It's been awhile since I have added anything to this blog. Sometimes, I wonder, what's the use? But then I think to myself that if I express certain things and lay things out for discussion, then like minded individuals will too. And if there are enough people that agree that certain things have got to change in order to create a better balance, then changes can be made through writing letters to the editor of our local newspapers and our political representatives. We can also vote with our wallets. For example, I buy second hand now since everything seems to be made in China.
The latest thing that has caught my eye is something called "Peak Oil". There are a growing body of people who think this will be a very important issue in times to come. How far away is it? I don't know but I do feel that it's something I will experience in my lifetime. While we ship junk from miles away and also those things we can be growing and producing ourselves, there could be a coming oil crisis.

About Me
- Carefulspider
- I am a Canadian woman interested in history, politics and the world we live in. Currently, I am concerned about our trade agreements and their impact on Canadians and people in other countries. It think it is time to have an honest discussion about trade agreements and to contact our political representatives about making it fair to workers as well as corporations. As we race to the bottom line, I wonder what kind of a world this is going to be.
