Defense minister says she's considering 'aggressive options' to increase Canada's military spending

Canada currently spends 1.39 per cent of its GDP on the military, according to the latest NATO figures, and has had no plan to hit the long-established two per cent target. Anand signalled that might change.

1.39% of 1.643 trillion = twenty-two billion eight hundred thirty-seven million seven hundred thousand.

National Architectural Conspiracy

Ministry of Design

On why we need Ministry of Design:

Public should trust architects the same way they trust a doctor or a car manufacturer or clothing designer. How do they believe in terms such as “fashionable”, “trendy” and “lifestyle”.

An architectural work is as expensive and visible as a car. How often do you request for a specific letter from calf skin with specific tread for stitching it around the steering wheel of your car?

There are far more visible things that the nation should be concerned. Like their prime minister face and hair style or his suite why not hold a public meeting for his blue suit?

If public is concerned about image of a nation, national identity and values why we don’t attempt to preserve our Boreal forest. Landscapes are not any of our concerns? Why do we focus on one building when oil industry is destroying beautiful landscapes?

The Unfortunate Ones

Less than a decade from now, when the border children, orphans of war and those left in the dark after natural disasters get older without proper care, love and education, we will have to face new challenges and face consequences of our decisions. We will probably need new labels as well; Criminal, Animal, Homeless and Savage will not apply to these forlorn beings.

"There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems." Network (1976)

"You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it! Is that clear? You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case! The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance! You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU... WILL... ATONE! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale? You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that... perfect world... in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel."

Denialism

Orthorexia
