Auto Industry Bail Out

Saturday Night Live has been on a role of late with the election, the economic crisis and now the Detroit auto manufactures.

This video targets the auto industry 'bail-out'. It is over the top but pretty funny. Enjoy!

WHY OBAMA?

I do a lot of business in the United States so I have had my share of opinions on the current US regime but I have also had many opinions shared with me by my American friends and colleagues.

Quite simply when it comes down to it, American citizens could choose a new party and the leader of that new party to lead the nation or simply re-elect the same party that has caused havoc the last 8 years.
This election was not won based on promises, policies, or leadership. It was won simply based on the need for change.

I know many US republicans, die hard republicans who would not and could not support another 4 years of republicans in office. Frankly George Bush won this election for the democrats. A quick look at some of Bush’s blunders that made supporting republicans nearly impossible to do.

1. Foreign Policy – Bush was seen as a bully and held little regard for other nation’s rights to sovereignty. Provoking terrorists and nations to attack the US through his statements was irresponsible and actions of a bully.

2. Fiscal Policy – During Bush’s time in office the US public debt has exceeded $10 trillion dollars. There always seems to be plenty of money for his war, but not for the troops who fight the battles, not for the health care of the citizens of the United States and not for education. Granted has not had significant tax increases however amassing that much debt and leaving the mess for someone else to deal with is irresponsible and unacceptable.

3. Civil Liberties – Bush removed certain civil liberties from the American people such as allowing unlawful detention, ability to spy on individuals without obtaining a warrant, and searching of one’s home or business without the owner’s permission or knowledge.

There are obviously many other factors that contributed to the republican party downfall such as the on-going troops in Iraq, lying to the public about evidence of WMD, torture, response to hurricane Katrina, pre presidential business affairs, drug use, and lying about military service. While many of these fall on the sole discretion of Bush’s choices it is the first three main points that have many republicans questioning the parties direction and in my opinion contributed to the results of this latest election more so than any other factor(s).

That being said I believe Obama is a very intelligent man and a solid leader who will no doubt improve foreign relations. If I had a vote it would have been for Obama. That being said I do have concerns with his economic policy and thoughts on trade agreements. We will have to wait to see how that shapes up.

Congratulations Box Springs Business Park!

Friday November 30^th at 8:00 marks the grand opening of Costco at the Box Springs Business Park. While the opening of another ‘box store’ may not be significant to some, it is in my opinion a small piece of a much larger puzzle yet to be completed, that will only serve, to make Medicine Hat a better place to live and do business. For that Box Springs Business Park deserves to be congratulated.

Leadership, vision, and passion are just some of the adjectives that could be used to describe Spencer Lacey, John Hashem, Darren Skovmose, Albert Stark, and Warren Stark who are the five partners involved in BSBP. Years ago they took it upon themselves to purchase the land that today is known as BSBP. They knew in their hearts and in their minds that Medicine Hat is a great city and proceeded to go out and attract new corporations to Medicine Hat.

What is truly amazing, is the entire process they had to go through to get to this stage. It was not a simple transaction of purchasing land, finding a buyer and reselling it. The land had no services; roads, sewer, gas, electricity, nothing. In order to make this land commercially viable the group had to make significant investments to get the land to the point where it is usable and sellable.

The BSBP group had to have unwavering faith in this community that their large personal investments would be not go up in smoke and that they could convince other corporations what most of us already know, Medicine Hat is a fantastic city. In this case they had to convince a company that does 60 billion a year in sales that Medicine Hat is a place they needed to be doing business.

I am proud and grateful that that this group of entrepreneurs has the necessary fortitude and determination to reach their goals and make Medicine Hat a better community today and for years to come. Congratulations Box Springs Business Park, take a bow, you have earned it.

Changing the way I think, I think…

My objective is to make more of a commitment to fair-mindedness.

I don't think I would define myself as egocentric , however I think it is important that I realize that it does play a role in the way my mind works. I had to start at looking at how my identity was self-centrally shaped. For example at young age our parents instill into us particular beliefs about a wide variety of topics such as religion, politics, family, relationships, and schooling to name a few. We are a product of these influences and through understanding this I am able to be more than a product of those influences.

Before I continue I want to make it clear I am not bashing my parents, it is just an example of a type of influence, it could be teachers, television shows, or even newspapers. I.E I choose to read the Calgary Sun as a youngster because it was an easier less bulky paper to read than the Herald. The Calgary Sun, even more so years ago than today, are very politically conservative and I let a lot my thoughts and formations of opinion (which I believed to be correct) be influenced by the Sun's political views.

When I examined my attitudes I often found that unconsciously I often referred back to these influences to justify my beliefs (mostly belief that I am right). Some of these falsehoods are;

• It's true because I believe it - I tend to agree with people who believe the same things I do and not question them and conversely feel people are wrong because they don't have the same belief.
• It's true because we believe it - It's easy to believe something is true because a group of us believe the same thing and of course because we are a group we must have unique insight.
• It's true because I want to believe it - It is easy to believe, even to the point of absurdly that a point of view is correct because I badly want to believe it. Therefore I don't question it.
• It's true because I have always believed it - We automatically assume a long standing belief to be right. Man I have never been so wrong.
• It's true because it's in my selfish interest to believe it - If it serves to make me happy, wealthier, it is a lit easier to believe it to be true and not question it.

Basically I am trying to consciously recognize these tendencies and deliberately try to overcome them and think fair-mindedly.

The only caveat is if I am having a few beers I am still go to believe the Flames are the best hockey team, the Stamps the best football team, and my hole in one was all skill. I will argue that I am right until I am blue in the face even it does go against everything I just said. :-)
