Rita Fulciniti put a down payment on a new west-end condo, thinking that home ownership would bring her a little comfort and financial security in her retirement years. Instead, the 66-year-old is living in a homeless shelter, broke, and still chasing the Toronto real estate agent who borrowed her life savings.

In March 2014, Fulciniti’s $42,000 down payment was for a second-floor unit in the Vivid Condos on Michael Power Place near Bloor Street West and Islington Avenue. A year later, while the condo was still under construction, Fulciniti learned her potential roommate wouldn’t be moving into the building.    Continue reading “Woman living in shelter after she says real estate agent took her life savings”

WEB Notes: The police cannot perform any search or seizure unless they have a very specific warrant to do so. Even if they have such a warrant, to force a catheter in you is not acceptable and everyone should voice their opposition to this.

How can America be considered the land of the free when police can extract a urine or blood sample against your will?   Continue reading “Your Body Is Not Your Own; It Belongs To The State”

The Great Recession – by David Haggith

Since Trump’s election, the US stock market has climbed unstoppably along a remarkably steep path to round off at a teetering height. Is this the irrational exuberance that typically marks the last push before a perilous plunge, or is the market reaching escape velocity from the relentless gravity of the Great Recession?

This burst of enthusiasm in response to Trump’s victory, flew in the face of almost everyone’s predictions. That it lifted the market from seven months of languor certainly makes 20K on the Dow look like the elevation marker of a breathtaking summit.   Continue reading “Irrational Exuberance in US Stock Market Grasps at 20K for Dow”

World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: I would have been impressed if he said we are pulling out of the wars around the world. There is certainly nothing wrong with security, but we need to look at the deeper issue here. trump is pushing the nationalistic ideals here and while us Americans love our borders, the globalists do not and I certainly believe trumps comments are by design (Putin made the same comment about nukes). As we will discuss in the near future nationalism is the enemy of globalism and the globalists will crush the nationalist movements, what little remains. trump has been allowed to shout these nationalistic ideals loud for all to hear. When the children of Satan bring down the world’s economic system everyone will realize we have past the time of nationalism which gives rise to nuclear weapons and wars. It will be touted that we need to join hands as world citizens and merge into a new world order government of so called peace (1 Thessalonians 5:3). The day is coming.

High Times – by Maureen Meehan

On Wednesday, the DEA took yet another swipe at marijuana by amending its already bizarre classification of pot as a Schedule I drug. Now, all extracts, including cannabidiol (CBD), will be listed right up there with heroin as a “drug with no medical use.”

Tell that to the thousands of epilepsy sufferers, who are mercifully enjoying relief from intractable epilepsy and polymorphic seizures.   Continue reading “DEA Quietly Classifies CBD Oil As Schedule 1 Drug”
