Syria Represents the Unknown of Known or the Known of Unknown

If Sarin gas was used by either the government forces or the army deserters and rebels there is also evidence as reported by the UK news, Independent that the Government let British company export nerve gas chemicals to Syria! 

www.independent.co.uk/n ...

Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, a 'call to action', appears to have been based solely on the USA version for a new world order of might is right?

Syria a sovereign country has been in a civil war going on nearly three years and for anyone to assume that it is only the leader of the Syrian government and its forces that continues to solely have access to chemical weapons in such a war-torn country is asinine or blind to the realities of war.

Any fool can start a fight but it takes a statesman to negotiate a peaceful solution to a conflict.

Syria is NOT a threat to the people of the USA nor is it a national security issue. 

Without a declaration of war by the United States senate and congress an attack against Syria by the USA ordered by the President of the USA would not be legal by its' own constitution, its own laws or those of the world court.

This so-called Syrian opposition is made up of armed forces deserters, Syrian exile members of the de facto groups like the SNC (Syrian national council), FSA(free Syrian army) and non-Syrian fanatic extremists for a free Palestine along with the Muslim brotherhood for Sharia law and all are doing battle against the Assad regime and the Syrian people.

A fraudulent unelected group of individuals, mainly from foreign countries, who call themselves the Syrian National Council claiming to be the opposition forces for the protection of the unarmed citizens of Syria and its resources. 

Under a banner of the SNC or FSA these opposition forces, for the protection of the unarmed citizens of Syria and its resources as they previously stated, have been and continue to kill innocent woman, children, youth and the elderly all of whom are Syrian people?

They continuing bombings in Damascus and throughout Syria, that have the fingerprint tactics used by al- Qaeda, fundamentalist Sunni Muslim terrorist groups and others from throughout the region in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt and Jordan, by these heavily armed opposition forces comprised of rebels, insurgents, army deserters and terrorists can attest to the Syrian government’s claim that Syria is fighting Islamist militants steered from abroad!

How can Canada, the USA and other western powers support such radical extremists and fanatical religious non elected but self anointed individuals and armed forces deserters and terrorists who call themselves the opposition and then proceed to intentionally detonate 10 kilos of highly flammable explosives in the centre of Damascus next to a primary school, shops and a mosque?

I cannot understand how a fraudulent unelected group of individuals, mainly from foreign countries, under a banner of the SNC or FSA the opposition forces who call themselves the Syrian National Council and claim to be the opposition forces for the protection of the unarmed citizens of Syria and its resources themselves continue to kill innocent woman, children, youth and the elderly all fellow Syrians?

These groups claim they do not have chemical weapons and it's only the government forces! 

If one believes that then one believes in the tooth fairy.

They call the government of Syria uncivilized yet it was the government of the USA that used napalm and Agent Orange in Vietnam and used depleted uranium and white phosphorus in Fallujah, Iraq and not to be outdone, Britain firebombed Dresden and other German cities in WW2 and the USA dropped nuclear bombs twice on Japan!

You be the judge on this proposed illegal limited and narrow bombing by the USA on yet another sovereign country by the President of the USA in assisting the so-called Arab Spring uprisings!

Toronto a Sanctuary for Violent Youth and Huggers of Law Breakers?

Wait a minute here. First off, this young man contrary to what his friends have said obviously had not at all adjusted well to living in Canada or the Canadian way of life.

What he did was unacceptable. He broke the laws of the country he came to reside in when he first exposed himself on public transit, then provoked a situation, put innocent transit riders at risk and in harms way by brandishing a knife demanding that they get off the streetcar in the middle of the night.

In my humble opinion, such actions are not those of a person who is flourishing in Canada! 

Many questions have to be answered starting with the reason why he left his job and for what reasons, why he moved out of his fathers residence and who had he been with just prior to his illegal actions of hijacking a public transit vehicle?

Also was this TTC streetcar driver the same person who Mr. Yatim junior previous had a confrontation and attitude problem with?

A scrawny 110 ten pounds of sweet, very loving kind-hearted and well-adjusted guy in civil society does not go around exposing himself, brandishing knife or gun and hijacking public transit vehicles and demanding everyone get off and then further start taunting and calling police officers f... ing pussies

Are these the actions of a law-abiding well adjusted teenager with respect for the rights of others and authority as learned or was taught by his youthful friends and family?

Now after the fact,  why are some of these previous passengers claiming, after the fact that they were in no immediate danger or threatened by this drug high knife provoking passenger?

As they now claim no perception of threat, so why then did they not group together and disarm this skinny kid as opposed to fleeing the streetcar and leaving it to the police who did not run yet perceived a threat of self-defence and thus demanded that he drop the weapon and not move towards them or he would be shot?

As tragic as it was this young man was obviously high on marijuana or other illegal drugs and decided to end his life with the assistance of the officers, in my humble opinion.

The bottom line in any confrontation with police is NOT to refuse an order to drop any weapon that one is obviously holding be it a knife, bat, scissors or gun.

Unless one wishes to commit suicide!

A Subway Funding and Congestion Solution.

City streets represent the most utilized and fastest commuter transportation mode and account for 75% of Toronto's daily commuters by people, cars, trucks and vans.

Tearing up these streets to put streetcar tracks or LRTs, with or without right-of-ways, and reduce the available road width usage for these daily commuters and commerce purposes are NOT visionary or leadership.

Toronto's previous mayor Miller should have upgraded the City's and TTC's outdated signalling systems and traffic signals before borrowing close to a Billion dollars for new streetcars and subway vehicles in my humble opinion. 

LRT cost forecasting, as witnessed with the ST. Clair line (call it a streetcar or LRT) and the Eglinton LRT already $400 Million over budget and not even a third of the way completed, are continually underestimated in costs while overestimating the demand. 

Reports by non elected technocrats and bureaucrats are slanted in order to produce unrealistic cost figures that favour and constitutes technical justification for political-public works programs rather than real economic or technical criteria. 

Streetcars or LRT's are in NO way the solution to any cities transit requirements across Canada that have populations of over 2.6 million residents. If one wishes to see how engineers, planners and bureaucrats have screwed up a pedestrian, cyclists, autos, vans and commerce transit within a city go to Zurich, a city of less than 400,000 that is congested with inner city streetcars, LRTS or whatever one wishes to label them.

What Toronto urgently requires is funding from the province and the federal government for construction of a Scarborough subway today not tomorrow, replacing and upgrading the TTC signalling system coupled with the upgrading of all existing four-way traffic signals throughout the city, now, and within 3 to 5 years start construction on the DRL and then 2 years later finish the Sheppard subway connection to Scarborough and Spadina.

Now for the funding to accomplish all this is rather easy if the politicians had the political courage and the best interest of citizens in mind and not their respective unelected political parties.

A transit and infrastructure levy of 2% should immediately be required from all corporations operating and doing business in any province of Canada that has annual gross revenues in excess of $500 million dollars. This would be their mandatory investment for doing business within Canada. 

This levy would be designated solely for communities that already have an existing subway operation. Like it or not there is just no way Individual taxpayers and property taxes can continue to absorb and bear the brunt for transit and infrastructure costs in Toronto or any Canadian city.

Corporations, banks, unions and organizations like individual taxpayers all have an obligation when it comes to funding costs for transit and infrastructure within our cities.  

Its either a 2% tax levy now or a minimum 10% tax in the very near future for corporations with annual gross revenues that exceed half a billion dollars in my opinion.

The Candidates Pledge that Ontario Voters Require.

A pledge voters need to see from candidates in these by-elections and ALL elections: 

1. That he/she shall fulfil the entire term of office voters elect them for. 

2. Independent candidates who put the interests of voters ahead of party politics. 

3. Independent candidates with the fortitude to tackle controversial issues through a human connection with the voters' support.  

4. A voice for the people NOT a puppet vote for a political party. 

5. The candidates passionate that work, education and integrity in seeking our votes to represent us in elected public service must ensure their commitment as a candidate for TRANSPARENCY, FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY. 

No longer can we afford the luxury of complacency by allowing unelected individuals to occupy the chairs of decision making.

Our right to vote is another democratic obligation people within civil society have and has been taken for granted for far too long.

It should be a mandatory requirement, like jury duty, compulsory schooling, driver’s licenses and paying taxes.

Cheers,

Peter Clarke

Ontario’s Green Energy Plan 1,369 megawatts for $6 Billion

$1 Billion cost from Ontario taxpayers’ revenues over and above a $5 Billion Samsung investment producing 1,369 megawatts of green power down from 2,500 megawatts. At the consumer and taxpayer buyback energy cost of $6 Billion over 20 years and 900 green energy jobs protected only until 2016.

Recap, that now works out costing Ontario taxpayers $6.7 Million for every ONE new green energy job from the 900 jobs protected only unit 2016 created from this downsized Samsung investment of $5 Billion.

At a taxpayer cost of $6 Billion for 1,369 megawatts of green power down from 2,500 megawatts from $1 Billion tax revenue dollars to secure the Samsung reduced the investment of $5 Billion from its' (Samsung's) original $7 Billion investment with the liberal political party government for an energy program as now propped up by unionized labour’s political party wing and movement the NDP!

$6.7 Million is the cost to taxpayers for every ONE job created by this Liberal-NDP unelected coalition type of legislature through their acceptance of the downsized amended Samsung energy investment agreement as originally reported by Antonella Artartuse, Queens Park Bureau Chief for Sun Media Corporation.        

For Ontarians, this is simply yet one more scandal and continuing waste of taxpayer’s money thanks to the Ontario liberal political party's government that continues to be propped up by unionized labour movement and its political wing the NDP party!

Liberal party premier Kathleen Wynne and former liberal Premier McGuinty’s political energy deal with Samsung was going to create 16,000 new green energy jobs at taxpayer energy buyback cost of $9.7 Billion for an original investment of $7 Billion by Samsung!

Resulting in a $2.7 Billion taxpayer cost in securing a $7 Billion Samsung energy investment in Ontario for a possible 16,000 green energy jobs.

However, as of today this $2.7 Billion, taxpayer-funded investment cost has resulted in only 641 jobs. (401 jobs at CS wind, 200 jobs at Siemens and 30 jobs SMA Solar as reported by Antonella Artuso, with thanks)

Now, Samsung’s reduced investment shall be $5 Billion for those originally proposed 900 green jobs with the taxpayers being on the hook for a reduced energy buyback cost of $6 Billion?

A $6 Billion taxpayer-funded cost to secure a $5 Billion Samsung energy investment and 900 green energy jobs that are protected only until 2016? With the politically estimated possibility of some 9,000 temporary construction jobs reduced from the original estimate of 16,000!  

That works out now costing the taxpayers $6.7 Million for every ONE new green energy job from the 900 to be created by this downsized Samsung investment of $5 Billion at a taxpayer energy buyback cost of $6 Billion. With these 900 new green energy jobs to be protected only unit 2016! 

That is the jest of the liberal-NDP coalition energy plan that the liberals brag is “a good deal for ratepayers” and their NDP collation political partners defend as “obtaining significant gains for the public”?

You as informed taxpayers, voters and possible voters must decide!

Let’s recap so that we all readily understand just what this Ontario liberal-NDP coalition political party government movement has decided!

Now 900 green energy jobs shall cost $6 Billion to taxpayers in energy buyback costs over the next twenty years for a downsized Samsung investment of $5 Billion as a green energy investment in Ontario with the possibility of perhaps 9,000 temporary green energy jobs!

Thus instead of the political possibility of 16,000 green energy jobs at a taxpayer cost of $9.7 Billion (green energy buybacks) the liberal-NDP coalition political party government has decided that the original 900 green energy jobs shall now cost $6 Billion (energy buyback costs) over the next twenty years from Samsung for Samsung's $5 Billion downsized investment in Ontario for the political temporary green jobs estimated to now possibly only 9,000 down from the original 16,000?

In other words $6.7 Million taxpayers’ fork out for every ONE green energy job out of the total 900 jobs!  

This Ontario liberal-NDP coalition political party government movement continues to lack accountability, transparency, and ethics along with any moral right to continue governing.

Considering all current and past scandals and mismanagement coupled with the current lack of meaningful legislative oversight, in my opinion. 

Further this latest factual news item was NOT front page news for the Toronto Star but rather in the business section.

Unfortunately the Toronto Star and other media outlets, in my opinion, shamelessly are continuing with their attempt to conjured up stories related solely too an unverified phantom video based on rumors, hearsay and non judicial opinions about Mayor Ford or his brother as a Cortina de Humo.

As their editorial board continues to front page what if scenarios about Toronto’s Mayor Rob Ford in their endless attempts to divert attention away from the scandalous mismanagement that continues to go unabated at Queens Park with rumors, gossip and hearsay stories about Mayor Ford as relentlessly conjured up by anonymous sources! 

At least the Mayor of Toronto and his administration have attempted to hold the line on expenses at city hall and eliminate the $60 car tax and have not squandered $ 3 to $ 4 Billion dollars of taxpayer funds while increasing provincial spending by another $3.7 Billion through a $1.9 Billion one year increase in Ontario taxpayers debt in addition to their $24 Billion increase in total taxpayer debt that now has brought Ontario’s total debt (taxpayers) to $281 Billion!

Hopefully voters now realize the obvious that it is not the Mayor of Toronto who needs to resign or take a leave of absence but rather the leader of the Ontario liberal party and her NDP political cohort for continuing to waste BILLIONS of dollars annually collected from taxpayers for unsustainable and unaffordable programs based on the ideologies of collective liberalized socialism.

The media’s continued attempts at hoodwinking the voters through using Mayor Ford as a Cortina de Humo in my opinion shall fail.
