THE INEVITABLE
As the nation continues to spend like a drunken sailor, pushing the national debt in excess of $14 trillion and our present unpaid commitments to entitlements to over $62 trillion, we accelerate toward the day (within the next five to ten years) when just paying interest on the debt we are amassing will exceed $700 billion and just paying entitlements annually will exceed $2 trillion. After interest on the debt and entitlements, there will be precious little left for discretionary spending. In short, as economists from Clinton OMB Chief Alice Rivlin to Bush Comptroller General David Walker have told us, the spending spree is unsustainable. That means either uncontrolled spending will bring down the entire economy and with it the government, or the threat of collapse will yield a political change that results in massive spending cuts. Either way, the federal government is about to become much smaller....[full story]

Attention all Birder Lovers
We need your immediate assistance to stop one of the most ridiculous land use proposals we have every seen.                While the Ontario Legislature is placing a moratorium on off-shore wind energy parks, it seems to be going full steam ahead on on-shore or coastal wind energy parks.  In fact, there are approximately 23 wind energy parks – 12 in service and 11 in development – in Ontario today.  This does not include the many other applications currently before the Ministry of Environment....[full story]

Big Pharma Routinely Suppresses Data from Clinical Trials—but FDA Approves These Dangerous Drugs Anyway!
Help us persuade Congress to reform the agency with our Action Alert! Drug research, even from clinical trials sponsored by the federal government, is routinely suppressed, according to a new study in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), an international peer-reviewed medical publication. The study found that less than half of all NIH-funded clinical drug trials were published in a medical journal within two and a half years of the trial’s completion—with fully one-third of trial results remaining unpublished even four years after the trial. Why? Because the drug manufacturers didn’t like the data....[full story]

I have been involved in the Natural Medicine health care industry in Ontario as an entrepreneur/micro-small family business owner since 1972.  One of my challenges has been the ever escalating and increasingly nonsensical Red Tape burdens created by various levels of government corporations, their agents, servants and sub-delegates.  My journey as an entrepreneur hasn’t been an easy one....[full story]

The raw milk martyr
For nearly a month now, Canadian rancher Michael Schmidt has been engaged in a hunger strike. For over 17 years, Schmidt has been crusading for the right to distribute raw milk to a few hundred Ontario consumers who own shares in his herd of cows. He says he has been unable to convince anyone in a position of power to discuss how he and other raw dairy farmers can simultaneously service their herdshare members and abide by public health safety concerns. Instead, as he told me last week: "My farm has been raided by armed officers, my family has been terrorized, and I have been dragged through the courts -- first being acquitted and then being found guilty."...[full story]
