-click a file, and you'll see an option (under Send To) to upload it to  the VirusTotal site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6: Rescue Your main mail Inbox From Spam. Use as well  disposable e-mail addresses. Such an address is something you create every time you encounter an online  shopping site, forum, or other service that requires you to enter an e-mail  address. If that address gets flooded with spam, you can terminate it.&lt;br /&gt;That's a better system than the alternative, creating a multiple of  free Web mail such as Gmail , Yahoo Web mail  and a good, free service is available from http://www.spamgourmet.com/ a service that's quick and easy to set up and use; it allows you to create disposable addresses on-the-fly that will forward e-mail messages to your regular address next.&lt;br /&gt;Fix 7: Develop an Antiphishing Habit  The best approach, and the most straightforward, is never to click a link in  any e-mail message to access your financial accounts. Instead, always type  the URL or use a bookmark. That one habit will protect you from almost every  phishing attack.&lt;br /&gt;Tthe latest version of Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Opera  they All have built-in  features to block known phishing sites ( Avoid Safari, which lacks&lt;br /&gt;any built-in antiphishing protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8: Make Your Passwords Secure--And Easy to Remember Use at least both letters and numbers for a start&lt;br /&gt;9: Do not hesitate to Get Extra Cleaning Help for Stubborn Infections.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Sometimes even the best antivirus program misses an infection. And once a  virus or Trojan horse gets in, removing it can be incredibly tough. If you  suspect some nasty got past your defenses, then it's time to bring in extra  help. Many antivirus makers offer free and easy online scans through your Web  browser.&lt;br /&gt;Trend Micro HouseCall: Will detect and remove malware; works with both IE&lt;br /&gt;and Firefox.&lt;br /&gt;BitDefender Online Scanner: Detects and removes malware; requires IE.&lt;br /&gt;Kaspersky Online Scanner: Detects malware, but doesn't remove it; works with&lt;br /&gt;IE and Firefox.&lt;br /&gt;F-Secure Online Virus Scanner: Detects and removes malware; requires IE.&lt;br /&gt;ESET Online Scanner: Detects and removes malware; requires IE.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Help yourself by now helping others too, pass this and other security tips to them as well.,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;** Quite often even if the ISP, Internet Service Provider lies to you and says the internet problems are solely on your computer it can be in fact be rather with the ISP itself, their  cable or phone lines still too. As too often is the case with Bell. But anyway next do also test your own computer also&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Here are some basic hardware troubleshooting steps:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;** Quite often even if the ISP, Internet Service Provider lies to you and says the internet problems are solely on your computer it can be in fact be rather with the ISP itself, their  cable or phone lines still too. As too often is the case with Bell. But anyway next do also test your own computer also&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Here are some basic hardware troubleshooting steps:&lt;br /&gt;Open the computer and run it open after cleaning out all dust bunnies. Be careful when you clean; use compressed air and be gentle. Observe all fans (overheating will cause system freezing and/or crashing). This includes the fan on your video card if you have one. Obviously you can't do this with a laptop, but you can hear if the fan is running and feel if the laptop is getting too hot. For a desktop, without touching anything, hold your hand close to the inside of the case and feel how hot things are getting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Test the RAM - I like Memtest 86+ from http://www.memtest.org . Obviously, you have to get the program from a working machine. You will either download the precompiled Windows binary to make a bootable floppy or the .iso to make a bootable CD. If you want to use the latter, you'll need to have third-party burning software on the machine where you download the file and burn as an image, not as data. In either case, boot with the media you made. The test will run immediately. Let the test run for an hour or two unless errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM. It is extremely important that you get RAM that is compatible with your motherboard (and the RAM already in the machine). Crucial Technology has a Memory Selection Tool on their website.&lt;br /&gt;Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility from the drive manufacturer. If you aren't sure what drive you have or can't find a utility for it, Seagate's SeaTools for DOScan test non-Seagate drives. Download the file and make a bootable floppy or CD with it. You need third-party burning software and to burn as an image, not as data. Boot with the media you created and do a thorough test. If the drive has physical errors, replace it. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The power supply may be going bad or be inadequate for the devices you have in the system. The adequacy issue doesn't really apply to a laptop, although of course the power supply can be faulty. For a desktop, test by swapping out the PSU for a known-working one. If you have one of the higher-end video cards that requires a separate power supply connector, make sure it is in place.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Test the motherboard with something like TuffTest from http://www.tufftest.com  or the Ultimate Boot CD. Sometimes this is useful, and sometimes it isn't.&lt;br /&gt;Testing hardware failures usually involved swapping out suspected parts with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a reliable professional computer repair shop. Check with others as to who is reliable and who is not first too.  . Have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.

Or else run your Junk Cleaner or CCleaner.&lt;br /&gt;In IE 7, click Tools &gt; Internet options &gt; Security &gt; Reset all zones to Default level&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;C- If still you find your IE7 giving problems, close it and run IE (No Add-ons)&lt;br /&gt;This opens up the browser without loading any add-ons, toolbars or plug-ins.&lt;br /&gt;If you find it running OK, then the problem is most probably caused by an add on.&lt;br /&gt;In such a case then you have two options :&lt;br /&gt;1) use the manage Add-ons tool, and disable each one after the other to find out which one is causing the problem.&lt;br /&gt;2) Else in Internet Options, go to Advanced Tab and click on Reset tab. Restart IE. This step deletes all temp files, disables any add-ons, plug-ins, toolbars and also resets all changed settings to default. Although this is a quick-fix, you will have to re-install the add-ons. The settings which are affected by this are mentioned here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; see also Tips n Tricks   Internet Explorer http://cooltipsntricks.blogspot.com  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: How do I increase the number of simultaneous downloads Internet Explorer will allow? &lt;br /&gt;B: I want to take a screenshot of a video in Windows Movie Maker without getting just a black screen?&lt;br /&gt;C: I'm a technician, and I hate the "Unsigned Driver Warnings" XP presents to me when I'm installing some drivers ... how do I get rid of these warnings?&lt;br /&gt;D: Internet Explorer 7 doesn’t allow you to download more than 2 files at a time.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;http://cooltipsntricks.blogspot.com/2007/11/increase-number-of-simultaneous.html  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many of you have learned that you cannot believe, accept verbal promises on the phone? unless they are in writing, and even then often you cannot believe in them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I had a new computer problem show up today,  the windows vista would not update or allow me to update..  I researched the net, the customer's and community forums too,  on this and you should see all of the nothing but  crap I got so I merely contacted the real experts, not like those at Bell or Acanac now too, I contacted HP  and I got within a few hours their great solutions that next worked too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My disastrous conclusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still having problems  this evening even access my internet sites even   and also to access my email. This morning at 10 am I saw 2 Bell trucks, and two employees working at the closest Bell telephone junction box about 100 yards from my home near my home, and I bluntly went and asked them if they were responsible for making my internet ineffective, but it appears they next  did not solve my internet problems. Now do tell the Bell to fix the problem. I have often rightfully said it  that  what Bell fixes on one hand the other hand makes it worse next. Reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned long time ago just cause some one has a degree, a title, does not mean I have to believe his word, or believe that if he has a degree he has any  professional competency  now too. That includes all kind of professionals now too. My dad pay hundreds of dollars for a new set of glasses, and had to wait a month to get them, wore them for a month, and could not see.. when I went to see the optometrist he said he had done his best. Crap I said, my father did not pay him to do his best but only paid him to do professional job and I next demanded my father's full money back and we got it. We went immediately to another competitive optometrist next door and got a new pair of glasses at half the price in one hour and they worked well, my dad was happy.. so much for the so called professional.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So How come the access to my internet sites are not continually reliable? The internet, computer and the tech support services, are like one big jig saw puzzle, leave out some pieces and the puzzle is not pretty any more. I cannot believe it I have had 10 bell technicians come to fix my internet problems, and none of them seem to know how to use a computer, One Bell tech  had even asked me to give him some instructions on how to use his windows 98 laptop. One persons tells me to put it on, the other one next says take it off.. includes the local network connection  configuration setups&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://canadatoday9.multiply.com/journal/item/4/HOW_TO_DEAL_WITH_MAJOR_COMPLAINTS  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;See also DEALING EFFECTIVELY with COMPUTER VIRUSES, Spyware, etc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/dealing-effectively-with-computer-viruses/"&gt;http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/dealing-effectively-with-computer-viruses/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Servicing computers, providing technical support is not an easy business, even the so called experts often get it wrong.. 2 years problem with a brand new computer remained unsolved and why? the experts looked for complex problems.. and it next finally turned out to be a defective 15 dollars  hard drive cable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently I had problems with my internet connection for a whole week, and I get different advice from the so called experts to last a life time too.. Trouble shooting problems with computers can be a complex undertaking caused by a very small unresolved problem even. A Bell technician showed up today at my home at 1:30 PM at Acanac's suggestion he reduced my internet, modem speed from 10 megs to 5 megs.. because he thinks the Acanac modem is the problem, it does not want to accept the 10 meg causing the recent past internet connectivity problem.. Somehow I doubted it .. there had to be other factors elsewhere?   Everything works great so far, web page connectivity and Utorrent download, so how can I complain,  and let's hope it lasts that way.. But I also suspect the peak line demands, cappings, and line balance is part of the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problems! These days 40 percent of Canadian Internet Customers are rightfully dissatisfied with the poor lies, support services from their internet suppliers, especialy the biggest ones, such as Bell, Videotron, Rogers, .&lt;/strong&gt; Why?&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;By law the internet is unregulated.. and these supposedly consumer protection agencies now still all they can do is a useless pretentious mediation approach and next it is useless because Bell plays dirty, hardball still.. court actions cannot be enforced.  And any experienced lawyer will tell you, you need to first in writing personally to  ask the specific bad people to repent first, to first give them a chance to do so, before you can next go public,  and try to  shame them into action, and still that is the sole approach than works.. for in reality the pretentious CRTC, Cops, consumer agencies do not really care about helping  the small fries.. they only care about themselves. So I practice what I preach to you as well.. I put it in writing  on the net too, it is an embarrassing approach but still  the only one that works..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is bad enough I had problems with my email, and Internet connectivity problems with my web explorer but on top of all that now I had been facing major bit torrent or Utorrent downloading problems, torrent slowdowns, download capping, fluctuating speeds, all obviously, undeniably  because of BELL'S poor, faulty services, connections?  Bell's real crappy internet services unacceptably been providing to me and what Next? . Beyond a shadow of a doubt those mostly bad guys still at Bell Sympatico internet services have the last 2 year and more as well continued to make negative changes to my home internet services that have next caused a serious deterioration of my 6 meg high speed internet services, and they have also now had falsely changed my profile it seems always for the worse, not better too,  for they had  not only capped my bit torrent downloads, but they had restarted my Bit torrent connections every 30 minutes on top of that, and that had been a real nuisance too.. And now when the internet services of theirs starts to malfunction it negatively it seriously affects both not only my Email services, or my Utorrent or Bit torrent services, but also my connectivity using internet explorer as well. So I have averaged now this last year only about one week a month were Bell's services have been adequate  If you want to be sure you have really crappy internet provider, service then do get Bell Sympatico.. and they can and will next also  lie to you and even  tell you that they are delivering 12 megs download speed services to you , when in fact it is only 1 or more megs. Bell all you are are mostly are still just incompetent persons and liars still.. Bell Sympatico is just a big liar clearly guilty of not keeping their advertising, promises, unacceptably guilty of false , misleading advertising too. For one year and nine months now I had been asking those liars at Bell Sympatico to keep their obligations, contract promises to me to deliver me a high speed internet system and they had failed to do so. Now why is it that every single month I had to test the speed of my Bell Sympatico Internet and next to find out that Bell Sympatico have again wrongfully reduced the speed again? I know from first hand experience, that Bell Sympatico is one of the world's biggest liars, for  even in July , Augusts, December of 2007 they had also again promised me a download speed of 6 megs, and next to compensate to me for their actual failure of not delivering the promised high speed the last many years as well they now  had also promised me a free 6 meg high speed internet for 6 months even in writing. Well they kept  the free part, BUT THEY NEXT TRIED TO BILL ME FOR IT ANYWAY, but they did not not KEEP the high speed internet part, or ESPECIALLY even the unlimited downloads promised too, even the last many months . I have monthly checked Bell Sympatico speeds and they have not come close to continually delivering me my  RELIABLE 6 megs high speed internet...and I, you lose INTERNET connectivity all the time. I had written to Bell 370 times every month IN the last year too about this, even on the net too.. If you want to be sure you have really bad internet provider, service try Bell Sympatico. Bell Sympatico have already mailed me 9 new modems too and you have send me 12 repair men too and I have talked to 6 bell expediters. Still the INTERNET problem is at their end, the Sympatico servers, where they make changes there to reduce my capacities monthly too. I have two brand new high speed computers too with large hard drives 250 and 350 megs respectively and I am using Windows XP and Vista, and they both get the same poor internet downloads. And Bell Sympatico continuously and stupidly asked me next  to upgrade to a higher speed when they Bell Sympatico cannot even firstly deliver the promised 6 megs and those same Bell Sympatico liars MAKE PROMISES THEY DO NOT KEEP OFTEN. All of their technical support is  pretentious, non existent..  Internet service provider Bell Canada has now also admitted to throttling traffic and slowing data transfers even for its third-party ISPs, Some customers are facing Net speed slowed down from 500 to 30 kilobytes per second. Bell's now too many unhappy customers are mad as hell about their false paid for but next unlawful denial of services and they are openly expressing it too on the net. The war against Bell has just began and Bell itself has more to lose, many many customers firstly...   &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;It used to be when consumers had the best Consumer protection services, but these days unacceptably it has become a pretentious one.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Computers have become a way of life for many so have the internet service providers and their support services..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;sadly the promised support services is seriously Defective from most corporations still and unacceptably why?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This has been true of Bell, Acanac and yes even Videotron, where the consumers, customers are not receiving what they have paid for and are being lied as to why.. here is a PARTIAL expose of it.. do expect a lot more from others next too about Videotron.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;NEXT I do not have to understand why, but anyway my job is to use the computer, but this afternoon, Nov 1, 2008, a week later too,  I now  have had no problem accessing all of my own personal web sites, receiving my email, or accessing Google news or yahoo news.. I personally the last few days have made no changes to my computer at all too, I merely had my afternoon sleep,  so now  do thank Bell whatever they did it works  and let us keep it that way too for  you never know with Bell in that my many past experiences is what the right hand does the left hand in Bell undoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kambulow  &lt;br /&gt;The non conformer&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac.con or Acanac.com is there really a basic difference? How can I now even tell? Why is it that Both Bell and Acanac do ply dirty, if you complain too much by email they put your mail on spam, if you complain too much on the phone they merely hung up, and if you complain too much on their customer's forum they do ban you from them. What kind of dirty  suport service  is all of this? It is just more blackmail, false, bulliyng, lying, misleading avertisement on their part still too. Their bad managers go along with the cover up too. And you all can now by now I  will not, I do not rightfuly put up with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  Acanac.con or Acanac. com - High Speed Internet. Low Cost DSL and VOIP Service  Review community.acanac.com  - Forum  - Sales Information www.acanac.ca  - Internet Service Providers  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;I am unable in the last too many  days to access any  longer two of my own internet sites and even easily Acanac's own sites&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried it on 2 different browsers and 2 different computers too and it still did not work .. Firefox  and internet explorer..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blaming the customer for the problems too often is a poor Acanac  technical support approach&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac has falsely passed the Buck and had said that my ISP problems are supposedly related to my own computer, a virus, or the operating system, or the windows upgrades, or my security software or who knows what? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But I have tested the internet services with two 2 different computers, an XP and an Vista operating system and I had gotten the same problems.. Internet page access  problems .. thus so it is not the computer problem rather it   could be the Acanac modem or the connecting  Bell phone line.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac tech support services. Typical Very unprofessional support services&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about real consumer protections now too, here was some more examples  of the useless Acanac forum discussions&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Tech Ostriches blaming it on others Bell, Microsoft, any software, operating systems, me, my computer or whatever also still does not help at all.. nor does it indicate adequate Acanac technical, competent support.. The Acanac actual support is still disturbing, with their need for the emergency and dls support emails,   useless tech phone calls , useless  discussion board - seems all to be merely more buck passing.. and why too now even cannot it all be simplified..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In case you are not aware of it it seems the tech employees where new ones, just recently hired, there supposedly is a big employee turn around in this firm because of  their poor managers and it shows up in the customers services&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a problem with your ISP internet service provider you generally next will get  bad support services as the CBC television show  "Market Place" has confirmed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a problem with your ISP internet service provider   &lt;br /&gt;1: you can phone them.. and they can refuse to help you, even lie to you.&lt;br /&gt;2: you can email them, they will acknowledge the emails , but generally will not reply to them in detail&lt;br /&gt;3: you can contact their customer forum. too often useless and pretentious and if you complain loudly you will be banned form the forum likely&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the reality tech support department might next issue  a ticket Like Bell also does when you complain about a supposedly valid  internet problem.. now that ticket is only the tech support version of the  problem.. and the tech ticket it does not contain the customer's comments, complaints, email, for they are all deleted.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact it is sadly quite falsely common for Corporations such as Acanac, Bayer, Bell to cover up the truth, to close ranks, to try to suppress negative realties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not your ordinary persons to deal with , I am an experienced persons, I have worked as a professional engineer, contracts manager, Realtor, and also worked in 2 3 computer stores.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact the the management at Acanac also now had allowed their employees to lie, distort the facts, abuse customers is really unacceptable, as well as the moderators of the Acanac customer forums is also unacceptable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac my ISP supplier now has falsely to suppress the truth banned me from their Customer forum, &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;and Acanac my ISP supplier  had also taped all my past phone calls to them as they only now admit, done   without telling me beforehand now as well &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;and  I have no problem with it, I would like to have a copy of all of these invasion of my personal privacy tapes for my record..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; They Acanac my ISP supplier  now next  refuse to give it to me or to discuss any of this issues any further with me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Here is my recent post to them on their customer service web site too. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Acanac tech support now  have now said my problems sounds like virus, or who knows what, they had  said before it was the Microsoft upgrades, the operating system, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acanac my ISP supplier also have have refused to provide me with any related Acanac my ISP supplier customer support services, they do have not permission to talk about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well I do not need Acanac's permission to talk about it openly too.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Non Conformer&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kambulow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://community.acanac.com/acanac/ucp.php?i=pm&amp;mode=view&amp;p=24970&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2008/10/acanaccom-or-acanaaccon.html&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  PS Acanac You can close all the useless Acanac tickets, and just open one good one now  to fix the same ISP problems I have still had all this past week . Acanac and Bell why is it you still lie, abuse the customers, and why do you willfully think I have to put up  with it, and why do you think I work for you or have take abuse, or orders from you too? Public exposure and prosecution of the bad persons serves everyone's best interest, I merely openly, publically show too all the negative reality of dealing with you still too. Threatening to put my emails on spam will only make it worse for you.. I will not go away.. the whole world will read what you do still too. &lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;From: paul kambulow &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2008 12:16 PM&lt;br /&gt;To: Acanac Inc ( Soheil ) &lt;br /&gt;Subject: Re: [YKD-23145]: disastrous conclusion&lt;br /&gt;Bell  could not contact me while I was at home sending unwanted, unappreciated emails to Acanac, complaining Bell  had done nothing yet good too -  and Bell did not even verify by phone even as is the past common practice that some one was coming to me as well beforehand? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;and the previous time that the bell Manager had contacted me and I stayed home and no Bell guy had showed up,  as I detailed back in writing to Acanac was certainly not my fault too. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bell managers need to do a better supervision of Bell tech employees clearly, for they have lost control of them, and do not even know what they do, &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Major part of the problem with Bell is anyone can change my speed profile anytime  under the guise of improving their system, for their benefit and not mine.. any time they want too and often still do.. mostly they fix a problem and another one a short time later shows up instead.. wow.. not an effective way to run a telecommunications company &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You also still did not answer the questions I asked many times before in wring such as why do they have to come to my home in the first place. they fixed the problems before on their own, do they need my approval, they got it, or do they want my supervision? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Paul&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: Acanac Inc ( Soheil ) &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2008 10:35 AM&lt;br /&gt;To: pkambulow@hotmail.com &lt;br /&gt;Subject: [YKD-23145]: disastrous conclusion&lt;br /&gt;disastrous conclusion&lt;br /&gt;Hello,&lt;br /&gt;Please accept our apology for inconvinience, we are trying to resolve the issue but we were reported by Bell that your last repair ticket was closed due to they could not contact you on last Friday morning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway we will do our best possible to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

The Bell tech leaves and disconnect my internet. I email and also call Accanac back and they put a Bell class 2 priority and in 2 hours they reestablish my internet line. Everything  is working great again. And for how long? the circus just begun..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A whole week later next my internet speeds slow down and I start to have really new web access problem.. I contact Acanac and they said they are issuing a ticket and I was to stay home cause a Bell tech was coming the next day between 9 -12, Bell confirms it to me by Phone, I stayed home but he the Bell tech never came and there was no improvement on my Internet services.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So next I email and I  call back on Wednesday to Accanac who now issues a class 2 ticket and a Bell Teach is to show up again, no date or time is given. This time no Bell supervisor  phones me to even confirm a visit.. Now why was that??? really do tell me? or is this a mere Acanac pretence?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Very late Friday Afternoon after I  had been on the net morning, lunch time sending emails, 6 times to Acanac,  I next get an email  note from Acanac surprisingly too, the Bell tech had supposedly showed up, what day was that?  and I was not home.. not detail of the date or time was given me..  and who can I believe, trust even Bell or Accanac now here too that it had all even supposedly had happened? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For I this week see no real evidence that Acanac is seriously dealing with this even though now it is a week with the same problem sand why is  that? do tell us all..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  and Acanac now says  it has done it's job, like Pontus Polite,  whole it washes it hands in the affair, ticket closed, supposedly after all it was my fault supposedly that Bell had not fixed my bad ISP system , yes once again a drive by shooting, by that  too often common, lying Bell techs in my last 2 years experiences in dealing with them.

Bell techs merely checking only what speed they are supplying to  me alone is the answer as we all know by now.. my web pages access connectivity complaint, email access,  Putty software crashes, Tunelier continual disconects, utorrrents actual download speeds, my inability to acess my modem setup,   was the main  issues..  and you can see there only this week are many different issues   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and the poor system according to your own  your tech Jonathan  said it was caused by either the high nose in the phone line.. or the Bell profile card card not properly seated in the server,  or inadequate line balancing, where one line is shorter than the other.. and still none of that has anything to do with me or my home.. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;On top I personally  have spent the whole week testing my system, checking for spare, viruses, installing  5 separate security software, I  also had many times tested the same line with another XP computer separately as well.. I discussed the issues on Acanac forum now as well .. and got nothing in return so far&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now if Bell had actually modified the line today at their substations where the line balancing  problems are, they are not at my home for a start too,  it next would have showed up  on my Avast log  showing a "new connection", as this is what normally happens when thy do real repairs on my line.. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Please note that the main problem is not the speed test alone, and how many times do I have to point that out to you. .Re: [JEH-82060]: Slow web access&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For  the problem is the internet web page connectivity.. I cannot access the normal pages that I have been accessing the least 6 months adequately, they are slow, they do not open up. Now if you all had read my tickets reply you would all have known that.. it is even posted on my web site too..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;acanac &gt;&gt;Also please let us know if you have any direct contact number to inform Bell again. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Acanac this false buck passing is unacceptable.. and what do you mean by that.. Bell does not show upon and it is my fault.. I am at home., I am retired.. I have no work number. I have solely a home number.. you do not seem to be having problem in me reading and replying to your email on the same phone line.. and what my Bell telephone home  number now is also not working? I have no problem talking to the police, news reporters though with it. Now what about Acanac providing the real support service  promised to me?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now Acanac fix the problems instead of finding false excuse to close the ticket.. Really or read all about it on the web, in the news pages next too..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Acanac you still did not reply and tell me why Bell has to come to my home to fix the problem.. is it your effective modem likely the cause, or the Bell phone lines? RSVP &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now talk to Jonathan who I Talked to at Tech Support Wednesday night he was the one who confirmed and wrote the ticket and said what the problem was, a php problem.. and have Bell really fix it.. see the insert page now1.jpg showing an example of the web connectivity problems.. send it  to Bell too.. and tell Bell to do a proper work ASAP..

Contract law is based on the Latin phrase pacta sunt servanda (pacts must be kept). Anyone can enter into a contract, except minors, certain felons and people of unsound mind. It's important to know that not all contracts details even have to be in writing., for instance, certain agreements can also be made and accepted orallly and still be legally enforceable. While the contract agreement doesn't always have to be in writing, all the other elements of a valid contract still have to be met, included, , fulfilled by law. The bottom line is that the parties generally come to transactions in good faith, mutually trust and understanding, and not a one way approach, one way demands, one way relationship.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;All valid courts, will not enforce, accept as valid any contract to perform an accepted illegal act. A contract to kill some is invalid clearly too. A person who pays for bad drugs that aren't delivered can't next seek the help of a court or the police in getting the money back. Unbelievable some people still do try to do this too. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A valid contract also always requires the mutual parties' consent, which must be freely made, not forced consent, and clearly communicated to each other. Consent is not free when obtained through duress, menace, fraud, lies, undue influence or mistakes, serious errors were presented. Consent isn't mutual unless the parties agree on the same thing in the same sense, a clear "meeting of the minds. One party now presenting only their own their terms, conditions, without the other parties approval, consent, free will clearly is still not a valid contract. In order for an acceptance of an offer to be effective, it must be made while the sales, specific, fixed service offer is still open. Any person can changes the conditions of an initial offer in responding to the offer, the old offer is clearly now rejected and the changed conditions constitute a counteroffer and that now becomes part of of any subsequent agreed upon contract.&lt;br /&gt;I did that with Bell now too. Once there is next a final, written contract between the parties, the parol evidence rule forbids the introduction in a court proceeding of any previous agreements between the parties on the subject matter of the contract. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Only certain contracts aren't valid unless in writing. Generally, they do deal with real property, certain specific loans, debts, money exceeding a certain amount, or contracts concerning the sale of goods worth more than $500 or one that include objects that won't be performed within one year or within the promisor's lifetime. Bell now being unable to supply me a promised high speed internet but only a low speed one is still a good example of an invalid contract even if was a written one originally from Bell.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2: The Specific parties. The contract must always include, identify who the agreed upon specific parties are; usually names are sufficient, but sometimes addresses or titles may be used. Bell and the specific customer. Me in this case.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;3: The agreed upon object. The Offer, the thing, the value, the services being agreed to is also known as the object or subject and it itself not only must be lawful, possible but it must be a definite, fixed, measurable amount specially now even by the laws of Quebec too. For instance Bell promising to deliver a customer a 6 meg download high speed internet service, where they know they only have a 3 meg line capacity is not legal or legally binding contract. Bell promising to supply their" best services "or "up to 6 megs services" is not legal as well for it is is not really an agreed upon fixed object, rather the object is not definite and most customers have take that to mean 6 megs anyway. . The object of the contract does have to be very specific and measurable. It is Bell obligations now to to clerk up any ambiguity on the contract as agree upon by the comer now too. So if Bell promising a 6 megs internet services, and Bell by law next has to deliver 16 megs to meet their promise that is also now part of the contract too. A specified length of time, such as one year does not mean the contract is still valid if Bell has not lived up to the agreed upon previously contract terms.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;4: The outcome, or the considerations. All contracts require consideration, meaning each party must gain something fixed, tangible. It may also be something that is or isn't done or given. When a party agrees to do something (such as I will paint your house) or to not do something (I will not sell my house to anyone else for 30 days) they next also must gain something in return toy make this a valid contract, they must receive agreed upon fixed payment, a fixed reward. Generally, if I say I'll paint your house, and you haven't promised me anything in return, you can't sue me next for not showing up because I will not receive any consideration firstly". Once a contract has been created, it can be determined if there are any issues that call into question of its validity too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5: Termination of contracts. Breach of contract. Breach of contract is recognised by the law with applicable penalties now too. Contracts generally can only be terminated if mutually agree now by both parties as to what the terminations terms included. Parties to a contract may mutually agree to rescind the contract. In that case, the parties may agree on the duties and responsibilities of each party after the rescission. Bell still expecting me to pay for their internet when they do not keep their promises is a breach of the contract, an invalid demand of me. Now is the contract price set, are promised quantities specially determined, and is the time for performance clearly stated? There should be enough information contained in the contract always that, if needed, the courts likely next would be able to enforce the contract or determine the appropriate damages. Unless it is mutually agreed upon before any subsequent court demanded decision action, is taken. Fraud is the intentional misrepresentation of an important issue of the contract. The presence of fraud in a contractual proceeding makes the contract voidable by the party upon whom the fraud was perpetrated. The contract always still now binds both parties, and not just the customer to the terms, conditions of the contract agreed upon now as well. Once it is determined that there is a contract, it it still can, must be determined whether there are any defenses that call into question the validity of the contract.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bell Changing horses, making changes, additions to the contract in midstream is invalid, a breach, still not allowed, especially without the subsequent, and pre consent, approval of both parties now still too and is a breach of contract rather. That includes Bell capping of my bitt torent downloads too on my unlimitted download account. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yes a Bell contract also may end because of a breach by Bell. A breach occurs when a person, or a firm does not fulfill his or her, their responsibilities as promised in the contract. A breach may be minor or major. A major breach is one that does affect the subject matter of the contract and does affect the outcome of the contract. Bell not having sufficient equipment, capacity in place to meet my high speed internet, is a breach of contract. This is also known as a breach of a material issue. When there has been a breach in a contract, the question of damages is raised. The damages due to a party when there is a contract breach depend on many factors, including: which party breaches, and what damages were incurred. In most cases when an injury results from a contract breach, the injured party receives money damages. Such as I have in Dec 2007 from Bell. Bell itself has unacceptably cause now in the last 2 years many unacceptable breaches in our contract that I have clearly even in writing not accepted and have objected too and demand restitution of as well rightfully.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Go back to a good school firstly Bell, Acanac, Others now too  if you cannot understand and keep all of this now too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;PS: "In Real Estate specifically , there it is a requirement at Law that contracts be written down in usually lengthy legal forms to avoid uncertainty, ambiguity and to be binding . &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Contract acceptance, like the offer, must be given in clear terms. It must be a positive act. For instance, an offer cannot state “If I don’t hear from you, I will assume you have accepted”. Doing nothing will never be considered legal acceptance.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The rule at Law is that where an offer is required by statute to be in writing, then also the acceptance must be in writing in order for the offer to become a contract binding on both parties. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Even when all the foregoing essential elements exist, a contract can still be void, voidable or illegal. A void contract is one which is deemed at Law never to have existed. A voidable contract is slightly different: it exists until it is repudiated by one of the parties. An illegal contract is one which is made for an illegal purpose, and which is therefore always void. Examples of voidable contracts are the ones made when one of the parties is an infant, i.e. a minor or under the majority age. In this case the contract can be voided by the infant. Likewise, when one of the parties is legally insane, the contract is voidable. A special case is a contract stipulated when one of the parties is a limited company or corporation. Three questions must be first answered before the contract can be enforceable: 1) whether the corporation does in fact exist and 2) whether it has the capacity to enter into the contract and 3) whether the person signing on behalf of the corporation is, in fact, the authorized signatory. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If one of the parties makes a misrepresentation or if the contract contains an inherent mistake, the contract may still not be binding. A misrepresentation is, by definition, a statement which is false and which must have induced one of the parties to enter into the contract. A misrepresentation can be innocent, negligent or fraudulent and different remedies are available to the party suffering damages because of the nature of the misrepresentation. If the representation is innocent, the party can sue for rescission of the contract. In the case of negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation, the affected party can sue for damages as well. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Although misrepresentation requires a statement to be made, silence too can result in some form of misrepresentation by itself, affect the consent of the parties but will have similar consequences as misrepresentation. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Duress occurs when a person is forced to enter into the contract against his will. As a result, the Courts will find the contract voidable at his option. Undue influence, on the other hand, is more subtle. Like duress it results in one party losing his free will to contract out. However it occurs more frequently when a person is in a superior or dominant position in relation to another and uses this influential position to induce the other to enter into the contract. Again, if undue influence is found, the contract is voidable at the option of the innocent party. "&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;" The most common method used to resolve business contract disputes and enforce contracts (if informal resolution methods fail) is through lawsuits and the court system. If the amount at issue is below a certain dollar figure (usually $3,000 to $7,500 depending on the state), the parties may be able to use “small claims” court to resolve the issue. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Courts and formal lawsuits are not the only option for people and businesses involved in contract disputes. The parties can agree to have a mediator review a contract dispute. The parties are not bound by a mediator’s decision, but may be convinced to avoid a costly court battle by how the mediator rules The parties can also agree to binding arbitration of a contract dispute. In arbitration, a neutral party listens to the arguments from both sides and issues a decision that is binding on the parties. This is cheaper and less time-consuming than a court battle. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When attempting to enforce a contract, an individual or business should always consider the effect any dispute will have on any long-term business relationship between the parties involved. " Especially Bell Sympatico&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bell Sympatico needs also to learn "Despite precedents that show that contracts substantially favoring the party with the greater power often are deemed unconscionable (so unfair as to not be enforceable), lawyers stiff draft them and companies still like them. Lesson learned: Make deals that are balanced; contracts that distribute risks and responsibilities fairly. Such deals will be honored by courts and your businesses wealth and reputation will benefit over the long term.

He threw a tantrum because we at Acanac (and I'm not the only one he spoke to this way)would not resolve an operating system issue for him, one which could have been resolved by a FREE call to Microsoft.

I can go to your house to "fix" your computer. have a nice day&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  thenonconformer : I have forwarded your letter to the Montreal Police and the RCMP, Justice Ministers and since you insist your comments are legal even to all of Canada's news editors too, with Acanac's approval? &lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free speech is till my right as well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: paul kambulow &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 3:49 PM&lt;br /&gt;To: pressq@dslreports.com &lt;br /&gt;Subject: community.acanac.com • View topic - A new thread for the same olld Problems&lt;br /&gt;Tunelier crashes now continually &lt;br /&gt;viewtopic.php?f=8&amp;t=7035&amp;p=39994#p39994 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I cannot even access my modem setup -Internal communication error.

The Acanac actual support is disturbing, with emergency and dls support emails, support, useless tech phone calls , discussion board - seems to be merely more buck passing.. and why too now even cannot it all be simplified..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still coming along trying to see why the internet page access , overall computer -internet performance is not as great as it was last week too.

It has to be something else besides the software &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.. a balanced view? everyone sees the iceberg from their own limited point of view, expertise, experience.. and is also why they differ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got an email asking me to contact Accanac by phone so they can tell me this by phone, not in writing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the undeniable crap I just Got from Glen at Acanac by phone, who says he is an expert, DSL reports show it, so now my web access problems are due to Microsoft updates, he cannot prove it, it is his expertise option, he does not have to support me, to help me to solve this problem.. he is not responsible for Acanac sending me solutions that did not work as well. So who will be responsible for all this crap this at Acanac? Me? Glen is no better than the bad Bell techs &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glen would not let me talk to his manager next, and he does not care a daxxm about what i post , write where to anyone about this, and now twice hangs up the phone.. does he and Acanac treat everyone that way now too?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now what about real support? now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thanks&lt;br /&gt;http://community.acanac.com/acanac/viewtopic.php?f=8&amp;t=7112&amp;p=40027#p40027&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: paul kambulow &lt;br /&gt;Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 1:56 PM&lt;br /&gt;To: Acanac Support (Asieh) &lt;br /&gt;Subject: Re: [NFV-87439]: as posted on your forum&lt;br /&gt;I am still having major page connectivity problems and the promised Bell tech did not show up this Morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fergless wrote: Hi Guys..

Conservatives win about 37 percent of the votes, a one percent gain only  since 2006. Liberals win 26 percent, down 4 percent. Liberals have worst showing in 20 years., BQ win 10 percent-  no change-, and  NDP win 18 percent of the votes , another 1 percent gain . But the NDP made significant gains mostly in Ontario. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Conservatives humbled, they still would still need opposition party support to govern. Canada's third minority government in four years. Harper's Conservatives defeated a Liberal minority government in the January 2006 election.  The Bloc Quebecois won about two-thirds of the Quebec province’s 75 seats on Tuesday as it repeated its 2006 success and kept its stranglehold on the province.  Canadian International Trade Minister Michael Fortier lost his bid to win a seat in Parliament in Tuesday's election, initial projections showed. As expected, the Liberal's star candidate, 36-year-old Justin Trudeau, son of the late prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, was elected in his riding of Papineau, giving the party a boost to its sagging fortunes in Quebec. Disgraced former foreign minister, Maxime Bernier was easily re-elected in the Beauce with 63 per cent of the vote, despite being embroiled in the Julie Couillard affair.   Fortier, a member of the unelected Senate upper chamber, was trailing badly behind a candidate from the separatist Bloc Quebecois in the French-speaking province of Quebec. Whether he makes it back into government is now in considerable doubt.  Voters shut out the Conservatives from two of Canada's major cities for a second consecutive election last night, when the Tories failed to secure a single seat in either Toronto or Montreal.. The Liberals have elected or are leading in 21 Toronto ridings, and the NDP in two, while the Conservative party has been shut out of Canada's largest city yet again. NDP got one seat in Montreal and the Liberals got 15. Almost all of the past Conservative Cabinet Ministers were re-elected. New Democrats across Canada had heightened expectations for the elections on Monday night that were dashed when the ballots were finally counted. Liberal Bob Rae   elected twice in the same year. Rae took the riding in a byelection on March 17 and was declared the winner tonight after about a fifth of the polls were counted. Michael Ignatieff also took his riding of Etobicoke-Lakeshore with about 47 per cent of the vote, with 50 of 261 polls reporting.  Rae and Ignatieff are considered front-runners if Stephane Dion’s leadership is challenged. Political observers have said Dion could face some pressure to resign if the Liberals fail to win about 90 seats, The Liberals are expected  to take about 76 seats.  Former Liberal leadership candidate Martha Hall Findlay took her seat in Willowdale and Gerard Kennedy took Parkdale-High Park from the NDP. Nova Scotia has elected its first Independent MP since 1874. Voters in Cumberland-Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley are sending ex Conservative Bill Casey back to Ottawa for a fifth consecutive term.  The longtime MP made headlines last June when he voted against his party on a budget bill, saying it denied Nova Scotia benefits promised in an offshore deal. He was promptly kicked out of the Conservative caucus. Tories   make another clean sweep of all 14 ridings in southern Alberta - Big deal! They make enough noise about it still too. In the 2006 election, the Liberals sent 20 MPs to Ottawa from Atlantic Canada, while the Conservatives won nine seats and the NDP three. At press time the Liberals were elected or leading in 16 seats, the Conservatives had a small boost to 11 seats, the NDP had four and Bill Casey chalked one up in the Independent column.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; http://enr.elections.ca/National_e.aspx &lt;br /&gt;http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/ridings/  &lt;br /&gt;http://www.ctv.ca/mini/election2008/electionResults.html &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Majority Is Seen as Unlikely for Canada’s Conservatives   October 14, 2008  OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s gamble that forcing Canada into its third election in four years would give him firm control over Parliament seemed to be falling short on Tuesday.  Polls leading into the vote had indicated that his Conservatives would return to power, but that they would again find themselves relying on support from the opposition to get legislation passed.  And early returns from Atlantic Canada, where polls closed first, showed the Conservatives leading or elected in 21 parliamentary districts, to the Liberals’ 28 seats. The Conservatives were shut out in Newfoundland and Labrador.  But the Atlantic provinces were not expected to back Mr. Harper’s party, and Danny Williams, the Conservative who is prime minister of Newfoundland, had vigorously campaigned against the federal wing of his party because of a dispute over oil and gas rights. After taking power in 2006, Mr. Harper set a fixed election date, an idea introduced with fanfare but abandoned last month when he called this election.  It appeared that he was relying on the strong economy, as well as disarray in the opposition Liberal Party, to secure the parliamentary majority he was denied in the last election, in January 2006.  Mr. Harper was blindsided, however, by the turmoil that has swept international financial markets. Canada’s banks have avoided the troubles experienced of late in the United States and Britain, but the Toronto Stock Exchange has gyrated with its counterparts elsewhere. Mr. Harper made an undesirable situation worse for his party by projecting a nonchalant attitude.  During a debate, he found himself on the defensive after saying, “What Canadians are worried about right now is not the job situation, not losing their home like in the U.S.” Their concerns, he added, were limited to their investments. Later, in a television interview, he suggested that the world’s economic problems might not be all bad. “I think there are probably some gains to be made in the stock market,” he said. Canadians do not vote directly for a political party or the prime minister, but elect a local member of the House of Commons, the lower house of Parliament. For Mr. Harper to achieve a majority in Parliament, it was essential for him to improve his party’s standing in Ontario and Quebec, which control 181 of the 308 seats.  The current economic uncertainty has been a particular concern in parts of Ontario where industries rely heavily on exports to the United States. A rise in the value of the Canadian dollar over the past two years made many of those factories much less competitive. The economic slowdown in the United States has aggravated the problem. Peter Donolo, a former official in a Liberal government who now is an executive of the Strategic Counsel, a polling firm, said the perception of Mr. Harper in Quebec reversed during the campaign, from a 60 percent approval rating to a 60 percent disapproval rating. “The support just evaporated,” Mr. Donolo said. “He chased away Quebec votes kind of offhandedly.” French-speaking Quebecers reacted poorly to suggestions by Mr. Harper that artists were members of the elite who spent too much time at government-financed galas.  A proposal to stiffen penalties for young people who commit crimes also found little following in the province.   The New Democratic Party, supported by organized labor and led by Jack Layton, steadily rose in most polls during the campaign.  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/15/world/americas/15canada.html?ref=world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; MONTREAL — Liberal Leader Stephane Dion found himself an unlikely ally Friday as he dealt with the aftermath of a botched English-language interview in Halifax — Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe. Duceppe came to Dion’s defence after the Conservatives manhandled the Liberal leader over the garbled interview and declared him unfit to lead the country. Dion tripped up during the interview with CTV Atlantic on Thursday and excerpts of his linguistic fumbles were later broadcast despite assurances made to the Liberals the flubs would not be aired. The Conservatives wasted no time lambasting Dion, with Leader Stephen Harper linking Dion’s language woes to his ability to lead. But Duceppe called Harper’s comments a “low blow” during a radio interview in Montreal. The Bloc leader says Harper’s comment only illustrates the “double standard” that exists in Canadian politics that requires French-speaking politicians to be fluently bilingual while English-speaking politicians can get away with mangling French. “I think it’s just unacceptable to criticize Mr. Dion’s English,” Duceppe said.  “I think when we compare Mr. Dion’s English with the French of other English leaders or ministers . . .

The line between legitimate RCMP security duties and the media management imperatives of a politically sensitive Prime Minister’s Office appeared to be scuffed once again this week on the election trail. Mounties protecting Prime Minister Stephen Harper during a campaign event in Surrey, B.C., were ordered Tuesday evening to stop reporters from approaching a high-profile Tory candidate. “Keep them out,” Harper aide Ray Novak shouted at the RCMP security detail as journalists approached Dona Cadman. CTV’s Rosemary Thompson was literally yanked aside by one Mountie as she approached the retreating group - which did not include the prime minister.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Cadman, a Conservative candidate, is famous for sparking bribery allegations against her party by telling a journalist last year that her dying husband, former Reform and Independent MP Chuck Cadman, claimed to have been offered a million-dollar insurance policy to change his vote in Parliament. It’s an unresolved storyline the Conservatives, understandably, don’t want pursued during an election campaign. Cadman, who has dodged questions from the national media before in the campaign, told a local community newspaper Wednesday she’s concentrating on her own back yard. “We’re talking to the local media, which is much more important than going national or regional,” she said. The incident followed an earlier episode in the campaign’s first week when the RCMP was employed to thwart a CTV camera crew in St. Eustache, Que., on the day the Tories suspended campaign spokesman Ryan Sparrow. “I want that camera out of there,” Harper spokeswoman Carolyn Stewart Olsen told a Mountie, who somewhat apologetically obliged. But is it within the RCMP’s mandate to stop the media from doing its job?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Several officers matter-of-factly said they were acting on orders from the PMO - although the official RCMP line, delivered after the incident became a major media story, was that hotel management sought the eviction. Many on Parliament Hill believe the PMO’s use of RCMP security to thwart reporters has increased under a Harper government that is obsessed with communications control. Stories abound, for instance, of security officers stopping camera cut-away shots from non-PMO-approved positions. But the most infamous case of RCMP deploying its resources for essentially communications reasons came under the watch of former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien at the 1997 APEC summit in Vancouver. An inquiry into the pepper-spraying of protesters concluded that the Mounties had “succumbed to government influence and intrusion in an area where such influence and intrusion were inappropriate.” Testimony at the inquiry suggested government officials were consumed with the poor optics of large demonstrations. “By whatever educational or other communications means available, the RCMP must instill in its officers … that they are to brook no intrusion or interference whatever from government officials,” inquiry commissioner Ted Hughes concluded. It would appear to be an inquiry forgotten not just by the Mounties and current government, but by the Liberals in opposition.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Liberal campaign war-room issued a news release Wednesday decrying Tory heavy-handedness. “The job of the RCMP is not to prevent the Conservative party from being embarrassed,” said the Liberal party release. “They are there to protect the prime minister against genuine physical threats and they should never be used as a political tool.” http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5g6YesTXAYfsanGLSDxXgDxHF_vWw&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We already know what a liar, dictator, control freaks the PM and the RCMP are too is..&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt; More crap from the Alberta Police too..Since January, RCMP and provincial sheriffs have issued more than 2,000 speeding tickets to people driving on Highway 63, including 363 tickets over the weekend. Political and labour leaders have been lobbying the Alberta government for years to twin the highway between Edmonton and the Fort McMurray area. While some work is underway, most of the money is being spent on highway work north of the oilsands capital. Bellows said the entire highway would be safe if motorists just obeyed the speed limit. "We are frustrated," he said. "Just slow down and relax. You will get there safe."  Meanwhile, leadfoot drivers are also a problem on highways through Banff National Park.  RCMP report that officers issued 115 speeding tickets over the weekend between Lake Louise and the Jasper National Park Boundary. In some cases drivers along Highway 93 were clocked going more than 60 km over the posted speed limit. ( Revenue generating ) Speed limits in the mountain parks are set with an eye toward preventing collisions with wildlife. ( and how often does that occur?) RCMP in the Peace River area said even when police warn motorists about speed traps some drivers continue to drive faster than the posted limit. ..&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;RCMP like to give speed tickets when you are leaving the park, not entering it too.. and I got 2 speeding tickets on the same spot in Canmore ten years apart too... and the second time I went to court and rightfully fought the dirty RCMP too.  &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;In reality the too often self serving, money hungry, promotional and empire oriented police, and their superiors, bad justice ministers, bad politicians  really do not care about the citizens good welfare but only their own&lt;br /&gt;              &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; " official statistics showed that only five per cent of crashes are caused by drivers breaking the speed limit. Drivers who let their attention wander cause more than six times as many accidents." Driver error accounted for 66 per cent of accidents.. and add the road rage, impaired, drunk drivers, bad poorly maintained vehicles to that too .. Most reasonable and reasoning people have seen the folly of speed cameras for decades now too.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile the Conservative controlled Swindon Council has decided that it will no longer make it’s contribution towards the cost of speed cameras in Wiltshire, preferring instead to plough it’s £400,000 into real road safety measures.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Isn’t it better to have a road that is designed to be safe from the start, rather than sticking a camera there to catch people who may or may not be driving dangerously? We treat road safety very, very seriously but we pay about £400,000 a year to the road safety partnership – money which goes straight into the Government’s pockets.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Almost half of motorists do not think speed cameras improve road safety according to new survey results from whatcar.com.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;For fatal accidents the most frequently reported contributory factor was loss of control, which was involved in 35 per cent of road deaths. Failure to look properly was the most frequently reported contributory factor and was involved in 32 per cent of all injury accidents. Five of the six most frequently reported contributory factors were some kind of driver or rider error or reaction.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The money hungry Conservatives in Alberta, the Calgary and the Edmonton Police forces  and the Liberals in Ontario they can all learn from this&lt;br /&gt;A study of the figures in the British Medical Journal showed a  gap between police and hospital data  showed a wide divergence in these figures   said one of the authors of the article, Mike Gill, professor of public health at Surrey University. The Police are known  to lie, and  they try to please their political bosses , to get a raise by generating revenue from traffic tickets.&lt;br /&gt;The survey of the Canadian vital statistics database, made up of information from death certificates, shows that 97,964 people were killed in motor vehicle accidents during the past quarter-century. However, the annual number of deaths dropped 52 per cent to 2,875 in 2004 from 5,933 in 1979. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly three-quarters of those killed in these accidents were male, and motorists at either end of the age spectrum had higher-than-average death rates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedestrians accounted for 12 per cent of motor vehicle deaths, followed by motorcyclists and drivers of all-terrain and other off-road vehicles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elderly pedestrians were also found to be more than three times likelier than the general population to be killed in motor vehicle accidents. The study does not explain why. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rural roads proved particularly treacherous for drivers. Sixty-two per cent of fatal collisions in 2004 took place in rural areas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yukon had the highest death rate at 16.4 deaths per 100,000 people. Newfoundland and Labrador and Ontario were the only two provinces and territories reporting a death rate lower than the national average of nine for every 100,000 people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study notes that while death rates have fallen, the ubiquitous use of cell phones and BlackBerrys while driving pose a danger to drivers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The still Bad bad Conservatives &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;CALGARY - Opposition parties are demanding Calgary Conservative incumbent Lee Richardson immediately resign for controversial comments that suggested immigrants are to blame for much of the crime in Canada. In an interview with a Calgary weekly newspaper published Thursday,  Richardson is quoted as saying many crimes aren’t committed by people who  “grew up next door” and immigrants aren’t as law-abiding.  “Particularly in  big cities, we’ve got people that have grown up in a different culture, and  they don’t have the same background in terms of the stable communities we  had 20, 30 years ago in our cities . . . and don’t have the same respect for  authority or people’s person or property,” Richardson told Fast Forward  Weekly, when asked about recent gun violence in Calgary.  “Talk to the  police. Look at who’s committing these crimes,” added Richardson, the Tory  candidate in Calgary Centre. “They’re not the kid that grew up next door.” Richardson later said he regretted the comments and that he misspoke.  Calgary Centre NDP candidate Tyler Kinch immediately demanded that  Richardson resign from the campaign, or that Conservative Leader Stephen  Harper fire him - a sentiment also shared by the federal Liberals.   “We  must expect more out of our community leaders,” Kinch told reporters on  Thursday. “Mr. Richardson’s comments are hurtful, unfair, untrue and  unproductive . . . Lee Richardson must resign.” Liberal public safety critic  Ujjal Dosanjh called Richardson’s comments “disgraceful” and urged Harper to  turf him.  “If Prime Minister Harper does not take action and fire his  candidate one can only assume he condones such attitudes. It’s clear that  the old Reform Party view towards immigration is still alive and well in  this Conservative party,” Dosanjh said in a statement. http://www.canada.com/topics/news/features/decisioncanada/story.html?id=0add4a8f-03ee-48dd-9538-dd4d3762d395&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The liar and the liars would falsely have you believe that there was no crime in Alberta before the immigrants came..

Now it is the home of drug pushers, car thieves, white collar criminals. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The majority of Albertan citizens should resign, for supporting MP   Richardson’s views, it is clear that 70 percent of Albertan are not only self centered, selfish, but yes racists as well.. while Albertan’s claim to be Albertan most of them are new immigrants from other part of Canada, the world, including the Prime Minister of Canada now himself, Stephen Harper, and they  all in greed mostly have come to Alberta seeking jobs because of Alberta oil  and gas supplies.. but few get rich for the cost of living is too high.. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;see also&lt;br /&gt;http://postedat.wordpress.com/2008/06/27/how-many-rich-people-in-calgary-edmonton-alberta/&lt;br /&gt;http://postedat.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/a-blatant-tax-on-the-motorist-speed-cameras/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/canadas-election-not-as-interesting-as-the-one-in-the-us/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/misapplications-of-the-laws-in-canada/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/?s=RCMP&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/bullies-free-speech/ &lt;br /&gt;http://postedat.wordpress.com/2008/10/12/the-bad-bad-rcmp/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2008/10/liars-or-alcoholics.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32296879-3819068394167497420?l=thenonconformer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/3819068394167497420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/3819068394167497420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2008/10/pretender-stephen-harper.html' title='THE PRETENDER- STEPHEN HARPER'/><author><name>paul kambulow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12775071324776228777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32296879.post-8574393574112289692</id><published>2008-10-13T08:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-13T08:46:31.191-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='US'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Elections'/><title type='text'>I am ashamed of the liberal Americans</title><content type='html'>FOR NO WONDER IT IS STILL TOO OFTEN CALLED DIRTY POLITICS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Sarah Palin, John McCain discuss negatives against Obama, Bilden , it is all supposedly lies and slanders, but when the Liberals, Democrats, Biden, Obama say their negatives against against the other two  it is supposedly all fair game.. my how unbelievably perverted, and double standard. An unacceptable  fact I have even shared often before too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I’ve been hearing for a while now the common theme that  the McCain/Palin camp is supposedly inciting racism, hatred and violence. See http://caffinequeen.wordpress.com/2008/10/08/newest-obamacrat-talking-point/  for more on this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has even been “proclaimed” that Mac and his supporters are trying to get someone to assassinate The One. ( Obama)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve read and heard many say that the anger expressed by supporters at McCain/Palin events is “out of control rage and racism” and that supposedly McCain isn’t doing enough to stop it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I cannot believe the people who tell me they are not at all concerned about Obama’s radical associates, his connection to foreign and domestic terrorists, his ties to ACORN (Yes he IS tied to ACORN in a very big way), his affection for radical religious leaders like Rev. Wright, Father Phleger, Louis Farrakkan and more. Mostly radical religious leaders who peddle hate speech as sermons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only that but these are the same people (Obamabots) who have posted things on The Daily Kos and even the Official DNC website not only advocating but in some cases out right calling for physical and/or sexual violence against Hillary Clinton and many of these hateful posts are still on display for all to see while any reference to anything not positive about The One is immediately deleted and the user(s) banned and admonished as haters and racists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This from the campaign that told supporters “I want you to get in their face”, and “if they bring a knife then we’ll bring a gun”. The wonderful candidate who has blogs from his supporters on his own website demanding that they commit to making sure Obama got the nomination “by any means necessary” and the same supporters who have written numerous blogs and essays about how “violence and rioting will ensue” if Obama is not the next president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This from the guy that went to Kenya on the taxpayers’ dime to campaign for his cousin Ralia Odinga. You know the guy that lost his first attempt at power and incited race riots, ethnic cleansing and general chaos afterward claiming that the election was “stolen” from him though it was clearly not. The guy who won his second attempt in large part because of those tactics and the fact that he basicly bought the support of radical muslims by promising to install Sharia Law. The cousin who took notes from Obama on how to do this. If you don’t beleive me read up on Odinga. Or you can watch this video. http://caffinequeen.wordpress.com/2008/10/11/the-newest-bs-obama-talking-point-and-why-its-bs/       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously these Obama supporters have been the nastiest, the rudest, the most hateful and violent I have ever encountered in an election cycle. They will threaten, stalk, hack whatever it takes to suppress any views other than their own. I have heard of more death threats and threats of violence and various reprisals from Obama supporters than should ever be allowed and yet I have not once seen him try to reign them in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well , he did say that the families were off limits after his supporters and his official surrogates had already been smearing Sarah Palin and her children for a week or so. It’s easy to speak out after the damage is done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly telling the truth is racist and hateful. I had one message from an Obama supporter saying that she did not care one bit about his relationship with Bill Ayers and she wouldn’t care even if he were still doing the despicable things he did back then. It would have absolutely no effect on her decision making!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Anyone who doesn’t care if the candidate they want to see in the white house has friendships with terrorists really isn’t smart enough to vote. Sorry but there it is.   Seriously does this guy have even one friend or associate that is not either a criminal, a terrorist, a radical hate monger or a far-left nutjob? Not even one normal friend?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many of us would have this number of anti-American leaning friends? All we hear from camp Obama is how he’s the poor widdle victim of hate and racism and the mean old republicans are trying to kill him! (Sorry for the tweety bird speak I just can’t help it)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever notice no matter what happens or who says or does what Obama attacks then claims he is attacked. he is always the “victim” and those of us who love America and democracy are always the “bullies”. Funny because if you look around you won’t see threats from Hillary Clinton supporters or from McCain/Palin supporters.

Obama supporters opposed any references to him being Muslim, but they clearly  still falsely don’t object to smearing Sarah Palin’s Christian beliefs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “Bilden is not qualified to be one heart-beat away from the Presidency&lt;br /&gt;http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/10/04/sarah-palin-said-barack-obama-off-base/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/palin-attacks-obama/&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;“ALL BULLIES CLEARLY SHOW THAT THEY PERSONALLY STILL DO HAVE NO LOVE AND CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS, A DISRESPECT FOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS, BULLYING IS A SERIOUS MANNER AND SHOULDN’T BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. NAME CALLING IS ALSO A BIG PART OF BULLYING AND IS A FALSE ATTEMPT TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE WHO DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU FEEL LIKE THEY ARE WORTHLESS AND STUPID. “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mat 7:3 KJV) And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mat 7:4 KJV) Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mat 7:5 KJV) Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amos 5:10 They hate him who reproves in the [city] gate [holding him as an abomination and rejecting his rebuke], and they abhor him who speaks uprightly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No doubt about it the news media and the liberals, Democrats brought the subject of religion, Christianity, Pentecostalism, Fundamentalism, Evangelism, Catholics, IRS into the elections discussions, and why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for it seems they do not like any others to be more moral than they are.. that is very easy it seems too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Now let us try still to separate the truth, fact from fiction, theories, slanders, lies, libels as well . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the unreputable News media, Liberals and democrats lie that “Palin descends into the gutter” but telling the truth about their pet idol Obama is not allowed, how all hypocritical for them too still too… clearly an unacceptable double standard.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  am really not interested in mere  personal false bashes, lies, slanders, even mere  opinions on any religions, persons.. unrelated to the US politics and not detailed, substantiated too.  I try to stay with the truth, reputable facts, not unsubstantiated personal opinions by even gangsters.. I rightfully try to separate the meat from the bones, the facts from fiction, and so should we all.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone has an opinion, theory, too often  unproven substantiated, and too often they do listen  to the devil and his lies now too. You should know by now that everything you read, hear in the newspaper, on the net, even in the church is not  necessarily  true. You need to use your own judgments to evaluate it all still too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; here in the reply posts you will see clear examples of the bad acts of one too many of them too..&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;My neighbor   told me that the people who have to continually make personal bashes on others are really now trying to divert   others from looking at their own viablw weakness, shortcomings, failures, NS  they are so personally really conscious of IT,   they THUS FALSEY next use this diversionist approach which still does not change what is wrong with them personally now still too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what is really wrong with then Bullies, Basher that they  have to continually bash any others? Did their  own parents reject them too? or wife or who else?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pentecostal they are not a sect, They are real practicing Christians.. one of the fastest growing denominations world wide too&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LARGEST Religions in the United States, 2004&lt;br /&gt;Christianity 224,437,959&lt;br /&gt;Nonreligious/Secular 38,865,604&lt;br /&gt;Judaism 3,995,371&lt;br /&gt;Islam 1,558,068&lt;br /&gt;Buddhism 1,527,019&lt;br /&gt;Agnostic 1,398,592&lt;br /&gt;Atheist 1,272,986&lt;br /&gt;Hinduism 1,081,051&lt;br /&gt;Unitarian Universalist 887,703&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NO WONDER THE CHRISTIANS IN THE US INFLUENCE POLITICS SO HEAVILY STILL TOO.

Real truth too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These Democrat. Liberal bashers  they  continue to show merely to all their  lack of spiritually, bigotry, slander to all rather and no wonder so many decent Christians do not also go along with their wrongful Sarah Palin bashes AND THEY NEVER WILL TOO. I sadly have often also met  these childish, immature, Bible illiterate, Unspiritual persons.of course the devil wants others to play by his ever changing rules, facts too, and as per the supposed need of any separation of the church and state and how really hypocritical is this still when the devil himself refers to Sarah Palin and her church, her beliefs, her religion now and that is a clear demonic rule now too that cannot ever be enforced in reality ..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;any man or women who separates his political life from religion has no morals..  and that is what the devil likes,&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;the Liberals and the others do not like moral references, the Bible to be pointed out, they prefer wrongfully their own lies, slanders and who knows now what garbage next as well..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not play by the devil or other’s man made rules as well all should know by now..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these reply I feel like I am talking to the devil more, than just to likely one of his representatives..  but even the devil seems too like still to refer to the rules, the Bible, he clearly does also not read or practice.. nor the truth..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://postedat.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/dirtied-politics/&lt;br /&gt;http://mccainvrsobama.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/mccain-versus-obama-hot-free-speech/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://fubarmedia.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/palin-speech/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;see also http://cadillactight.wordpress.com/2008/10/12/state-run-media/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://postedat.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/the-false-supression-of-free-speech/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32296879-8574393574112289692?l=thenonconformer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/8574393574112289692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/8574393574112289692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-am-ashamed-of-liberal-americans.html' title='I am ashamed of the liberal Americans'/><author><name>paul kambulow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12775071324776228777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32296879.post-5243568206948421240</id><published>2008-10-01T09:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T10:28:37.158-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stephen Harper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'>Liars or Alcoholics</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GmV-nGAUd5c/SOOgFMKk5pI/AAAAAAAAB-o/OIH2kC3qoEg/s1600-h/1+(2).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GmV-nGAUd5c/SOOgFMKk5pI/AAAAAAAAB-o/OIH2kC3qoEg/s320/1+(2).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252217601469507218" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us seem to have a really bad habit of electing liars, electing the people who tell us what we want to hear, AND MANY OF THEM ARE LIARS WHO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK WE WANT TO HEAR SO THEY CAN BE ELECTED.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now with the upcoming election this week I was asked by my neighbors what Political party  would I NOW vote for. Now that still really required some work on my part to find out.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now it  would it no be really great if we now had really next  elected decent, qualified, non alcoholic persons as well  who really care more than just about the job, about being hired, the money, winning, the office prestige and  if now we did elect  a genuine, good, adequate politician rather instead  who  really did care  about the good welfare of the people in the riding in reality.. AND WOULD    WORK ON THEIR BEHALF MAINLY AND NOT INSTEAD FOR THEIR OWN OR THEIR PARTY’S BENEFIT MAINLY.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now here’s a basic secret I have learned, how they  the political candidates, and their receptionists now do treat me now is generally how they do also next generally treat the others, and so once again,  as I have often done that before too, I thus had decided to visit firsthand some of the local political candidates, to specially visit their campaign office in our riding.. after all I was honestly trying to determine who  I would vote for.. all I do is say hello, watch and listen as to how they respond, and I do evaluate what they do say too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And many of you all already know that after my last week  run in in my own home with a bad local  Conservative candidate representative , who also is just another false spin doctor, and  bad control freak, for certainty now I would not vote for  them or recommend them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So next the first federal political candidate I visited  the one who was the closest one on my journey, Liberal, and she also now happened to be in, and she welcomed me personally, but within a short while it became very clear to me she only mainly cared about winning over the others, and she only cared about what I could do for her, not what she could do for me or the people in her riding  but now I certainly could not vote thus for her in honesty too. We really do not need another imposter, pretender, figure head in office.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So next I visited an independent Candidate, and it next  turns out he was apparently a  formal party reject, there must have been good reason why the leader of that party supposedly did not approve of him as a candidate, even though he had supposedly worked for the same party  for 25 years now. The receptionist said to me that I should wait now till he would be back, very shortly and he would like to talk to me. An hour later she phoned him and he was really too busy to see me , but his sister, one of his main campaign workers had now showed up, and she also was not interested in talking to me, she too made it clear she had no use for me, all she wanted was to win.. a loser not a winner.. so he too was not getting my support.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;How come these people do not understand that a personal referral is one the best way to win.. for the costly advertising is very ineffective still.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The next Green party Candidate I reviewed she admitted she was only a part timer, she was doing politics part time because she had a main interest in having a financially successful career.. and we do not need that kind of prostitute in office now too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yes it seems I would really still regret if any of these persons would be elected next. We have had enough political  losers already. It is hard to determine the best, right candidate for me in my area.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Canada's  Conservative PM Stephen Harper is the biggest hypocrite, liar himself.. he claimed to be an evangelical Christian  who follows Jesus good teachings but he lies,  bashes, slanders, abuses others.. really acts more like the devil for certainty..  and what happened to his promises of full transparency and accountability ..  he would not apply it to his own party members too often  .. and he as an abstainer evangelical drinks alcohol now too..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Reality! These days it is too hard to tell the difference between secular persons and  the professing Christians . Genuine Born Again Evangelical Christians are total abstainers from smoking, drugs, alcohol, cheating, lying, stealing, tax evasions, pornography, or rather all personal vices, Impairments http://thefocusonthefamily.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/abstainers/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The major undeniable  weakness, weakness, discrepancies, shortfall in the soft underbelly of  the personal life of Barrack Obama and even Canada's prime Minister Stephen Harper is clear, and  is that already   proven  too, that there is a wide discrepancy between what he verbally says he is and  who he really is now and  and what he in fact still next does. Even now starting clearly with his profession of being a real practicing Christian. Barack Obama for continuity he is not a real practicing Christian and he undeniably has violated God laws continually, and there is no excuse for it.. While it is often a thorny issue, discussion in the Christian faith, amongst the protestants and evangelicals whether Christians drinking wine is tolerate now, the Bible in both the old and new testament clearly and undeniably still  says that anyone in a leadership position cannot consume wine, alcohol or get drunk. This is not even subject even to any debate now as well. Both Obama and Bilden do undeniably drink alcohol now.. and what about McCain and Palin now  too?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again ““Dr. Daniel Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary has written an article in favor of the famous Resolution #5 (Resolution calling for total opposition to alcohol). Alcohol is the number one drug problem among teenagers. (1 Cor. 8:13; 9:19-22; 10:32-33). Because I am an example to others, I will make certain no one ever walks the road of sorrow called alcoholism because they saw me take a drink and assumed, “if it is alright for him it is alright for me.” No, I will choose to set an uncompromising example of abstinence because I love them.  I will seek my joy and filling in the Spirit not in alcohol. I love the Phillips translation of Ephesians 5:18 which reads, “Don’t get your stimulus from wine (for there is always the danger of excessive drinking), but let the Spirit stimulate your souls.” Psalm 4:7-8 adds, “You [O Lord] have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”  There is no record that Jesus drank strong drink,  As a pastor or church leader, would I demand abstinence for  leadership? Absolutely! The principle of Proverbs 31:4-5 is appropriately applied here, “It is not for Kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.” “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1 Cor 11:28 KJV)  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30   For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Prov 3:33 KJV)  The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus himself had said that professing to be a Christian is not enough,  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt 3:8 Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart];&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gal 5:23 Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt 7:16 You will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?17 Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit. 18 A good (healthy) tree cannot bear bad (worthless) fruit, nor can a bad (diseased) tree bear excellent fruit [worthy of admiration].  19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 20 Therefore, you will fully know them by their fruits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bible’s suggestions on electing rulers.. good managers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Deu 1:13 KJV) Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.&lt;br /&gt;(Deu 1:14 KJV) And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.&lt;br /&gt;(Deu 1:15 KJV) So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.&lt;br /&gt;(Deu 1:16 KJV) And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.&lt;br /&gt;(Deu 1:17 KJV) Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.&lt;br /&gt;(Deu 1:18 KJV) And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1 Tim 3:1 KJV) This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.&lt;br /&gt;(1 Tim 3:2 KJV) A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;&lt;br /&gt;(1 Tim 3:3 KJV) Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;&lt;br /&gt;(1 Tim 3:4 KJV) One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;&lt;br /&gt;(1 Tim 3:5 KJV) (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)&lt;br /&gt;(1 Tim 3:6 KJV) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.&lt;br /&gt;(1 Tim 3:7 KJV) Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Tim 3:2 Now a bishop (superintendent, overseer) must give no grounds for accusation {but} must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, circumspect {and} temperate {and} self-controlled ( Sober) ; [he must be] sensible {and} well behaved {and} dignified and lead an orderly (disciplined) life; [he must be] hospitable [showing love for and being a friend to the believers, especially strangers or foreigners, and be] a capable {and} qualified teacher,&lt;br /&gt;Alcoholics, wine drinkers, smokers, drug users too they all  tend to have evidentially lost their self control..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Undeniably whether you are also a leader or not getting drunk is still an unacceptable sin as well. And all true Christians consider this still a sinful act&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Obama amongst some others  reiterated his support for civil unions for homosexuals. No surprise there. Some Christians   do indeed allow for the conferring of some legal rights, short of marital status, on gays as a simple matter of fairness. We cannot legislate or enforce morality. Nevertheless all true Christians consider this a sinful act But I suspect his rationale raised some hackles. "If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans". Barrack Obama. Since when did Romans 1 become obscure? I thought pitting the words of Jesus against those of Paul was a tactic of Red Letter Christians, not something a serious candidate for the Oval Office would engage in.There is no refererence to gay civil unions in the Sermon on the Mount (unless you stretch the Golden Rule beyond all recognition).

This time around, starting June 2 and running through the months leading up to the campaign kickoff, the Conservative government itself pledged $15 billion. http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/canadavotes/news/2008/09/14/6759361-sun.html&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"We've been promised things before." by Harper and many of his promises were not kept ..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"‘Keep them out!’ Mounties stop media from asking Tory questions 19 minutes ago&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;OTTAWA — It’s a blurry, democratically dangerous no-man’s-land that governments and RCMP spokespeople do not like to publicly explore. The line between legitimate RCMP security duties and the media management imperatives of a politically sensitive Prime Minister’s Office appeared to be scuffed once again this week on the election trail. Mounties protecting Prime Minister Stephen Harper during a campaign event in Surrey, B.C., were ordered Tuesday evening to stop reporters from approaching a high-profile Tory candidate. “Keep them out,” Harper aide Ray Novak shouted at the RCMP security detail as journalists approached Dona Cadman. CTV’s Rosemary Thompson was literally yanked aside by one Mountie as she approached the retreating group - which did not include the prime minister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cadman, a Conservative candidate, is famous for sparking bribery allegations against her party by telling a journalist last year that her dying husband, former Reform and Independent MP Chuck Cadman, claimed to have been offered a million-dollar insurance policy to change his vote in Parliament. It’s an unresolved storyline the Conservatives, understandably, don’t want pursued during an election campaign. Cadman, who has dodged questions from the national media before in the campaign, told a local community newspaper Wednesday she’s concentrating on her own back yard. “We’re talking to the local media, which is much more important than going national or regional,” she said. The incident followed an earlier episode in the campaign’s first week when the RCMP was employed to thwart a CTV camera crew in St. Eustache, Que., on the day the Tories suspended campaign spokesman Ryan Sparrow. “I want that camera out of there,” Harper spokeswoman Carolyn Stewart Olsen told a Mountie, who somewhat apologetically obliged. But is it within the RCMP’s mandate to stop the media from doing its job?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Several officers matter-of-factly said they were acting on orders from the PMO - although the official RCMP line, delivered after the incident became a major media story, was that hotel management sought the eviction. Many on Parliament Hill believe the PMO’s use of RCMP security to thwart reporters has increased under a Harper government that is obsessed with communications control. Stories abound, for instance, of security officers stopping camera cut-away shots from non-PMO-approved positions. But the most infamous case of RCMP deploying its resources for essentially communications reasons came under the watch of former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien at the 1997 APEC summit in Vancouver. An inquiry into the pepper-spraying of protesters concluded that the Mounties had “succumbed to government influence and intrusion in an area where such influence and intrusion were inappropriate.” Testimony at the inquiry suggested government officials were consumed with the poor optics of large demonstrations. “By whatever educational or other communications means available, the RCMP must instill in its officers … that they are to brook no intrusion or interference whatever from government officials,” inquiry commissioner Ted Hughes concluded. It would appear to be an inquiry forgotten not just by the Mounties and current government, but by the Liberals in opposition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Liberal campaign war-room issued a news release Wednesday decrying Tory heavy-handedness. “The job of the RCMP is not to prevent the Conservative party from being embarrassed,” said the Liberal party release. “They are there to protect the prime minister against genuine physical threats and they should never be used as a political tool.” http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5g6YesTXAYfsanGLSDxXgDxHF_vWw&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We already know what a liar, dictator, control freak  the PM is..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Someone representing the  Conservative Party of Canada came to my home today, note to my home, and said to me he was here to get me to vote for Stephen Harper and the Conservatives. He next had refused to answer any of my questions firstly.  I had asked him if it was true that Stephen Harper gave bottles of wine and wine glasses to the Prime Minister of Australia. I asked him also if he Stephen Harper professes to be an evangelical Christian of the Christian Missionary Alliance Church now too? No answer. I asked him how could a born again professing evangelical like Stephen Harper be giving out alcohol to others when it is clearly a historical, general, accepted biblical fact that fundamental evangelicals are abstainers and do not drink wine, alcohol now? The Canadian federal Conservative Party supporter he lied and said that what I said about Stephen Harper was not true. Stephen Harper was good person. The Conservative party supporter he next started to lecture me as to how and what I there could and could not talk about now to him . I next told him that he was standing on my property falsely lecturing me, dictating to me  as to what I cannot  talk about, what I cannot do even in my own home,  dream on! I asked him directly was  he now also   another despotic dictator like the established fact, behavior of the prime minister of Canada, Stephen Harper. He the  clearly red necked Conservative party supporter then turned red with embracement and rudely said he has to leave and immediately departed with his tail between his legs without still  answering one question of mine to him too.  He the Conservative party supporter wants me to support this bad political Conservative party now when I see firsthand how he  even lies, abused me in my own home too? Dream on.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;3 of my neighbors I had talked with directly today said they would vote for none of the parties for they are all equally bad, even those who had voted Conservative before too&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;see also&lt;br /&gt; http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/canadas-election-not-as-interesting-as-the-one-in-the-us/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/prime-minister-sets-our-watchdogs-on-the-press/&lt;br /&gt;http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/bullies-free-speech/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I have often said, asked that they should in fairness not discriminate and investigate not just all of the civil, public servants, politicians, in reality but also all the pastors, evangelists, preachers and annual now fairly in all of the denominations not just a few Pentecostal ones  even for alcoholism, drug usage,  possible tax evasions, abuse of donated funds, lies, slander.. but it never will happen sadly.. too many politicians who are likely just as bad will likely suppress it all firstly too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hospitality tab at Passport Canada costs taxpayers $16,800: document   OTTAWA - Senior cabinet minister Peter MacKay approved a $16,800 hospitality bill for a group of civil servants in an apparent bending of government rules, a newly disclosed document shows while Federal rules strictly govern hospitality expenses, especially when food and drink are provided free to civil servants.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/whats-wrong-with-insisting-that-visitors-to-government-offices-arent-drunk/&lt;br /&gt;and now make that also government employees&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;see also http://postedat.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/lies-slander-personal-defamation-on-the-net-be-warned/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32296879-3694094366112373473?l=thenonconformer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/3694094366112373473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32296879/posts/default/3694094366112373473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenonconformer.blogspot.com/2008/09/canada-election-2008.html' title='Canada election 2008'/><author><name>paul kambulow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12775071324776228777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32296879.post-2059290965251292248</id><published>2008-09-11T09:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T10:31:02.627-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Canada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Election 2008'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liars'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bell'/><title type='text'>Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper</title><content type='html'>Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canada's new Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, one step forward and two steps backwards,  has too often  shown he will do anything to cling to power, he cannot be trusted to keep his promises. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, supposedly weary of waiting for the opposition to bring down his minority government, broke  his own promises of a fixed election date and pulled the election plug himself Sunday to end 31 months of the new Conservative rule.  This move sends Canadians to the polls for the third time in four years. And they likely will return anyway another new minority government but anyway it will be good to see some of the present pretentious, useless federal cabinet Ministers and their associates lose their jobs.. especially all those friends they had hired now and had lying said they would not too.. so what else is new. As you can see by many many internet posts, I for one have dealt with many of them, and they were almost all clearly useless, pretentious, inadequate..  the Conservatives are known to be liars, not just alcoholics? Against the backdrop of a clearly weakening economy, Harper asked Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean to dissolve Canada's 39th Parliament so that a national vote can be held Oct. 14 -- the day after Thanksgiving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we all do need to be reminded of what we are not thankful for.. the too often more broken promises by liars for we still seem to elect Liars into office, and I hope we can break this tradition soon! And please do stop electing the clearly pretend Christians now as well for Prime Ministers too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;While far better than he used to be at retail politics (glad-handing, cocktail party small talk, burger flipping, one-on-ones in strip mall parking lots and so on), Harper still looks mildly inconvenienced when out on the hustings.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=bd165f79-f2ae-430a-84e1-3dbf8e2db45b &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;so you mean he is better and happier when he is giving our alcohol  to his alcoholic buddies too?&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The Conservative government announced just over $19-billion of pledges in the past three months before the Prime Minister, Stephen Harper,&lt;br /&gt;sounds rightfully like more bribery, corruptions to me..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; A bar tenderer and he professes to be an evangelical Christian? who are supposed to be abstainers, so  you cannot believe anything you hear from politicians now theses days especially the new Conservative ones in Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was sitting in one of the biggest, &lt;br /&gt;most established evangelical churches in Canada &lt;br /&gt;for the first time..&lt;br /&gt;and surprisingly next I heard Jesus say to me,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;” Paul what are you doing here?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;shocked I said in reply” I am worshipping in your house?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; and Jesus replied to me and said&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;” but these are the rich who persecute the poor people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so I ask you again what are you doing here?:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Embarrassed I shortly next left&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and never came back to this bad church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yet the people in that church were proud of their church,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;their accomplishments..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; it too was rather a rich man’s social club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and not a real church..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND IT WAS in the Calgary First  Christian Missionary Alliance Church, Stephen's Harper's church too&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;All democracy  is supposed to separate church and state ??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;since when.. the lie the devil tells you.. only liars, perverse, immoral liberals can pass and enforce laws.. dream on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right wing evangelicals, pentecostals now have the same rights, free speech too as any of the others&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there was even a Roman emperor who was a professing Christian&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the Church and secular state persons will be separate only in Hell..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good people work within the system to try to make it better..  and not worse...

It indicated that a wave of support that seemed to be building for the Conservatives may have ebbed a little when compared with results of the previous survey, taken Thursday to Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The surveys are conducted daily, with three-day running tallies comprising a poll of 1,325 Canadians. The results appeared on The Globe's website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; http://ca.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idCAN0935266120080910&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do see also &lt;a href="http://thewoodlawnreview.wordpress.com/"&gt;http://thewoodlawnreview.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United States Republican Sarah Palin vice president nominee is not spelled Plain at all&lt;br /&gt;http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/09/08/wonder-woman-sarah-palin/&lt;br /&gt; http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/09/07/prophetic-utterances-republican-sarah-palin/&lt;br /&gt;As far as I am concerned a Women can be a Church Pastor if she has her husband's permission.. and even  the vice president of the United States, or a President.

And what a reputation for a self  professing Evangelical Christian now to have, known to be a liar, to be just as bad as most of  the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is true that instead of being “relevant,” Stephen Harper has an infatuation with power, prestige, position, possessions, and prominence, instead of being a “servant  of the people  ”   Kick him out and his bad associates gladly now too.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Many persons, including " Dion and Duceppe accused Harper of "panicking," fabricating excuses to call an election before Conservative electoral prospects worsen during the fall.&lt;br /&gt;"This prime minister is panicking, inventing reasons to call an election and break his word," Dion said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the factors that could sap Tory support this fall are a weakening economy and further parliamentary inquiries into alleged Conservative wrongdoing in the Cadman affair and financing irregularities during the 2006 election campaign. As well, Julie Couillard is slated to release a book detailing how her relationship with Maxime Bernier led to his resignation as foreign affairs minister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, should Democrat Barack Obama win the U.S. presidential race in November, the afterglow could help boost Liberal prospects in Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dion also suggested that Harper wants to pre-empt the byelections because he knows the Tories won't win any of them - a suggestion that Harper dismissed as "foolish" and akin to "someone being concerned about a paper cut and setting themselves on fire as a consequence." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5jFxzeM7zpCGhxKsRMBHu5Kp1VNGw&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that child porn would be unique in this regard: police regularly overstate the value of drugs and cigarettes they seize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While most of the Police according to some persons  are supposedly upstanding members willing to respect Canada’s constitutional history, some are clearly not, in fact they are in reality too often racists, cause they are admittedly mostly white persons still too,   and in the end one rotten apple will spoil the rest anyway.   And most police work in is necessarily done in secret and with no full oversight thus with the rise of para-militarism in Canadian police forces and the rapidly growing false police disdain of any civilian oversight I also do rightfully think it is dangerous to simply to leave the police alone or even to  take what the police say at face value –I would severely discipline any police  subordinate who broke the rules of engagements, rules of fairness, respect, decency,  and  we all should even seek discipline against any  superior who did so too. Why would we allow any police member to get away with now still too?    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The RCMP is supposedly now aggressively tackling organized crime in B.C too.  According to the RCMP Public relationship propaganda department too,  because if they the RCMP now did not write a report about it,  it all now still would not be obvious to most people who wonder what the cops are even doing now most of the time, besides giving out money generating traffic traffic tickets,  the report does not  indicate the number of  bad people actually successfully prosecuted each year for the millions of dollars already spend on the related police man-hours now too? nor  does the same RCMP report indicate the cost of the useless police enforcement per year in comparison now to the actual successful prosecutions?   The police Canada wide now also would like you to believe that less people are getting caught for drunk driving now as well,  even though the number of people getting drunk, becoming impaired is increasing each year too, but the accuracy of the police report now itself depends on whether the police do even bother to try to catch  the drunk drivers  or where they still  they are too busy writing the traffic tickets for speeding. even though speeding still is not a major cause of car accidents to start of with too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday, 22 August 2008   The Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC) released the 2008 report on organized crime today in Montreal. Sgt. Tim Shields of the RCMP in B.C. made the following comments regarding organized crime in this province: “In British Columbia, the illicit marihuana industry alone is estimated at $6 billion per year. This figure does not include revenue from the sale of crystal meth, cocaine and heroin, and from identity theft, credit card fraud, prostitution, gun smuggling, human trafficking, and money laundering — all of which are traditional activities for organized crime groups. But even more alarming is the violent crime associated to organized crime such as shootings in public places, kidnappings and the murders of innocent people. “Members of organized crime groups are not law abiding citizens — they don’t play by the rules our communities live by. Their greed supersedes all the laws and values that we as a society embrace. Normal law-abiding citizens consider the impact of their behaviors and actions; these people don’t. They think nothing of selling drugs to our children, taking advantage of our elderly or opening fire in our neighbourhoods.  “What are police doing about it? In B.C. - a great deal. Today there are more than 17 police units and government agencies actively working together to combat organized crime.  If you are aware of organized crime activities, call your local police,  call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.  Calling the police can too often be a waste of time cause they the police too often still are even falsely selective as to the type of work next that they are willing to undertake    and they might  next ask you to freely   help to  do their own paid Jobs, and yes  the same that they are being paid for !    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Read the various spins  even on the very subject, some news reporters tell the truth, others tell gross lies still.. see it for yourself too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MONTREAL -- Ontario's ombudsman said he has zero confidence in the Surete du Quebec's ability to impartially investigate the fatal shooting by Montreal police of a young Latino man last week. Quebec's practice of having one police force investigate another is outdated and should be replaced by an independent civilian body that would oversee incidents in which a member of the public is seriously injured or killed by an officer, he said. Andre Marin said it is outrageous that the SQ, the provincial police force, waited almost a week before talking to the two Montreal police officers involved in the shooting. "When police investigate police ... there is favouritism in the investigation," Mr. Marin told The Montreal Gazette's editorial board on Monday. "It was seen right away in this case when they failed to interview the witness officer immediately." Mr. Marin said investigating police often use the trauma "card" and say they are giving the officer time to compose him or herself. "It is completely bogus," he said of that practice, adding that it gives the officers time to consult union lawyers. In Ontario, a police witness would have been required to give a statement to the province's civilian Special Investigations Unit within 24 hours of a police shooting. Ontario's Special Investigations Unit was established in 1990 after a rash of police shootings of young black men in Toronto in the late 1980s, Mr. Marin was director of Ontario's Special Investigations Unit between 1996 and 1998. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=732206&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So clearly , useless pretentious Prime Minister Stephen Harper  and clearly , useless pretentious security minister  Stockwell Day tell me what good are you doing here too.. or are you again even still falsely  sleeping with the bad guys to get their support?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that child porn would be unique in this regard: police regularly overstate the value of drugs and cigarettes they seize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disturbing arrest Winnipeg Sun -  By CHRIS KITCHING, SUN MEDIA Winnipeg police detectives are using a new computer program to sort more quickly through child porn collections -- including one allegedly belonging to a 22-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting his two stepsisters ...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Digital tool helps police deal with child porn investigations CBC.ca&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New software is allowing Winnipeg police to use automated image matching to cut down the amount of time officers have to spend looking at child pornography.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Winnipeg force has seized several million images and videos of children being sexually abused since its internet child exploitation unit was launched in 2001.In the past, investigators were forced to view each photograph or video individually to identify potential victims and categorize the images for court purposes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new software, which the force has been testing for more than a year, allows police to "fingerprint" and categorize known images of child abuse, then store them in a database.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The database currently includes about 12 million image "fingerprints," which are matched against newly seized, uncategorized images, thereby reducing the officers' exposure to much of the horrifying material.&lt;br /&gt;New software cracks down on child sex abuse CTV.ca&lt;br /&gt;Winnipeg Free Press - CJOB - Winnipeg Sun - Winnipeg Free Press&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; all 30 news articles »&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile  a Liberal too, Ont.

They're using everything from Facebook to YouTube to Wikipedia to blogs to get their message out. They want the government to either scrap or make serious amendments to Bill C-61 when Parliament resumes next month.  At the helm of the digital movement is Michael Geist, a professor at the University of Ottawa who specializes in Internet and e-commerce law. In addition to his own blog, Geist runs a Facebook group called Fair Copyright for Canada that boasts 90,000 members.  The group, which was created in December, has become so large that members have created local chapters by city and riding to better organize their efforts. Many of the local groups have also developed wikis - online encyclopedic web pages - to keep their members informed.    Geist said more Canadians are getting involved because they recognize how the proposed reforms could affect their daily lives.  "We're talking about more than just copyright here. We're talking about the digital environment," he said. "This legislation represents a real threat to the vibrancy of that online environment."  Industry Minister Jim Prentice introduced the bill in June, calling it a "made-in-Canada" solution to online piracy. But critics responded that the bill was a carbon copy of the American Digital Millennium Copyright Act.  If passed, Bill C-61 would make it illegal to circumvent "digital locks" on CDs and DVDs and impose a $500 fine on anyone caught downloading illegal copies of music or movies.  Geist also launched a video contest on YouTube inviting Canadians to give their thoughts on Bill C-61 in 61 seconds. A panel of five judges, including Ontario Privacy Commissioner Anne Cavoukian, will announce the winner on Sept. 15 - the day MPs return to the House of Commons.  An Industry Canada spokeswoman said Prentice is interested to see the number of Canadians involved in the online discussions, but it's up to Parliament to study the issue further.  "The activity online proves that a broad range of stakeholders, with varying interests and vantage points, care deeply about this issue," said Stefanie Power, in an email response.  The movement isn't confined to the digital world. The online protests have spurred offline activism.  Kempton Lam, a business consultant from Calgary, used his blog and Facebook to organize a rally outside a breakfast hosted by Prentice last month. Lam said the online discussions have fuelled potential activists.  "There are so many Canadians that have issues will this bill," he said. "And the online forum has helped us get informed, which leads to offline rallies.  "After we meet, members write about what we learned, post videos back on to the blogs and Facebook group."  Members of the online movement are also trying to make their voices heard through letter-writing campaigns and one-on-one meetings with local MPs. &lt;br /&gt;Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal held a town hall meeting last month to discuss the controversial legislation after his office was flooded with letters from concerned constituents.  It's not the first time this digital community has bared its teeth. The Conservative government was slated to introduce the reforms in December but delayed the bill after heavy criticism flooded the blogosphere.  Geist said he is optimistic that the activism will make a difference.  "When you get tens of thousands of Canadians speaking out like this, there's big political risk for any political party who chooses to ignore it," he warned.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Just what Stephen Harper and the Liberals need ..

There there is no church to join now as well, I merely try to tell the whole honest truth, positive and negative ones, even about politics, religion or what ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;One of the most disturbing thing about Bell Sympatico, besides the fact they are big liars, who do not disclose the full truth to the customers before or after,  is the issue of the customer's individual Service profile continually reset by Bell itself.. and the customer's profile varies with customer to customer,   it is critical too for  it determines the customer's actual internet download and upload speed that Bell next delivers to the customer. I am sure Bell will use this same approach with their iphones service now  too. While all residential customers may pay the same amount for a high speed download service from BELL in reality they do not even get the same download and upload capacities. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Do see also http://witnessed.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/this-next-was-so-predictable-even-by-me-too/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"My internet connection has been re-profiled 4 times that I know of since I signed up. On initial installation I was getting a 3 meg profile. I submitted a support ticket via the Acanac website and was pleasantly surprised to have my connection re-profiled to a 4 meg connection. That lasted 2 weeks then Bell re-profiled me to a 2.5 Meg connection. That was infuriating so I submitted another ticket to have my connection re-profiled. I put that ticket in 2 months ago and my connection has gone from bad to worse. Recently I was re-profiled again down to a 1.7 meg internet connection. I have sent 3 emails about my connection and every time Acanac ( my sub contractor of Bell ISP) support tells me they will look into it or they say a tech will come out to fix it but nothing ever happens."&lt;br /&gt;http://www.dslreports.com/comments/2744?filter=neg&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What is a Profile, and why does Bell use profiles? Bell clearly is unable to meet all of the promised, advertised  customer speeds, customer's demands in many areas , even  in big cities too, because their line capacities are overcrowded, inadequate, or the lines have not been properly upgraded. So they Bell use their own determined profiles to set limit on the individual customer to hopefully be able to balance their own internet service supply lines.. so you can see why Bell and their lying spin doctors falsely oppose any regulations  for themselves.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;FULL ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY SHOULD APPLY TO BELL  new as well, not just to Stephen Harper, and his too many past unkept promises in this area now as well.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A great site to see also is http://www.p2pnet.net/&lt;br /&gt;http://www.p2pnet.net/story/16648&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Reader's Write Says:&lt;br /&gt;July 9th, 2008 at 10:29 am &lt;br /&gt;Enough is Enough!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don’t need parasites like Jim Prentice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let take this guy tar and feather him and through him out of the government may be even of Canada!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Message to Prentice:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prentice!
