Harmonized Tax

Wow, who would have thought that this would be the time that a tax increase would be announced.  I am not an economist, by any means, I think, like most people I get what economics is and have a basic understanding of how economics works.  

It seems to me that if the economy is hurting, the mean thing that would help it is for people to spend money.  How would you go about motivating people to spend money??  Well, you could give them more money or make their money worth more.  Now, everyone knows that you can't just print money (everyone except Ben Bernanke it seems), so in order to stimulate the economy what should be done is making people's money stretch further.

Ontario's solution: Raise taxes!!!! Brilliant, man no wonder our economy is falling apart.

Legal Recap - Beheading, legal.

Last summer the beheading of a young man on a greyhound bus chilled the nation. Something is innately terrifying about decapitation, extremsits in developing nations have capitalized on this grisly method of execution to motivate richer nations to leave their country, and in many cases, despite the rhetoric, it has scared the countries into compliance. Last summer when Vince Li killed a carney travelling home to Winnipeg people gasped, cried and lost sleep.

Today Mr. Li was found not guilty of second degree murder because of a mental illness read this article Judge Finds Li Not Criminally Responsible.

I hate to be insensitive but that is fucking ludicris. This man needs to be looked up. Anyone who murders someone who is asleep in the back of a bus becasue 'God' told him to needs to be locked away - forever. If someone has an illness that can kill others they are quarantined until they die or are cured. Since mental illness is so difficult to diagnose maybe we sould err on the side of public safety.....to me that means anyone who cuts anyone else's head off rots in prison.
