Rise of Libertarianism in Canada?
Submitted by bizuns on Fri, 12/23/2011 - 02:41It is hard to argue that libertarianism making a come back in the US, big government advocates argue that it was free markets and deregulation that led to economic calamity but no matter how you splice it there was government involved all along. The social 'safety net' has become a much larger expense in both the US and Canada, but few are thrilled about what the systems offer. The bulk of Canadian electorate seems to be satisfied with the general state of things when compared to the rest of the world, but one could argue that less Canadians are in the, "well it can't happen to us", camp.

Tips for Wildrose party in Alberta
Submitted by bizuns on Thu, 12/15/2011 - 01:48Wildrose led by Danielle Smith is a relatively new creation in Alberta, Canada. Listening to some of Danielle's speeches it is quite encouraging to hear some of the not-so-old-fashioned ideas of reduced government bureaucracy that made Alberta a debt free (surplus) province. So far the Wildrose does not go overly negative on the PC party, but rather make pointed remarks to distinguish the differences in a fair way. But it will take more than a few PCs walking the floor and media coverage to overthrow the large centralized government ideas that have crept into the PC party.

So how is big government working in British Columbia?
Submitted by bizuns on Thu, 12/15/2011 - 01:00I read somewhere that B.C.'s Provincial debt is projected 35.8 billion dollars currently. Knowing that it is a more progressive province, I wondered a few years ago how things would pan out compared to the Ralph Klein government fiscal conservative approach. Now, they claim to have 'invested' that money into healthcare, education and "infrastructure" but most of what I hear is that there are no jobs, too many houses, and no real indication that their health or education system is any more solvent than the rest of Canada.

Ron Paul gives incredible interview with meet the press Oct 23, 2011
Submitted by bizuns on Sun, 10/23/2011 - 20:58MSNBC hardly gives Ron Paul the time of day, not truly responding to the points he puts back on the interviewer. But kudos to Meet the Press for giving the interview, I think the questions were fair and gave Ron Paul a perfect opportunity to explain his views.
MSNBC didn't obviously care about his comments poking fun at media getting caught up in the debate about who mows Romney's lawn, case and point the following video starts out talking about Romney's lawn mower.

Sustainable Healthcare Made in Alberta.
Submitted by bizuns on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 21:21During a nearly 6 year stint for Alberta Health Services and a previous health entity there came an opportunity around June 2010 to name a 2030 news story headline. I submitted "Sustainable Healthcare Made in Alberta" perhaps foolishly thinking that this fit the goals of the organization and Alberta. Well not only did it not win out of the roughly 165 submissions but it didn't make the top 10 or for that matter even get an acknowledgement from those organizing the contest.

Steve Jobs and passion for doing something awesome.
Submitted by bizuns on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 23:45
I think what really made Steve Jobs and Apple uniquely amazing was the passion for doing something incredibly awesome. I imagine early on they didn't really dwell so much on numbers, forecasts, and how the other guys (the big M) were doing. But they just focused on doing something cool their own way, they certainly were not the cheapest but their followers have no issue paying for a decent product.
