2001 - 2011: The Lost Decade

The decade of 2001 to 2011 will probably be looked at as a lost decade for many. Economically stagnant and the major stock market indexes in North America were higher in the late 90s than today. It was a decade that started with George W. Bush and a vengeful American administration.

Personally the decade saw my quality of life shift significantly and remain there.

We may finally be able to look past this decade and move forward as a society and individually.

About 44 per cent Canadians say they've coped with a mental health problem such as extreme stress, depression, substance abuse or schizophrenia, according to a survey that suggests employees aren't the only ones paying the price

The report, Building Mentally Healthy Workplaces, was released by the Conference Board of Canada today based on a national survey of more than 1,000 employees

In the survey, 12 per cent of respondents said they were currently experiencing a mental health issue and another 32 per cent said they'd faced one in the past

The report suggests more openness in discussing mental health in the workplace and training for managers

Thailand General Election 2011

2011-06-19T20:11:00.004-04:00

Updated 19 Jun 2011 08:28 p.m. ET by meyer4m.blogspot.com

A general election will be held throughout Thailand on Sunday, 3 July, 2011.

Following the political crisis of 2005-2006 the People’s Power Party won a majority of seats in the parliament in 2007. Samak Sundaravej, party leader, became the 25th Prime Minister of Thailand.

On December 2, 2008, the People’s Power Party was dissolved due to alleged electoral fraud. This led to a series of demonstrations by Red Shirt protestors. As the protests grew, commerce in Bangkok ground to a halt. On April 10, 2010 the government attempted to disperse the protesters, leading to violent resistance where 27 protestors were killed and 800 wounded.

A November 14, 2010 election was agreed to in exchange for an end to the protests. Some protesters claimed that only the Election Commission had the authority to set a date for elections. Eventually the election date was set at July 3, 2011 by virtue of Royal Decree.

UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression Frank La Rue warned Friday that fearful Governments are increasingly restricting the flow of information on the Internet due to its potential to mobilize people to challenge the status quo.

"There should be as little restriction as possible to the flow of information via the Internet, except in a few, very exceptional, and limited circumstances prescribed by international human rights law..."

"Essentially, this means that any restriction must be clearly provided by law, and proven to be necessary and the least intrusive means available for the purpose of protecting the rights of others”

He also called upon Governments to develop a concrete and effective plan of action to make the Internet widely available, accessible and affordable to all segments of the population

We are witnessing growing pains of a country who's archaic parliamentary system isn't up to the challenges and expectations of a modern democracy

Protests were widespread and unprecedented not only G8/G20 but scattered protests previous winter during the parliamentary prorogation

House of Commons is not dysfunctional it is completely broken, where a party who only wins 1/3 popular vote runs the House and appoints Senate for which increasingly is stacked with political ideologues not those of sound judgement

Rather than a coalition we may need to proceed with proportional representation and abolish Senate with longer term view of forming an independent republic free of crown pomp and circumstance if we are to survive with our rights and freedoms intact

Yet when you listen carefully it is actually still a budget increase. The proposed budget increase of 3% is now closer to 2%.

Canada Broadcast Standards Council has ruled that the 1985 Dire Straits tune "Money for Nothing" is no longer acceptable for member stations to air in original format. The ruling was based on a complaint filed before the Broadcast Standards Council who represent most commercial radio stations in Canada

"Airwaves are public property and without context the song could be taken as repetitive emotional assault" Graeme Meyer, a civil rights activist said.

"It is not censorship in context that airwaves are public property and are regulated for content and member stations agree to abide by certain broadcast standards as privilege of being a broadcaster"

"The repetitive nature of most commercial radio makes any argument about censorship moot" he added

Health Delivery Funding and Discrimination

2011-01-07T18:26:00.005-05:00

Updated 07 Jan 2011 06:27 PM ET by meyer4m.blogspot.com

In Ontario funding health delivery is mixed source -- Funding from province federal and some privately-run funding schemes

Private clinics for specialty services are springing up and private hospitals have been around for decades often referred to as charity hospitals although patient delivery is funded through public health insurance as mandated

Health insurance fraud is commonplace and has been prosecuted

Many argue private funding injects much needed profit motive to increase patient turn-over times. Emergency wait times are used as triage however no reason wait times for standard procedures should be beyond what can be reasonably expected of a modern mixed-specialty health system in context of mixed urban and suburban city of multitude of physicians and experts and teachers in every discipline imaginable

Debating threat of discrimination from private health delivery is real concern

Public health delivery has layers of protection from federal and provincial statutes to Colleges of Physicians and Registered Nursing Associations and Unions

In some instances firing bad doctors or specialists is easier in private clinics and private hospitals however retraining is almost always the preferred disciplinary action and that is standard in public health system

Any sexual activity without consent is criminal. An intoxicated individual may not be able to consent

If the sexual activity is deemed exploitive such as where the victim is exploited by an individual in position of authority, the applicable age of consent is 18

A 14-15 year old may consent to sexual activity if the age difference between the consenting party is less than five years

Targeted audiences are putty in the hands of a skilled marketing expert. Brand management tools allow for global search and replace of any comments that may negatively impact your brand. As a means of exacting corporate revenge it is cut-throat ugly on display minute-by-minute

The NDP motion passed Canada House of Commons today viewed largely symbolic Conservatives voted against this motion curiously the Quebec separatist bloc voted for the motion

Some concern as enforcement of such an action would create violation internationally accepted marine law possibly discouraging tanker safety investment and in all likelihood remain a point of contention for which to draw attention to historical significance of coastal waters as they pertain indigenous communities which is good and fragile eco-systems

Should oil tanker traffic be diverted would necessitate tanker route detour cost and political fallout from testing this measure could be devastating in all likelihood an NDP good-will motion
