John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes was a British Economist born on the 5th of June in 1883. His ideas on the Economy would revolutionize the way nations did their Finances. He led his own successful career as a Independant Investor. He also had striking personal life outside the world of economics. He died on the 21st of April in 1946.

John Keynes made his living working for Alfred Marshall when he was appointed to the royal commission on Indian finances, this was his first job. He was later appointed to the British finance department during world war one. He gained quite a reputation when he told the allies that they were making the Germans pay to much and this would cause the German economy to collapse. Which it nearly did during the hyperinflation of 1923. Germany would go on to pay only a fraction of what was asked of them. For the next decade or so Keynes would go on to make a fortune as a private investor, he lost his fortune during the crash of 1929 but regained it shortly thereafter. In 1942 Keynes was admitted to the house of Lords of Baron Keynes. This would be the peak of his Economic career.

John Keynes also led a interesting Life outside of Economics. For the Majority of his life, all his romantic relationships were with other men. His lovers included Duncan Grant a famous artist, and Lytton Starchey a writer. But in 1921 he fell deeply in love with a woman, Lydia Lopokova a Russian ballerina, they were married in 1925 but they would never have children. Keynes was also very intelligent in general, few who argued against him left without changing their minds about that particular subject. This gave him great respect amongst his fellow peers. He attended church during his teens but would turn away from religion when he went to university and it would stay that way until his death.

John Keynes made remarkable changes to the economics of his time. He had the idea that Economies should be treated on a National level instead of just case by case for each Corporation. He also pushed governments to spend money they didnt have, creating credit in order to accomplish important tasks, such as fighting world war two. After the war ended Keynes helped push for a single International currency, but unfortunately he would pass away before he could even hope that any of these things have come to pass. There is some speculation that if Keynes had continued to live that perhaps we would be using one currency around the world today.

Throughout his life John Maynerd Keynes did many things, he changed the way we looked at our economies, he made a fortune, lost it and then regained it again. This took a great deal of intelligence. He did all this while keeping what could have been called a "scandalous"personnal life under wrap. He even became a member of the house of lords, quite an accomplishment in his time where depression and war were the main happenings. He did many things and we probably will never see a man like him again in history.

Oka Crisis

In 1717 The Governor of New France, granted some land that included an old Mohawk cemetery to a Catholic Seminary, this is where the Oka crisis began. The Mohawk believed that the catholics were only going to hold the lands for a short time before turning them back over to them. This never occurred and in 1868, one year after confederation the leader of the Mohawk condemned the seminary for holding the land illegally even though they had every legal right to hold that land. The Mohawk proceeded to attempt to seize the seminary by armed force, local authorities dealt with the problem. I believe this shows one of the key points about the crisis, the land didn't actually belong to the Mohawk. Other important parts about this are the lives that were lost and the fact that the people who killed them never faced charges. Also, why did the Mohawks believe that they had the right to commit acts of terrorism?

Firstly this Crisis should never had occurred, the Mohawk had no rights to the land anymore, nor did they ever really. They did have the right to protest yes, but building a barricade and having armed men guard it is absolutely unacceptable. They had even tried to make a claim on the land multiple times, every time their case was dismissed. This shows that they were really the only ones who thought that the land was theirs. The response by the Mohawk in my opinion is childish at best.

Corporal Marcel Lemay, a police officer was killed during the short burst of fighting that this Crisis created. We don't know who killed him, but considering the tactics used by the Canadian Armed Forces, one could accurately guess that he was killed by the "Protesters" in the confusion created by the Concussion (Flash Bang) grenades. Why wasn't this case ever investigated and the perpetrator brought to justice? What was so special about this situation that made it ok for an officer to be killed? there is no logical answer to these questions, someone is being allowed to avoid paying for his acts and this is nothing short of disgusting.

Why oh why were the Mohawks allowed to commit terrorist acts and get away with it? This is a flaw in the way our government deals with Aboriginal issues. What honestly makes them think that they can do these kinds of things? If it had been any other kind of group doing these protest they would have all been severely prosecuted and convicted of acts of terrorism. But somehow they are simply allowed to return to their reservations and continue collecting money from the government. How much longer are we going to take this? The Mohawks decided that the land was theirs, no one agrees with them and instead of doing what everyone else has to and just adapting to the change, they think that if they just get louder and whine more that people will give them their way, and we did. What are we, Spineless?

In conclusion, all this Crisis has shown is that we are a far weaker nation than we think, we need to start dealing with our own problems within our borders before going ashore, like Afganistan.

Red River emerangy workers

Although there are many dangers to working in emergancy situations, I believe the risk to be worth what can be saved, lives. There is no greater way to die than to die for another person in my opinion. Another benifit to working in these situations would be that you know that your job isnt boring. Its fast paced, exciting and requires an alert mind. Sounds like a grand way to live if you ask me.

1. North Korea should be allowed to develop their own space program as supervised by another country ( The US most likely ) But they should not be allowed to develop nuclear technologies because of the constant threats they make with what technology they have now.
