Finally after pressure from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) Bell is going to stop traffic shaping / throttling of internet traffic of their Internet customers.

While the United States government lies about their inflation numbers and creates inflation around the world by printing more U.S dollars, Canadian food prices have been rising at the fastest rate in two years. Many experts already know there is food inflation across the world and now it has been affecting Canadian consumers.

This video has some really solid statistics about Canadian peoples debt, the 30% senior citizen’s retiring and the glut of homes that will be entering the market that is going to drive home prices down.
It talks about how corporations has filled peoples head with ideas of a lifestyle that most debt ridden Canadian cannot really afford. This is a must watch, it is a hard look at the reality of things and the coming hardships.

Back in year 2003-2004 I worked at an enterprise technology company and was part of the outside sales team. There was two individuals that worked on the inside sales team…basically the group that offered sales support. The first guy let’s call him N. Singh and the second guy let’s call him J. Singh. These two individuals are real, NOT fictitious and it just so happens by coincidence that their last names are both Singh. They are also not related.
