Sonny Barger plays Lenny the Pimp

Well this is ironic. First of all I don't watch Sons of Anarchy. I think it's an absolutely ridiculous show like Breaking Bad which glorifies crystal meth labs. However, I noticed on Wikipedia that it claims Sonny Barger played Lenny "The Pimp" Janowitz on the TV series Sons of Anarchy. That is ironic indeed since his pal Odis Garrett was convicted of running a prostitution ring for the Hells Angels in San Fransisco called the Love Nest. Barger attended the trial and had him honoured for years on the West Vegas prison lock down page long after Odis was convicted of ordering the murder of Margo Compton and her twin seven year old daughters for testifying against him.

Evidently, Canada isn't the only place the Hells Angels use violence to obtain a monopoly on the drug trade. They have been convicted of trafficking crystal meth in Kentucky, South Carolina and Massachusetts as well. Trent Willet and Greg Domey were both honoured on Hells Angels prison lock down support pages after their trafficking crystal meth convictions.

Doug McCallum claims Surrey's new city hall is a waste of money

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that Surrey's former mayor, Doug McCallum, says the glitzy new city hall is "wasted taxpayers' money." The article quotes him as saying "I don't agree with it. I don't agree with moving it and the costs associated with it. I think it's going to show up in hurting the community in some places, as far as being able to build city facilities, because all the money's been spent here," he said. "When I was involved in council there was often talk (of building a new hall), but we said no."

"We had a good city hall, and we spent a lot of money fixing that up not long ago. So the council at that time was very much against it... City council shouldn't be spending the money, basically, on themselves." McCallum referenced the 2003 renovations to the old city hall, which cost around $9 million. As well, the city spent roughly $1.3 million in renovations in 2007.

The Surrey City Development Corporation was behind the city hall and civic plaza project, and McCallum calls for the corporation to be disbanded, claiming its existence creates a conflict of interest. "A development company where the shareholders are council are in a conflict of interest when it comes before them to vote on it. It's like voting for themselves. It's a huge, huge conflict," McCallum said.

Exactly!!! Let's bring Doug McCallum back! Dianne Watts conned us. She promised us the moon on crime prevention and did the exact opposite. She taxed and spent us to the moon instead while she let drug related crime in Newton and Whalley skyrocket off the charts. When Doug McCallum was mayor the city evicted crack houses onto the street. I saw it. He put pressure on the crack dealers. Dianne Watts has not. End of story. .

Don Quixote Tilting at Windmills

Don Quixote was a fictional character who had these delusions that windmills were monstrous giants and he would charge them like a knight in shining armor thinking he was saving the world from some great evil. The term tilting at Windmills is taken from that novel and means attacking imaginary enemies. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song about him.

So here I am. Just another crazed lunatic tilting at windmills. Harmless indeed. I'm still amazed at the spam I get claiming that Spike is a nice guy and the Hells Angels are just a motorcycle club. Wrong on both counts. The number of cocaine convictions tied to the Hells Angels is out of control. If you think Spike is a nice guy just ask Ernie Ozolins.

It's rather bizarre when they start sending in their women to spam me with their bullsh*t. You can tell they're women because they are actually intelligent and are trying to appeal to my logic instead of just saying f you agent gay. Yet their appeal concerns me. At this point they are either misinformed or are outright lying. I think it's a little of both.

Years ago Randy Iron's wife and I had a conversation about the Hells Angels. She went on about how the Hells Angels would never be involved with the Pickton Farm. At the time I just agreed to disagree but now there is enough evidence out there to prove that anyone who says that now is simply being dishonest. The Hells Angels had a grow op on site. They were the ones that ran Piggy's Palace not Robert or Dave. Dave Pickton was a Hells Angels associate and knew where the bodies were buried. Robert Pickton was inviting sex trade workers to biker parties on his farm with free booze and free drugs. There's more. Much more.

The number of cocaine convictions tied to the Hells Angels is at this point ridiculous. So please, don't insult my intelligence with all that bullsh*t. It is at this point offensive because it mocks the deaths of people like Bob Roth and Janice Shore. A poor man is better than a liar.

Surrey Barn Grow op fire tied the the Hells Angels

Global is reporting that there was a large barn fire in Surrey yesterday morning that contained a legal grow op. In the printed article it states the owner was collecting $6,000 a month rent from the grow and when he asked for an increase they got angry and turned him down. The day before they were supposed to hand over the keys the barn burned down after the product was harvested.

A blog reader who sent me the story claims they saw the live broadcast on Global. They claimed that in the broadcast they saw, the owner outright said the Legal Medicinal Grow was run by the Hells Angels. That part was omitted from the printed version. May of last year the police busted four grow ops in Mission tied to the Hells Angels. Yo bro I aint making this sh*t up.

The online video admits that in Kelowna last year police raided 7 legal grow ops where Outlaw Motorcycle gear was found. Guess what. There's only one OMG in BC. The online video shows the owner stating the tenants who ran the legal grow said they have Hells Angels behind them.

Jamie Bacon and Person Y

There's been a lot of talk about the testimony of Person Y at the Surrey Six who is referred to as the Crown's star witness. I haven't had time to keep up with the trial but Kim Bolan has been covering it completely. A blog reader was discussing some of the statements Person Y made in court that Kim posted on her Twitter.

Evidently, Person Y was Jamie Bacon's body guard. He would go with Jamie to the gym so Jamie wouldn't get hurt. Person Y claimed that on one occasion, Jamie was upset with Person Y because Jamie and Person X were at a gym and two fat Hells Angels kicked them out. Jamie was upset Person Y wasn't there to protect him. Kinda strange how two young guys on steroids got kicked out of a gym by two old fat HAs but that's beside the point.

Person Y claimed after that he found Spike, the Haney president, alone at a gym and kicked him out. Spike isn't very big. He just has a reputation behind the patch so to speak. Nino, the Sergeant at Arms, isn't very big either. He just hides behind Brian Airth (Bags).



Person Y claims: "At 1 point, Jamie Bacon was enemies with HA, UN and IS." Then admitted "He's made friends with 2 of the 3" meaning the Hells Angels and the IS not the UN obviously. "Y says he knows Riach was in the car when Jon Bacon was killed, so clearly Bacons 'made amends' with Riach, Damien Ryan (the Wolfpack.)" However, we know that Jamie was friends with James Riach before the Surrey Six. James Riach was with the Bacons at the Castle Fun Park meeting in Kevlar before the Surrey Six. Clearly the BRM is passionately trying to deny their involvement in the Surrey Six. Yet we know that Larry Amero was friends with Jonathon Bacon long before the Surrey Six as was James Riach and Randy Naicker.

Here's the deal. One blog reader was pointing out that the Hells Angels operate differently than most other gangs. In the HAs each chapter operates independently. Just because one chapter is enemies with one group doesn't necessarily mean another chapter will be. Hence we had some HAs working with the UN while John Punko was caught on wire saying the UN aren't welcome in BC and they won't do business with anyone who does business with the UN. Punko was obviously upset the UN kicked their ass in Brandy's. That was when Michale Plante got knocked out by K9. John Punko had some jurisdiction in Surrey since Kerry Ryan Renaud was working for him.

We know that at one time the Independent Soldiers were independent. After the Loft Six shooting that all changed. The old leaders that had beef with the HAs were shot or killed off and the new leaders paid their allegiance to the HAs. The HAs took over the IS and made the IS work for them. Case in point, Larry Amero and Randy Naicker. Randy Naicker was also at the Castle fun Park meeting with the Bacons before the Surrey Six. Randy Naicker and James Raich were both present and were representing the IS who at that time were working for the Hells Angels. So this whole wolfpack cubpack thing wasn't really a new allegiance. Wolfpack81 was just Larry Amero's gamer tag on Xbox.

So although a couple of fat HAs kicked Jamie Bacon out of a gym on one occasion, it is clear that the powers that be saw the Bacon Brothers as a means to take over the RS who were working for the UN and make the RS work for the HAs like the IS. After all, if Jamie Bacon was so easily controlled by a couple of fat HAs, he was the perfect puppet for them to have take over the RS.

Obviously Person Y giving Spike a hard time would have won points for him with the UN. However, we know that Spike was supporting the Bacon Brothers after the Surrey Six. That's why his niece was representing him with Larry Amero and James Riach in Kelowna just like his other niece was representing him in the Philippines with James Riach and Barry Espadilla. We know that the Hells Angels were supporting the Bacon brothers before the Surrey Six because Larry Amero was Jonathon's friend and the IS who worked for the HAs were supporting them. It's like the Vernon Greeks. At one point Mike R was giving the Vernon Greeks a hard time until they got official sponsorship from the Calgary chapter which meant Mikey had to back off.

Calgary Hells Angels Grow Op

This is a cold case in more ways than one. Global BC is reporting that it has been 15 years since Paul Resvick was last seen, after he and some friends broke into a home in Dover and stole a substantial amount of marijuana. It turns out that house belonged to the Hells Angels, and it’s believed that just days later he ended up meeting with members of the crime group at the McDonalds in Forest Lawn. [Video]

OK so robbing a Hells Angels grow isn't the brightest thing to do. Yet discipline should be progressive. Put one in his leg or something. All this killing for money has got to stop. It's another documentation linking the Calgary Hells Angels to a grow op. Which is entirely their right. I'm just sayin it is what it is. The family is hoping to recover the body.

ISPs handing over private information to spy agencies

The Huffington Post is reporting that a new report says Canada's Internet service providers are being less than forthcoming about how they handle customer information — including whether they routinely hand personal data to spy agencies. Global states that the report comes as parliament debates a new bill that could change data sharing in Canada. Another bill violating the Canadian Charter of Rights that throws away civil liberty while the nation sleeps. PRISM is PROMIS.

Schafer & Waiser: Say no to government spying

Rock Machine in Vancouver?

The Vancouver Province is reporting that several individuals wearing Rock Machine colours have been spotted in the Lower Mainland and that a RM associate contacted a reporter claiming they have plans to start up a chapter within the year. This is both good and bad news. Good news in that it brings hope for a free market. Please come to Surrey. We rather have RM than the Surrey Girls. Bad in that from what we've seen, the RM are just more drug dealers who like to blow shit up. Steven King crossed over to the RM after leaving the GTS.

This is obviously a new Rock Machine that was resurrected by Sean Brown before they kicked him out. Most of the old leaders crossed over to the Hells Angels when Mom Boucher went to prison. Salvatore Cazzetta, Giovanni, Paul Porter and Sal Brunetti all crossed over in 2000.

Evidently Joseph Strachan from Winnipeg is out in bad standing.

Although some are claiming this story is absolute bullsh*t made up by some kid who called the paper, there is a point in this article I want to emphasize. All the sources in the article admit that the Hells Angles have a monopoly in BC. They aren't talking about a monopoly on riding motorcycles. They are talking about a monopoly on the drug trade.

Julian Sher is quoted as saying If the Rock Machine showed up in Vancouver and drove down Robson Street, they wouldn't make it to Stanley park. Although that's an obvious exaggeration since Robson and Stanley Park are totally tame, his point remains in effect. It is the public opinion that the Hells Angels are so powerful in BC no one else is allowed to wear a patch without their permission. Hitler revisited. That is why I have this website and blog.

I don't have beef with the UN. I hate crack and I don't support the predatory drug dealers out there that give the homeless free crack then beat the life out of them afterwards for payment but dial a dope operations and drugs in clubs is none of my business. That's personal choice. It's the predatory thing I have beef with. Torturing addicts for drug debts. If you didn't front them the drugs there wouldn't be any drug debts.

I also have beef with liars and the Hells Angels are compulsive liars. How do you know Ricky C is lying? His lips are moving. Ask him about the Devil's Butler will ya. I want to know about his involvement in that. The Hells Angels lie and say they don't sell drugs. If any of them get caught the Devil's butler says we don't know them or they were acting on their own not for the club.

The UN don't lie about it. They say yeah we sell drugs. They have even stamped their logo on a brick of cocaine. The Hells Angels lie and say they don't when they do. The problem is, not only do they sell drugs but they say no one else is allowed to sell drugs but them and use extreme violence to obtain a monopoly on the drug trade while they tax and extort everyone in it. That is not a free market. That is my beef. The Hells Angels lying about selling drugs and them claiming no one else is allowed to sell drugs but them. That is why I have this blog and web site.

Warlocks bust in Drayton Valley

The Edmonton Sun is reporting that four members of the Warlocks in Drayton Valley have been arrested. March 21 police searched a home and seized various riffles a couple of handguns and a kilo of pot as well as some prescription pills. Pretty small time compared to a HA bust. It does however show that the Warlocks are rising in Drayton Valley and the HAs are getting the Po Po to deal with them on their behalf.

This would substantiate our source's claim the drive by shooting in Drayton Valley November 3rd was at a member of the Warlocks home. Word is nothing has changed in the EPS and they still have major intel leaks going directly to the Hells Angels. Sad. You would have hoped they would have cleaned that mess up after it hit the media last time.

Change in Plans

In response to the floodgates of death threats I had said everything's in it's place and that I had someone ready to take over the blog and web site when I die. Since the trolls started freaking out and were sending people I don't even know threats just because I link to them I have reconsidered that option. People I don't even know were getting threats from trolls saying you better not be helping Agent K. Or what? You trolls are pathetic.

I did have someone else set aside to take over the blog but I have reconsidered. It was someone I genuinely cared about. I certainly don't want any harm to come upon them. Maybe I am stupid but I accept responsibility for my actions. I am responsible for what I say and do not my family or my friends. The fact that you would actually threaten them shows just how pathetic you really are. So here it is. If I get shot nothing happens. No one takes over. The blog goes silent but stays on line. No one else is to blame but me. Let's face it, it's just a blog. There are millions of them out there. Mine is insignificant. So why all the death threats? You trolls really need to get a life.

Take a look at the new Gang Member Registry. If you support any of those guys you're on the wrong team. Nanaimoguy says he hopes they blast my brains out in front of my daughter. Yo man you really need some time with Dr. Phil. Just remember the next time you're on that Gay Pride Parade in Nanaimo behind Ricky C that the memorial run is for Edward "Zeke" Mickle. The guy that got killed because the Nanaimo chapter were trying to tax and extort the Vietnamese grow ops and they said no.

Just remember a patched member of the Nanaimo Hells Angels named Lea Sheppe, and an associate, Robbie Lajeunesse, were charged with trafficking large amounts of cocaine between B.C. and Ontario. 10 kilos of cocaine were seized. A patched Hells Angel member in Ontario and associate were also charged there. It's all about obtaining a monopoly on the drug trade. It has absolutely nothing to do with riding motorcycles or living the dream. That's what you support. Not me. So instead of threatening my family and friends come and get me. It's just me and my shillelagh. I still rather be more like me and less like you. In the end, it doesn't even matter.

Spring Skiing

Surf's up. A little sunshine after some fresh powder in the mountains. Great conditions although rain is on the way. It was a really slow start to the season on the west coast this year but the wait has been worth it. It'll be even better in a couple of weeks when the ski hills close down and snowshoers have full range of the mountain snowshoeing with shorts on in the sunshine on the melting snow. Now that's what I'm talking about.

The Beat Goes On

Evidently I'm not the only one who thinks that getting the police to walk the beat in high crime areas like Newton where there is public drug trafficking is a good use of tax dollars. Sadly when I look at the magnitude of the problems affecting the RCMP I am forced to bow my head in shame.

It's not just Bill Fordy. Evidently he's pals with Craig Callens who is the head of the RCMP for all of BC. Callens goes back to Prince George during the time of David Ramsay. As for Bob Paulson, I'm not even going to go there. All I have to say is that Bob Paulson needs to stay away from Bill Fordy's unprofessionalism. That's all I'm going to say about that.

I don't care who is sleeping with who, metaphorically speaking. It's like the Surrey Six screw up. I don't care what cop slept with who. I care about a climate of unprofessionalism that is rampant in the RCMP as well as the regional police forces. This acceptance of getting drunk with witnesses and flirting with them in hopes to flip them. That is messed up. It is simply unprofessional. It's time for people to grow up. Depot needs to change. So does the promotion process. It's about time.

East Vancouver Drug Den Seized

The Vancouver Province and the Tyee are reporting that a Downtown Eastside “drug den” has been shut down and sold for $820,000 under the auspices of B.C.’s Civil Forfeiture Office. The building seized was the former Backpacker Inn in the 600-block Alexander Street.

The police claim they went after the building following complaints from the public and because of “victimization” of people in the DTES. “There were people that were being preyed upon by the drug dealers,” said Fincham. “This was a violent group of drug dealers that were resorting to extreme measures to enforce drug debts and encourage people to sell drugs for them.” Among those measures were shaving people’s heads. I'm glad they shut it down but this is nothing new.

The drug dealers selling outside the Carnegie centre are just as predatory. Strange how they would bust one but not the other. Strange how they have a chain link fence blocking the public from accessing the police station on Main Street right beside the Carnegie open air Drug Market. Perhaps this drug den was seized because it was outside the tolerance zone and the neighbors across the street were complaining about it. God knows the police won't touch the Black Door.

Can Mike Farnworth fix the BC Hydro Fraud?

Well this is exciting. After Arian Dix resigned as the leader of the BC NDP Mike Farnwerth is the first to announce his candidacy. Mike Farnworth is a good guy. He is very competent. I was surprised he lost against Adrian Dix but realized Adrian was very competent as well. The stereotype was that Adrian was a little more left wing and Mike was a little more right wing. I do hate stereotypes but that is what people were saying.

My beef with stereotypes is that the right claims the left will tax and spend when that is exactly what the right is doing. However, it is quite possible that Adrian's reputation for being a little more left might have been what scared voters at the last minute when the BC Liberals were nose diving in the polls for all their endless corruption. Mike's reputation for being a little more right just might be enough to appease voters fears about the NDP long enough to get him elected.

I really think we need a balance between the left and the right and we really need to shun extremism. Supporting corporate monopolies does not stimulate the economy nor does it promote a free market. Corporate monopolies simply gouge consumers. Like BC Hydro.

Gordon Campbell's BC Hydro fraud is in my opinion the most pressing issue for this election. That fraud created a massive ballooning debt that the taxpayers are going to have to cover. Cristy Crunch just kept lying her face off with fraudulent budgets claiming they are going to one day balance their budget by extracting a dividend from BC Hydro. That claim was fraud knowing they turned BC Hydro into another Enron and kept deferring it's ballooning defect.

The deficit was created by privatizing part of BC Hydro. The power brokers that sell power to BC Hydro at an inflated rate. That was a criminal act. A private company is mandated to make a profit. It then sells power to the public company at above market rates which in turn gouges taxpayers and consumers. The privatization of the power brokers that are ripping off BC Hydro and all of British Columbia must be reversed.



Mike Farnsworth cares about crime in the community. The BC Liberals do not. Don't get me wrong. I don't support everything the NDP stand for. I rather see a BC Conservative party rise up that is free and independent of Stephen Harper's hypocrisy. Something like Ron Paul without the legalization of all drugs. John Cummins had the right idea but that idiot troll from Gordon Campbell's caucus planted the seeds of dissension and killed the party. Mike Farnworth is a good balance for British Columbia. God save the people from the BC Liberals endless corruption.

Another Senior assaulted in Newton

The Surrey Leader is reporting that a South Asian senior was taken to hospital after a brazen midday beating to his face and hands in Newton last week. Surrey Mounties are asking for public assistance after a 72-year-old man was beaten and robbed at 1 p.m. on Thursday at Newton Athletic Park.The attack occurred just over three kilometers from where hockey mom Julie Paskall was fatally beaten in December outside Newton Arena, near 72 Avenue and 136B Street.

The Surrey RCMP is counseling citizens to protect themselves and claims that "Personal and public safety is everyone's responsibility – play an active role in crime reduction!" Perhaps Bill Fordy and Laura Balance are handing out permits to conceal. I'm not sure how a 72 year old man is supposed to protect himself from being mugged in the middle of the afternoon. Personally I think an increased police presence in that area to address the public drug dealing would be a more appropriate allocation of tax dollars than Dianne Watts ivory tower but that's just me.

Crimean Secession - Update

This one's kind of hard to follow but is clearly contentious. We have been hearing quite a bit about unrest in the Ukraine. We heard news of protests in the Ukraine over the government's bid to go back to Russia and protesters getting shot at. It would seem that clearly the majority of people in the Ukraine do not want to be a part of Russia again. Fair enough.

Then Russia invades Crimea, a peninsula off of the Ukraine but separate from it. They say they went there to protect the Russians living there. Yeah right. Then they say they're going to hold a referendum on who wants to break off of the Ukraine and join with mother Russia. Nothing like holding an election with a gun held to your head.

I will say this. The results of the referendum are suspect. Over 90% voted to return to Russia? I cry bullshit on that one. Especially when they announced the results before 50% of the ballots were counted. However, it does appear that there are some citizens there that would rather be part of Russia than the EU. The question is just how many.

There was a protest in Toronto calling for Russia to pull out of Crimea. Signs said Hands off Ukraine. However, Russia invaded Crimea not the Ukraine. The most violent anti Russia protests were held in Kiev not Crimea. To me it would seem that letting Crimea succeed and letting the Ukraine remain free is kind of a peaceful solution to the conflict.

I have a hard time understanding why the EU would ban Crimean citizens from traveling in Europe and freeze their assets. It kinda just looks like sour grapes and theft. They are going to slap travel bans on elected Crimean officials who voted to have a referendum on sovereignty and seize their assets? What right to they have to seize an elected officials assets for passing a law they objected to which simply put the question to a vote of the people?

The biggest protest against the invasion was in Moscow - 50,000 people. That is a huge protest but I'm having a hard time interpreting that. It's hard to know the will of the people in Crimea when you're not actually there. Evidently, Russian in the predominate language spoken in Crimea and they did vote over 70% in favor of Yanukovych in 2010. Logic would imply that 70% would elect to return to Russia as opposed to the EU. If Putin leaves the Ukraine alone and just takes Crimea, that seems like a decent compromise to me. Just saying.



Update: Russia has now seized two Ukrainian naval bases. I was already to go ballistic on this one and call for economic sanctions until I discovered that the naval bases they are referring to are in Crimea not the Ukraine. If Russia seized naval bases on Ukrainian soil that would be an act of war and I would totally support economic sanctions against them. However, it appears that the naval base in question is in the port of Sevastopol which is in Crimea not the Ukraine. In response the Ukraine plans on withdrawing their troops From Russia-Occupied Crimea so it doesn't appear that the sky is ready to fall just yet. If Russian troops seize naval bases off the coast of the Ukraine that would be an entirely different matter.

Pickton's victims' families to get $50K each

Good news and bad news at the same time. CBC is reporting that an agreement has been reached with the City of Vancouver and the provincial and federal governments to pay $50,000 to each of 11 families whose relatives were victimized by serial killer Robert Pickton, says lawyer Jason Gratl. Gratl is representing the children of Pickton's victims. Good that the families of the victims receive some compensation but bad that the truth is being buried under the carpet again in a settlement.

Shootings in Surrey and Langley

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that there was a targeted shooting in Surrey this morning at 6:30 AM. No it wasn't my house. Witnesses report seeing a brown van as well as a black pickup leaving the scene after the shooting. One of these vehicles is believed to have a broken window. News 1130 is reporting that neighbours reported hearing a loud argument and then hearing a number of shots. When officers arrived they found a 30-year-old man who had been shot. He was taken to hospital and is in stable condition.

Shootings in Langley as well. Scan BC is reporting that #Langley #RCMP are on scene with 2 males shot in a house in Walnut Grove. Suspect outstanding with a weapon, area on lockdown. K9 searching. Global is reporting that two people have been injured and another has been arrested after an incident at a Langley home Sunday afternoon, RCMP confirm.

Update: Evidently the Langley shooting was at a licensed medicinal grow op. The Vancouver Province is reporting that two people have been charged after the armed robbery - Christopher Carl Agin, 29, and Rosemary Souriyavong, 23. Kim Bolan is reporting that they are from Surrey.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! OK Saint Paddy's Day is on Monday but the parade is Sunday and the Celtic Festival has been running all week. I went for a pint at the Irish Heather today and I noticed they're getting ready for some live music at the Blarney Stone tonight. I've kissed the real Blarney Stone in Cork so I have but I usually shy away from that pub. It's a younger crowd so it is. They don't drink green beer in Ireland they drink black beer. In Dublin you can smell the roasting hops in the air from the Guinness brewery at Saint James' Gate.

Saint Paddy's day is supposed to be fun but it isn't supposed to be a crazy drink up. Just a time to remember your heritage or experience some Irish heritage even if you aren't Irish. Time for some Irish dancing and some good music like A Nation Once Again, the Fields Of Athenry or the Town I loved so well. Three Row Barley is a nice local band I heard once at the Rusty Gull a few years back. Traditional Irish dancing is done with the hands at the side symbolizing dancing while being in bondage to a foreign nation. The song Lord of the Dance was an old hymn referring to Christ.

The harp is a magical instrument so it is. David's harp soothed the soul so it did. Ya have to be able to play it right though. Often the harp sounds like elevator music. Loreena McKennitt can sure play it right and sing too. She has the majesty of the ancestral harp so she does. Her music is very moving. It's found on Quinlan road so it is. So enjoy some heritage. Speaking of which, did ya know the Guinness family built the Lions Gate bridge so they did. Top of the morning to ya.

Enbridge seeks 40% natural gas price increase

MSN News is reporting that Enbridge Gas Distribution plans to increase the price of natural gas by 40 per cent. Enbridge applied to Ontario regulators for the price increase in the energy rates it charges millions of natural gas customers in the province. The increase needs to be reviewed by the Ontario Energy Board before being implemented on April 1.

Enbridge Enbridge Enbridge. Why is it we keep hearing about Enbridge? Isn't there any other companies that sell gas? Evidently not. That's because we let them obtain a corporate monopoly on the market at the tax payers expense so they can now raise the prices to whatever they want. We have destroyed the free market. If there was a free market with more than one company selling oil, this increase would not happen.

It's on the table because we let the politicians who claimed to be right wing destroy a free market because the corporate monopolies gave them campaign contributions. This is corporate Communism in real life. In New Brunswick the Enbridge monopoly opposed rate cuts for consumers. If there wasn't a monopoly we wouldn't be getting shafted.
