Thanks to an elecion call today Bill C-61 - An Act to amend the Copyright Act is dead because it never made it to the 3rd & final reading!  I'm sure the CRIA & other interest groups are pretty ticked off!  This is the 2nd time they came close to getting changes done to the copyright act so they can start suing everybody for downloading music.  However after this election they will be even more aggressive in getting what they want done to the copyright act.  I'm predicting that won't happen until sometime in 2009.  Although I hope i'm wrong.  I just hope they every Canadian citizen tells the politicans where they stand & what they want done to the copyright act when the politicans come knocking on their doors!  I'm guessing the corporate music industry will be throwing lots of money to the political parties in order to swing them to their point of view.  However its the voters the politicans better listen too because the corporate music industry will not be the ones electing or re-electing politicans.  It is us the consumer that will be doing that!

      If anyone see's Harper on the campaign trail ask him the following question - "Do you love Canada now?"  Apparently its a real tough question for him to answer!  The day after he toppled Martin's gov't when he ran the last time a reporter ask him if he loves Canada.  Harper couldn't answer it - pfft!   Yet people voted him to be Prime Minister - go figure! At least Dion said in his election speech today that he loves Canada! 

Did you ever go to any yard sales or a fleamarket before?  If you didn't then you don't know what great deals your missing.  Especially this day & age when a person needs to save where they can.  You can find every thing & just about anything at them.  I've gotten phones with caller ID built in & answering machines for a $1.  I've picked up a mic for my pc that would cost around $10 - $12 at an electronic store but I got it for $1.   I've sceen 19 inch tv's going for $10 & yes they work - lol!  A few weeks ago I saw a coffee table with 2 end tables going for $10 & they were in good shape too!   I've seen vcr's & dvd player's going between $5-$10.  Heck i've even picked up a universal remote for $1-$2.  When at a yard sale & find something that's a little too pricey then make a better offer to get a better deal!  If a person was just starting out to live on there own then a yard sale in a great place to get stuff to furnish your place.  I even saw a mini fridge & tires at a yard sale. Today for instance I went to a yard that was giving away plates, cups, saucers & other stuff for free.   You can't beat good freebee's like that!   Like the old saying goes "one person's junk is another person's treasure". 

 

I took this photo about 1 or 2 months ago.   As soon as I saw it I just had to get my camera - hehehe!  The funny thing is that  it was left that way for over a week - LOL!  For those of you who don't see the funny in it or take an offence to it i do have a suggestion.    Read the Parental Advisory on the top of this page instead of  ratting my fanny out!
