Privacy is an illusion! I don't know how to break this news at first! When you enter to your apartment building, if you do live in one, you are being monitored! How about when you head to your office building each and every day of the working week? The security cameras! Yet again! In the big cities, I don't know about yours, but in downtown Toronto, there are security cameras in parts of Toronto, and its part of our daily lives. In parts of London, England, its part of their lives too! I don't know how we can stop this invasion yet or there are ways to stop it besides signing petitions! I would say, despite of these measures, sometimes, there isn't a feeling that I do feel any safer. Do anyone feel safer? I still at times, have to look behind my back and be as alert as I should be!
Some of you have a vast interest on the Arctic and northern issues, I find this when I read my news this past week. Hope this will find of interest for some.
Could we dispel some stereotypes? I recently heard that when you travel in a group with the people from your country to another country, you're likely to be portray the origin of your country stereotypes.
People would say that I put my foot in my mouth when I say that tarsands are not just the sole to blame. (you can ask me more of why) Why? I now am witnessing the strike in the city where I am residing where kids could not go to public daycare, play in some of the parks due to: where temporary dumps are located, and I am not going to ramble on what else. When asked about what is more important to the country of Canada given the choices: environment or economy? You guess it right, its the money that speaks volumes. I would love to have our economy going, but is there also a way to make sure that we all can look at what we consume and what we can do to reduce too??? In terms of packaging, I have a tad of mixed messaging on that due to the fact that, common sense prevails when it comes to packaging and shipping safetly to the customers. Would you want your computer parts come in falling apart? Or your iPod screen shattered? Or your bluetooth all broken into pieces? Yes these have lots of packaging, but to reduce and to creatively think of reduce or even think about purchase a used or out of a box packaging from a store, like TigerDirect, you can save some money and some packaging(s).
Here are some of the pictures, but not limited to our current :( garbage woes

I am a fan of technology, but when it comes to maps, I have to confess, I do not have one particular favorite mapware(s), sorry Google. As of what I heard: they will be pretty close to couple of blocks to where I am currently residing. Oh, well, I am going to say, "say cheese" and snap one of their little cars too, if they take a picture of me Google-ing their way to our streets. As long as people are using more of mobile technology more, I am afraid that Google pictures along with the map is secondary.
(oops, I guess I better keep my hair a tad longer until Google StreetView leaves, stay tuned, I am pretty sure there will be updates on this one!)
A bit more commentary later stay tuned!
Hey Liberals C'mon, Move to Canada- I cannot quite take this seriously. I find this at the Slate magazine on the side bar and it made it to the ads section? It appeared to look like an ad. If the reader or the person who clicked the link who would not know better, the video would pop up. The premise of the video- if Republicans are to win the presidential elections, the liberals may think to folk to another country such as Canada. The following video below, I do think does not reflect how Canadians will sell themselves to the Americans Liberals.
