Who Reads Bender's Blog?
There have been a couple of comments that have suggested David Creery doesn't read this blog. That's ridiculous since he posted his letter on this blog but it got me thinking. Just who does read this blog?
I asked Jim and he supplied me with a partial summary report for the last 30 days. This report lists the ISPs that have accessed the blog. It doesn't list individual hits. It doesn't in any way indicate the identity of readers or posters. So relax. You're still anonymous, even if you're posting from a corporate IP, but if you're reading or posting from The House of Commons we've got a pretty good idea who you are. If you're reading or posting from a personal Rogers account all we know about you is you're one of the anonymous hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people that use Rogers.
The list is some 280 entries in length. Most are personal service providers but as Rogers, Sympatico and the other big service providers have regional nodes and the locations of the smaller ISPs are listed it is clear this blog is read by people from coast to coast. That includes the coasts of the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Japan. J
Who's Reading, by geographical location:
Every major city in Canada and plenty of not-so-major ones, most of the states from our neighbour to the South, and…. Jamaica, Brasil, Mexico, Netherlands, Australia, Argentina, United Arab Emirates, Japan, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, and Kenya.
Who's Reading, Government:
The County of Oxford, Public Works and Government Services Canada, Correctional Services Canada, Ehealth Ontario, Canadian House of Commons,
Dept. Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Industry Canada, Lee County Board of Commissioners Florida (whoa?), Province of British Columbia, Regional Municipality of Peel, City of Guelph, City of Beaumont and The Region of Halton.
Who's Reading, Education:
Fanshawe College, University of Calgary, Thames Valley District School Board, University of Manitoba, University of Waterloo, Consestoga College, Indiana Department of Education, Ottawa Carleton District School Board, Ryerson, Halton Board of Education, University College of the Fraser Valley, University of British Columbia, University of Guelph, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Leeds, University of Toronto, University of Western Ontario, Wilfrid Laurier University
Who's Reading, Media:
Sun Media Corporation, 104.7 Heart FM, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Toronto Star.
Who's Reading, Misc.
London Health Sciences Centre, St Josephs Health Centre, Australian Prudential Regulation Authority??, General Motors Corporation, Ontario Hydro, St. Michaels Hospital, Toronto Public library Board and, there are more, but I think you get the point.
Remember. That's a partial listing of ISPs and corporate users that have accessed the blog over the last 30 days. That equates to many thousands of individual reads.
Not bad for what most Woodstonians think is a marginalized local blog. Just remember, next time you're reading an entry on this blog it's probably also being read by your City, County, Provincial and Federal elected representatives, as well as a whole gaggle of bureaucrats, educators and other interested parties. If you've got something to say and you want it to be heard you're better off sending it to Jim than the Sentinel. Actually, you should send it to both.
People at the House of Commons, the CBC, Toronto Star, various local municipalities and folks from as far away as Australia and Kenya are wondering where Waldo is and why he won't answer the questions. Gotta wonder just who is going to bed tonight, scratching their heads, and wondering who put the inmates in charge of the asylum in Woodstock.
News...Straight from hell. These are the days my friend...i'm pretty sure they'll never end.
Do you agree with the Harper-Mackenzie plan to hobble Canadian seniors financially?

What gets me is this.....
everyone knows where the pills come from.
Instead of arresting all the stupid fucking low level players....
do something brilliant and arrest the bastards that make the stuff...they produce triple the pills yearly than what are actually prescribed. What do you think big pharma does with all the "extras"?
--------------------------------------
Oh yes, I forgot...this is a legal business!
They can pollute people as much as they like because your government said they can. This is just like tobacco!
They can produce more than what is necessary.
They can find other avenues to sell their product.
With compliant doctors who reap the benefits of financial payoffs and a willing pharmacy owner and a few hundred poor folks who sell their pills on the street...you have all the makings of one sweet criminal enterprise....that has legal support from your government. Don't forget....this government takes cash from drug companies for campaigns...that makes them as guilty as a street level pill pusher.
The real problem here is a weak -kneed government too afraid to clampdown on their donors for fear of alienation.
They make the rules...they say this shit is okay for you when it's not.
Perhaps we should arrest the government and take it to trial for murder and trafficking.

Asbestos exporter Roshi Chadha takes leave from McGill, St. Mary’s Hospital
Asbestos exporter Roshi Chadha takes leave from McGill, St. Mary’s Hospital
Really.
They might as well have had someone on those hospital boards from McDonald Tobacco.
Fact is....asbestos kills, and kills many ever year. As far as I am concerned it makes these two people.....Roshi and her husband Baljiit Chadha, murderers of the lowest kind due to the personal connection they have to the asbestos industry.(Harpers' man should issue those folks some rope....lol)
Asbestos is shipped internationally to several countries, but most notably to India which has no restrictions on how it may be used or who may handle it. Some Indian manufactured product containing asbestos ends up on Canadian store shelves such as in vapor pipes and other heat exchanging devices.
Coincidentally, asbestos is banned from being used domestically in manufacturing.

Did someone hear some sqeaking from under the mother of all bombs?
I feel completely sorry for the people of Iran. The people who own and run their country are nuts.
Their elections are fake. Their government is comprised of escapeees from the lunatic asylum.
If there was ever a place on planet earth that needed help cleansing itself from the idiots who lead it....it's Iran.
I won't shed any tears when Israel decides to wipe them out. In fact, I'll cheer them on.

Well, it isn't the first time Mr Kenney has created "facts" out of thin air.
If you ever get a chance to read Steve Paikins' book, "The Life", you'll understand what I mean by Kenney not being above creating the facts necessary to create an issue. He claims in that book that lying is an acceptable practice in politics.
The mans' a loser. He ought to be fired. He forced a bunch of peons to appear at an immigration re-affirmation hearing making a mockery out of Canadas' immigration system and forcing people to do things against their will under threat of duress.
If an immigrant claimed to be someone they weren't at an immigration hearing you could bet there'd be tons of nasty allegations flung about afterwards.
What Kenney has done is no different than what your average liar would do, lie, and lie poorly.

Frankly....most of the opposition is hiding, fearful and concerned for their very futures
in this country that is ruled by jack booted philosophy disguised as a government.
Canada should be ashamed to have a government like this but frankly in a dumb downed state like this, what else can what expect?

Shit...with a government like this I'm surprised they haven't just moved to limit the debate on this one.
Hell, why not just jam a pipeline in there or a damned oil refinery if you're talking about creating business opportunities in parks?
Those CONServatives obviously view the park as a money making resource, not as the collective public resource it once was.
Oh well, in four years time, next election, we'll have an opportunity to drop this ideologically driven waste of time government and replace it with something more palatable to the average middle of the road Canadian.

Often I wonder what drives men and women to make the irrational decisions they make.
I look at the world and the people around me and have determined that most people would refuse to vote for someone smarter or more intellectual than themselves for several reason but most importantly, no one wishes to vote for someone who might show them up. The voter does not wish to look stupid so they vote for the stupidest fuck they can find...the guy with the biggest uni-brow.
Oxford has a majority of persons who have failed to achieve even a grade 12 education. This was identified in a local risk assesment study of the region just a few short years ago in 2006.
It is no surprise that local people elected to the HOC are generally miserable failures in life who lack basic education levels.
Our local MP is no exception to the rule. He lacks the basic skills to manage his own office and if it were not for the capable staffers hired at public expense to do his job for him, this local MP would have difficulty riding his own bicycle.

Trost questions “iron-clad” party discipline
Trost questions “iron-clad” party discipline
“Contrast that to Canada, where party discipline is ironclad,” Trost said. “If everyone in a party thinks the same on every issue, not a lot of thinking is going on.”

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when this guy has to be afraid to speak out and speak up.
Have fun in your fake democracy party dude.
