QUESTIONS

(same old story)

Gasoline in the Greater Toronto Area today is, 6 dollars and twenty six cents a gallon. $6.26.

And it’s $6.26 at every major gasoline station in the GTA.  Esso, Petrocan, Shell, Husky, Sunoco!

Do we expect this blatant example of price fixing will ever come to the attention of the

toothless Competition bureau in Ottawa?  If it’s not price fixing, than what is it?

Are we to believe that the operating costs of each gasoline company, Esso, PetroCan, Shell, Husky and Sunoco

are identical, therefore each must charge exactly the same price for gas?  Is this what they’re telling us?

Do we believe this makes sense?

(Statistics Canada)

On April 7, 2012 Stats Can reported that during March, Ontario added 46-thousand jobs!

Did anybody in the Main Stream media challenge those numbers?

There were 22 hiring days in March.  That means 2-thousand and ninety-one jobs(2 ,091) were created in Ontario

every hiring day.  And the entire media bought this?

Did anybody look at the 46-thousand and calculate the obvious-

that 460 companies in Ontario each needed to add 100 people to their payroll in March?  Do we believe this happened?

But what if the figure is true?  Does that mean that every the reporter, editor and columnist missed the biggest story of 2012?

Wouldn’t the hiring of 46-thousand people in one province in one month create a dramatic, one of a kind good news story?

Can you keep that kind of story(if it’s real), a secret?

Could one thousand companies in ontario hire 46 people(that would be 2.09 people) a month and nobody notice?

So do you think stats coming from Statistics Canada are reliable?  Unassailable?  Goofy?

If you think reliable, by July Ontario’s unemployment rate should be down to 5%!

And  if unassailable that boast by Flinty Mcguinty that the HST will create 500-thousand jobs will come to fruition.

And if goofy , PIGS WILL FLY?

(Baseball)

What’s wrong with this picture, the Blue Jays are batting and although there are two outs, the bases are loaded and

the batter is Jose Bautista, one of the most feared hitters in baseball and all of a sudden Brett Lawrie, our guy

on third base makes a dash for home–a decision doomed about the time of conception, therefore a dramatic failure

in execution.  Third out.  The bat falls from the hands of Jose Bautista and with it the prospect of  possible success!

Is Lawrie humbled by his brain cramp? Is he apologetic for trying to be a showboat ?  He is not!

Was his dash to home plate with no hope of success a team building effort? HARDLY!

There is a difference between irrational exuberance and stupidity, isn’t there?

All is forgiven.  The Jays win the last game of the series with Baltimore, and Lawrie hits a home run!

So everything is HOKAY?
