Well for one I say it’s a sign of the times.  Thing is folks, the old Zellers stores hasn’t been very productive for a good number of years.  Myself I just don’t like the atmosphere when going into one, nothing against the stores just that’s the way I feel.  You can say what you want about the US stores and maybe not like shopping in them as they are not Canadian, but one thing is for certain, they all have a certain flair about them that draws millions of customers a year. Their secret lies in how they promote their stores, along with how they lay them out. That pertains to the old style family, has worked for them for years and will keep on working, as the USA as a whole is one family and treats everyone as their family.    Lets hope now that Target is of the same calibre as  the rest of the USA stores so that we have another place to spend our hard earned dollars.  Hmm just what I need too.  Thing is though no matter where one shops here in Canada, most of all the items you see or buy all comes from across the ocean, hardly anything any more  says, Made In Canada Or Made In The Good Ol USA.  What a shame too.   My Opinion Only

Internet as we now know it will soon be a thing of the past, at least here in Canada, if we keep allowing these Powers That Be to do what every they want.  These big players like Bell and Rodgers are all about money.  Even the Governments of today bow to them.  Right now these small business’s like Teksavvy are having a major hard time and if allowed to continue, their advancement in the business world will be hard done by.  Thing is folks, some competition is needed here in Canada and with out it we will always being paying these high unfair prices.  Not fair that just a few have the right to making a go of things.  Shouldn’t be allowed and for one, if something isn’t done, certain Powers That Be will be loosing my vote come election time let me tell ya.  I have written them, E mailed them, you name it, does it do any good?  Not likely by the way things are shaping up with this Internet throttling that’s for sure.  This dropping the limits on downloading to around 60 GB or less is the last straw in my books. Sure a lot of folks don’t use that much, but a lot does and even if you don’t you should be allowed to download what ever you want for a favourable price, simple as that.  Dam….. where is this world going.  There is reason behind it though, as more folks will be turning to Internet TV in the future and that is what it is all about, so when the big players put their TV shows on line for downloading, they can charge what ever they want.  Not a good thing folks, so come election time speak out, as we as a whole are the only ones that can do anything about it.   Bottom line, The Powers That Be should have not let this happen.  One day they will wake up an realise that it isn’t the big guys that make a country strong and prosperous, it’s the little guy.

The the original adaptation starring John Wayne was one great show for sure.  Also the scenery was a lot nicer and of course no one could pull on John Wayne’s boots, but….. the new movie has some Grit to it for sure.  Last Friday my wife and I along  with our son Karl went to see it and I would have to say it was a nice evening out.  Only thing is, the treats cost as much, if not more than the show LOL LOL oh well what can you do and I shouldn’t complain as my son paid our way in for us.  Out of a five I would have to give it a three and a half star rating.   One other thing.  These days there isn’t to many westerns being made, so if you would like to see more, then get out there and see True Grit, as the more folks that goes, the more westerns the Powers That Be will be inclined to make.  There is a need for a few good westerns let me tell ya, as it would be a pleasant alternative for folks to see other than those Vampire, Harry Potter, you name it movies.  Not sure why folks even go to see them.  My opinion only.
