The price of goods and services in Canada are very costly. In other words expensive! Not only its expensive but adding gst and pst for the goods and services is too much!! The cheapest commodity is food. But know what? The news has it that too many Canadians get hungry for they cannot avail themselves of food. Why?
The standard of living in Canada just like other European countries are high. The cheapest rental unit in small cities is $800/month and in the bigger cities just like Vancouver is $1,000/month, utilities are not included. Who do you think can afford housing of $5,000/month that include all the utilities in it? You're right you have to be at least earning $6,000 to $7,000/month to be able to afford that kind of standard. You have to be a manager or supervisor of a big company to earn that amount of money. With the problem of unemployment on the rise where you think they can earn that? So more people are getting out and moving out of the big cities. However is that the solution to their problem? When there is not much employment in the smaller communities?
The great good thing about Canada is the country's government provide solution to help the needy people of this country. Why not? Canada is considered to be one of the richest countries in the world. However you cannot abuse the resources because sometimes bad climate can take its toll on the sources of supply. There can be scarcity problem when the resources are not enough because you have to remember that Canada also help other countries. But who should Canada help first? That's the million dollar question.
I once listened and watched the US Presidential debate between Pres. Obama and Gov. Romney and was shocked of how many millions of Americans who relied on food stamps, imagine 47 million Americans benefit from the food stamp. They too have food bank. I couldn't believe it. The great America that we know is no longer powerful and no longer the source of all precious commodities. Or maybe I was wrong. Maybe I din't hear it correctly. The war with the terrorists is the culprit to all this and not to mention the illegal migrants. Plus the many disaster brought on by flash flood, cyclones, storms and the over use of credit cards. Millions upon millions of American abused their credit cards. That's what I read from many news around the world. Is that the truth? Or the truth is when computer became a total hit in the US and almost everybody using the computerized system the once highly secured government system of America has been jeopardized in the hands of many hackers around the world. That could be it. Sometimes high technology pays the price.
Anyway, nowadays you have computer, all of us, billions of us can afford computer and you think all of us are employed because we feel like we are computing up to heaven and on earth to give us daily bread. We work at the convenience of our home thereby saving energy and fuel. We don't need to travel, by staying at home the country saves so much energy. Great conservation. It is by this kind of CONSERVATION, Bill Gates the president of the Universe is happy and grinning from ear to ear. The richest, wealthiest man on earth is happy and contented that billions of people are "indebted" to his genius working without pay and if these billions of people line up or queue at the food bank it doesn't matter. THE FOOD BANK pays the people who work at home. That's the only thing I can provide to ease the burden of the unemployed brought on by the new technology.
I don't know who will buy Windows 8 when Windows 7 is just two years old. What if you bought the Windows 8? Then after a year or two you have another new coming Windows 9? When Windows 7 still is great and so as Windows XP. I know of a computer software engineer who still uses his Windows 98 because it is still functioning as a computer.
With the lastest EPassport known to Canada that a special machine robotized to secure reading your identity at the airport? Dude that's also eliminating the many security guards (people) at the airport. I don't know how many people will be eliminated so that the machines can work for the country.
As if this new technology didn't cause so much troubles in the past. So why they have to do it again in our time? Who we should blame?
