Flathead Lake Monster



It seems BC conservationists have run into a less than reluctant if not outright hostile BC government when it comes to saving Flathead Lake, part of the Waterton National Park system, from resource development. So in a variation on P3 funding, they have put up their own money to save the valley.....

Conservation groups put up $9.4-million to save Flathead Valley

Cryptozoologists should be concerned as well since Flathead Lake is home to Ogopogo's cousin the Flathead Lake Monster. And even if it is an ancient fossil fish, they too are endangered. Except in Wisconsin apparently

Average Canadian family debt hits $100000

The report, released by the Vanier Institute of the Family on Thursday, suggests the debt-to-income ratio is a record 150 per cent.

Banks are finding us RRSP-fatigued



America The Great Satan

Says Canadian Teen Idol Justin Bieber..... pop culture mullah....waiting for Fox News to comment.....

In the interview, Bieber also weighs in on the U.S. health care system.

"You guys are evil," he says. "Canada's the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don't need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard's baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby's premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home."

Millions of Germs and Bacteria Await Kids at School : Food Poison ...

* A cafeteria tray had more than ten times as many germs as a toilet seat (33,800 bacterial cells per square inch vs. 3,200 bacterial cells per square inch).
Call it germophobia news created by pandemic media outbreaks. But thanks to all that pandemic panic a simple solution to cleaning a tray, is to grab one of those ubiquitous ever present disinfectant wipes and give the tray a good wiping. And then do it again with a second cloth.

Mind you this is scary....

"We saw as many bacteria on some food trays as we saw on a toilet," said Hancock.

Swabs were taken from a gas station toilet for comparison and lab technicians did find similar types and amounts of pathogens.


Yep gas station bathrooms are notorious for being dirty.....say no more.....good thing they have those disinfectant dispensers in them too now...whenever we read or hear stories like this....disinfectant manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank......
