Greetings My Dear Readers,

I come to you again from the Land of Not.  Life here in my pathetic barren land of so very little has been rather uneventful since my last post.  Although I welcome the quiet life that I have worked so hard to finally achieve, I find it unsettling as it feels more like the quiet before storm.  Face it folks, my track record speaks for itself…  so I doubt the quiet silence will last…

Economy Woes Persist

Our Economic Experts continue to assure us that the recession is over, yet the stock markets continue to tumble, the Job Markets are nothing short of pathetic and although our leaders boast big job creation rates what they don’t tell you is that the majority of these jobs are low paying casual or part time jobs that no one can ever hope to survive on.

A report released yesterday, Nov. 20 2009, says that Canadian Bankruptcy Rates have jumped 43% over the same time last year.  Along with these Bankruptcies, mortgage default rates continue to climb as hard working Canadian’s continue to lose their jobs as companies down size and/or lower wages just to survive, or go under all together.

Many Canadian’s who lost their jobs in the opening days of this Economic Collapse are now facing the loss of unemployment benefits as their U.I. begins to runs out, forcing them to fall even further down as the job markets remain bleak and they are left with little choice but to turn to the Welfare system now just to survive.

Unless things begin to turn around Canadians are going to have to stop listening to the lies of our leaders and get creative to survive in these hard economic times. 

Ontario School Bans Homework

One story that caught my eye this week was one out of Barrie, Ontario.  There a school took an unusual step and Banned teachers from assigning Homework.  Their studies say that this move has actually improved students marks.

Although I can see that this move would free up more time for students to pursue other interests and allow them more time to take part in extra curricular activities, thus cutting down on the stress and reducing possible burn out of students, there are many students that need the extra workload in order to grasp concepts that they may struggle with in the classroom.

A world without homework, is a happy place for students, but I worry that such a move would diminish the already weakened work ethic and personal discipline that we see all to often already in the young people of today and force our students to continue to fall even further behind their European and Asian counterparts, thus seriously reducing their chances of a successful future.

But destroying our future seems to be the ultimate goal of the short sighted, incompetent Morons that seem to lead the way these days.

Fun Links

The following links are some fun songs and video’s that I stumbled across in my random cyber travels.  My Male readers will enjoy these.  Female readers who lack a sense of humour may not find them so entertaining, but oh well…

I thought they were hilarious.
