Bloomberg Kimani GrayHuffington Post

While Mayor Michael Bloomberg has promised to conduct a “full and fair investigation” into the death of Kimani Gray, the 16-year-old shot and killed by NYPD officers in Brooklyn earlier this month, his plans to offer condolences to Gray’s parents have proved unsuccessful.

The New York Times reports Bloomberg has attempted to reach out to the mother, Carol Gray, on numerous occasions but she remains uninterested in speaking with the mayor.   Continue reading “Bloomberg: Kimani Gray’s Mother Changed Cell Phone Number To Avoid My Condolences”

That buzzing noise means something.
Now, the only reason for making a buzzing noise that I know of is because you are… a bee!
And the only reason for being a bee is to make honey.
And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it.

Pressure is mounting on Canada to finish up a long-delayed trade deal with the EU. Despite outstanding issues that still must be settled, there is a final push to try and complete an agreement this summer. If both sides are able to secure a deal, it would lay the groundwork for the proposed U.S.-EU trade pact. There is the possibility that the U.S.-EU transatlantic trade talks could also include the other NAFTA partners and maybe even other countries. Mexico has already shown interest in joining and if Canada can’t put the final touches on their own agreement with the EU, they might also be part of the negotiations. This would facilitate plans for a coming NAFTA-EU free trade zone and the formation of a transatlantic economic union.   Continue reading “Final Push for a Canada-EU CETA and the Coming NAFTA-EU Free Trade Zone”

The events in Cyprus have given us an opportunity to re-learn some valuable lessons.

Lesson #1 – Do Not Trust Politicians

Nicos Anastasiades, the current president of Cyprus, had made it a campaign promise during the previous election that bank deposits would be safe. Like nearly everything a government official will tell you, the opposite is usually true; Anastasiades’ promise turned out to be worthless. To put salt in the wound, it has been alleged that Anastasiades tipped off his close friends about the impending crisis. According to Italian media, they were then able to move 4.5 billion euros out of the country in the week before the banks closed.   Continue reading “The Top 4 Lessons of the Cyprus Debacle You Shouldn’t Have to Re-learn”

MSG – Poison in Your Food

MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as “Natural Flavouring”.  MSG is even in your favourite coffee from Tim Horton’s and Starbucks coffee shops.

I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and spent years working for the government. He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called “The Slow Poisoning of America”.   Continue reading “The Truth about MSG Monosodium Glutamate”
