WikiLeaks ‘Revenge’

You know this WikiLeaks has gotten a lot of attention lately and in my mind it has a lot of merit to it.  Myself I can see a lot of good things about this fellow portraying the truth,  more so it out weighs the bad.  One has to remember that this fellow is just posting what is really happening in our Governments, companies and places like that. Information being handed to him by some pretty high uppers. All that this fellow is doing is presenting them to you as they unfold.   Myself, in my mind, I have always figured these things were happening, just didn’t have any real hard proof, this fellow does and is letting everyone see it for themselves.  I figure it this way, one should always stand up for what’s right, and speak ones mind.  Don’t be afraid of going against the grain if you feel your right in things, as it is your life and you are entitled to say or do what you believe in, or what you do not believe in, whether it be Religion, Politics or what ever. Today though most are afraid to speak their feelings, or what they know to be true, as they are afraid of repercussions, from the Powers That Be, Family Members and so on.  Why is that?  Well my view is, we have had our minds clogged up with other folks thinking and now today can’t fend for ourselves.  I I also believe that this just didn’t happen on its own and was slowly worked into our every day life.  My opinion Only.+

Do You Want To Save Your Internet In Canada????

The only way this is going to really help is if we as a whole start standing up for ourselves and let these so called Powers That Be know that we run the country not them.  What should be done is the Government should step in and stop this.  Will they?   I doubt it but, hey, you never know.  Click Link at the bottom of the page which will take you to a place where you can sign the petition, also leave a note to go along with it, can’t hurt that’s for sure.  Don’t let them scare you neither, your the only ones that can save our Internet.  Stand up for what’s right.  My Opinion Only hoping to make it yours too.

The CRTC just decided to let your Internet Service Provider put a meter on your Internet!Stop the Meter

Bell Canada and other big telecom companies can now freely impose usage-based billing on independent Internet Service Providers (indie ISPs) and YOU. Big Telecom companies are obviously trying to gouge consumers, control the Internet market, and ensure that consumers continue to subscribe to their television services.

This means we’re looking at a future where ISPs will charge per byte, the way they do with smart phones. If we allow this to happen Canadians will have no choice but to pay more for less Internet.

This will crush innovative services, Canada’s digital competitiveness, and your wallet.

We need to stand up for the Internet.

Trash & Treasures Port Loring Ontario

Trash & Treasures

What a small community can do when everyone pulls together. Well that is exactly what has happened here in Port Loring. In 1975 our first Trash & Treasures came to being, a store filled with items donated for the sole purpose of raising money for the Argyle Fire Department. With the way things are being done these days, especially in small communities like ours, getting funding for new Fire trucks is almost impossible. With our trucks slowly deteriorating and no funding available, the community took it upon themselves to see what they could do.

Later on the Fire Department applied for a grant to build the new Trash & Treasures in the middle of Port Loring, as the old Steel’s store was just to crowded to display the goods, along with being to deteriorated to safely work in. Luckily the grant came through. Purchasing a new Firetruck though was another story.

Over the years an into today Trash & Treasures has been operated entirely by volunteer help. This team of over 40 some volunteers, coordinated by Doris Lampman, has to be commended, as with out them our Fire Department would be in dire need. The new Fire Truck you see in the picture was totally purchased with proceeds coming solely from Trash & Treasures. A ticket price of $199,000.00.

Amazing isn’t it, what can happen when a community as small as ours puts all their efforts into achieving something like this. Endless hours, in all kinds of weather, these volunteers have worked and will continue to work so that the folks in our small community can rest in bed at nights knowing that our Fire Department is at the very least agile enough to keep them safe.

I would also like to thank all the rest that help make this possible, the public for your donations and also all the customers.

A success story yes, but lots more has to be done, as with all small communities it seems we get left by the way side and when surviving means, working together.  Click Picture To Enlarge !!   Great Picture For sure but then……….hey I took it.  LOL
