A real potpourri
For those conspiracy theorists amongst us. here is an article that backs up the moves made by Obama this morning - to enforce financial oversight on the auto industry by the financial industry. For years now late talk night radio has been living on theories of the "New World Order" and how the "Illuminati" have been running the world by proxies. Every single US President has had links to the Rothschilds, the Bushes and the Royal Family and others :according to those guys all of life is preordained to maintain the control of us all by the elites. With Obama now putting Wall Streeters in the auto fix , when many blame these very same people for the mess in the first place, especially Tim Geitner, who wrote the legislation allowing AIC and others to become unregulated the writer of the article questions motives.
So did you put your lights out on Saturday? I have refrained from writing about earth day as it is a PR stunt designed to make the participants look good. How many of the participants have actually reduced their consumption in the last couple of years? Earth day, like womens' day and other festivals should be an everyday thing not a flash in the pan appearance.
The Greens have a Federal candidate. Stan Grizzle has been nominated. This fellow has been a member of three of the five main parties, and run for nominations in two. Wonder what he wants to be in later life. But as they say "Variety is the spice of life"
Will Brighton join the other paranoic municipalities by installing CCTV in their downtown. Research has shown that CCTV does not reduce crime, it barely makes crime-solving possible and usually the camera operators spend their working time looking for public nudity and sex acts. But if it makes Brightonians feel better let them go for it. I just hope that the signs advertising the presence of CCTV are large enough to alert those of us who don't like them to stay away.
Cobourg has reopened the debate about Development Fees. The Cobourg Home Builders Association has approached Council and asked them to reexamine the fees. The CHBA has decided that DFs are an impediment to progress and are stopping home sales, despite the recession. I would disagree and say that DFs are good and probably not high enough. New development must be paid for by new residents not existing taxpayers. I see this request is part of the ongoing discussion centreing around the Official Plan. In this discussion, which has yet to be resolved, the "Places to Grow" document at the County level has to be reconciled with the aspirations of Cobourg to plan for 16,000 more residents, despite Cobourg having the ability to "infill" inside thie present boundaries, with the potential of 9,000 residents.
