Happy Easter everybody and I would like to share an Easter story from the seventies.
I was a teenager in the wild sixties and before you ask, yes I did inhale; but I digress. The transition from the fifties to the sixties was turbulent : as a child in the fifties we grew up in a time of trust and a time of plenty and even the poor folks like us lived a good and simple life. [...]
While nobody was looking last month five leading nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – decided to start their own financial system with a development bank funded exclusively by their nations. [...]
A little catch up to do after a few months off. I would first like to thank the Ottawa Citizen for apologizing for the article written by Kate Heartfield. Unfortunately the damage done by a lie is hard to undo with an apology but I have licked my wounds and now want to move on. [...]
Time to Have a Vision!
I think it’s safe to say we have some global economic problems that are not going away anytime soon. We have spent our way into a big global financial hole and right now it appears with QE’s and Twists we are trying to dig our way out of this hole by printing money at record rates and devaluing the worth of our paper currency.

Yesterday, Klaus Schwab, the Chairman and founder of the World Economic Forum, the annual meeting of business and political leaders in Davos Switzerland called for a complete overhaul of the Capitalist system. To that I say; it’s about time! [...]
The world economy is a mess and will only get fixed when the European and American economies are restructured to promote entrepreneurship and reduce Government spending. There appears to be no political will (other then in Canada) to attempt this restructuring and that is the benefit of having a strong Conservative Government at this time. The Government spending cutbacks we will see in the coming years are an absolute necessity in order to leave Canada better then we baby boomers found it. That is the Canadian way , is it not? I believe it is and so I am supporting these changes to our Countries spending habits with 100% of my energies. [...]
I am a Capitalist , a business man and a former politician who is losing faith in our political will to enforce the hard reality of capitalism: failure is needed to maintain healthy economic growth and improvement in our quality of life and standard of living. [...]
My son Matt asked me what was my worst fear if we had an economic CRISIS that was bigger then the Great depression of 29. This imagination story is my answer to that very tough question and in the end my worry had little to do with money. This is a story of 2012 to 2017 as told by a communications technologist looking back on the five year anniversary of the reelection of President Obama in 2012. I used to tell my children imagination stories at bedtime to teach and entertain, sometimes at the same time. Here is my latest imagination story, read it , relax and think about our political future.
As written by Brian O’Leary November 10, 2017: [...]
Our world is at a cross roads with one road, the road were on, heading to chaos and disruption and the other road hidden behind a complex set of national and international barriers. The better road is hidden behind desires of confusion ; but it is the road we must find and travel on. [...]
