Headline
Justin Trudeau addressed the biggest rally in Ontario On October 04, 2015, first time ever the traffic on 410 and 401 was blocked by large number of busses and cars going to a Kennedy Road political event organized by Liberal Party of Canada. It was a Justin Trudeau who certainly has a power to attract such a large number of people on a Sunday event. The Powerade Centre has a seating capacity of 5000 but the spectators were way over 5,000 and many could not enter in the event hall due to building code restrictions. Even Trudeau said in his opening statement, “Stephen Harper just doesn’t see what you’re going through. When you spend a decade in a motorcade, you don’t have to worry about traffic jams.”
By Dominic Mainella Event started on time and the star of the event this time was not Justin Trudeau it was Sophie Trudeau and her memorable speech introducing Justin to the crowed. Twice she became emotional and literally sold him as a right candidate for Prime Minister’s job. “Trust me, apart from the kids, your energy just feeds him when he’s out on the road so long,” said Sophie Gregoire Trudeau. Justin came with leaderlike appearance and delivered the most comprehensive message appealing a really charged crowed came from Toronto, Markham, Richmond Hills, North York, Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon, Burlington, Oakville and Milton. Justin Trudeau looked at the cameras and recharged the crowed, “are you ready for change”? he asked and the crowed said, “yes”, he repeated, “are you ready to bring change to Ottawa”, and they answered with even louder voice, “yea”. Taking about Harper he said, “It’s time, my friends, to close the book on the Harper Decade.
Having failed to help Canadians where it matters, what is Stephen Harper left with? Fear. The politics of fear and division. Franklin Roosevelt said we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Well, Stephen Harper has nothing to offer but fear itself. Fear of terrorism. Fear of the world beyond our borders. Fear of each other. Well, let me tell you something. Fear makes us weak, not strong. The Prime Minister’s job is to bring Canadians together, not to tear us apart”. Harper wants Canadians to believe that their country is so weak that only thing standing between our safety and terrorism is him. To bring some undecided voters he said, “My friends, we’ve been through a lot, together, since then. The polls have gone up and down. The pundits have lauded us and lamented us. None of that matters. It never has. And it never will. I’ll tell you what does matter. We spent those years looking thousands and thousands of Canadians straight in the eye and asking simple questions: What kind of country do you want to build?
What kind of Canada do you want to leave to your kids? Do you want Stephen Harper’s unambitious vision of a small, fearful country? One where we are divided against one another and suspicious of the world, or, do you want a confident, positive vision of Canada? One that is cleareyed about the challenges we face, but optimistic that we have
all that we need to meet them head on”. His punch line was, “I believe in this country. I love it with all my heart. And I know you do too. See, our campaign has never been about me. It has never been about the Liberal Party. It has always been about Canadians. A better Canada is possible my friends. On October the 19th, let’s make it happen”.

Crombie Joins Canada’s Big City Mayors to call on Canadians to Vote for Cities Crombie Joins Canada’s Big City Mayors to call on Canadians to Vote for Cities
By Jennifer D’Cousta “Mississauga joins the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and municipal leaders from Canada’s biggest cities to urge Canadians to Vote for Cities in next week’s federal election,” Mayor Bonnie Crombie said today. Crombie, who already cast her ballot during the advance polls, made the comments as the one week countdown begins to the 42nd federal election taking place on October 19. The call for Canadians to “Vote for Cities” was an initiative of FCM’s Big City Mayors Caucus, of which Mayor Crombie is an active member. The Caucus represents 21 cities and a population of over 21 million people. “The priorities of Mississauga are the priorities of the majority of Canadians”, said Crom-
bie, who has used the federal election campaign as an opportunity to raise awareness and to press for dedicated and
predictable funding for public transit and infrastructure; new efforts to ignite local economic development opportunities
to attract job-creating investments; and increased support to build more affordable housing. These three issues were also at the heart of a special Mississauga federal election television debate Mayor Crombie hosted in collaboration with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and Rogers TV Cable 10. “Canadian families are demanding an unprecedented focus on cities in this election, and that’s created clear choices on the parties’ commitments to invest in city priorities like affordable housing and transit,” said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, Chair of Canada’s Big City Mayors Caucus. “On October 19th, a vote for Canada’s cities is a vote to grow Canada’s economy.” Mayor Crombie, and Canada’s big city municipal leaders, encouraged voters to consider three questions before casting their ballot: 1. Where does each party stand on the three key issues
facing urban voters: transit, infrastructure and housing? Party commitments on each of these issues can be found on FCM’s policy tracker. 2. Has your local candidate signed the #cdnmuni commitment? The commitment is an online pledge to work on the issues cities have defined as a priority. 3. Did your candidate show up at local debates held in your riding? The push for Canadians to “Vote for Cities” comes in the final days of an extended campaign from Canada’s Big City Mayors aimed at building a new relationship between all orders of government focused on issues that drive the economy and improve quality of life for Canadian families. Mayor Crombie concluded that, “I look forward to working with all elected officials who will put the best interests of Mississauga families first and foremost.”

Europe
Greece – an old page from a reporter’s diary During this election, Liberals are compelling Canadians that deficit is a good thing despite the fact that Ontario is already downgraded. Let’s see what the voters say on October 19.
By Pimenidou Elisabeth Greece honestly did not follow the basic rules of economy and chose to live beyond means as a result the economy sank with the whole country. Germany is the only hope to rescue Europe and Angela Merkel is determined to help. Reporting from Athens Greece, Oct 10, 2012: After three long years of silence on the part of Angela Merkel since the beginning of the economic crisis, the Chancellor of Germany decided to finally make a short visit to poverty stricken Greece. At 1:30 pm on Tuesday October 9th 2012 the plane carrying Chancellor Merkel landed on Greek ground at the E. Venizelos Airport. Awaiting a Chancellor In light of the impending visit from Merkel, however short it was arranged to be, the Greek nation managed to forget rivalries of every kind and unite under a single emotion: anger. An important part in this outcome had been the General Police Chief, Ioannis Dikopoulos, who in an unprecedented way managed to spread disbelief and outrage throughout the masses simply by making a decision: one to ban public demonstrations in the nation’s capital, Athens. In his own words: “by the decision of the Attica Police Chief for reasons public safety and to avoid disturbances on the social-economic life of the capital, during the time period of 9 am on Tuesday October 9th, 2012 and until 10 pm of the same day, every public outdoor meeting or march in the area of the city of Athens that
is surrounded by the following streets-avenues is forbidden.” An immediate answer, however, was given by the General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE) and the Civil Servants’ Confederation (ADEDY), in which they summoned all workers, pensioners and unemployed to combative mobilizations and labor rallies on Tuesday, 1 pm at Syntagma as well as through the work stoppage of Attica (from noon to 3 pm). It is their belief that the obsession with a complete abolition of the National Treaty and the demand for government regulation on minimal wage, compensations, etc. demolishes each and every labor, social and democratic right of workers. In a later announcement supported by GSEE: “GSEE condemns the unheard-of undemocratic government decision on mass prohibition of areas for meeting, marches and demonstrations. A big part of Athens’ center is being converted into a ‘forbidden city.’” And while the workers’ organizations are getting ready to march towards Syntagma, the opposing political party of PASOK finds itself against the ban as well. The spokeswoman of PASOK, Ms. Gennimata, states that the opposition against this specific decision resides in the fear of the outcome. As she has said, it is in their opinion that the ban will be responsible for an opposite reaction from the public than the one expected. Moreover, she also claims that
“while it is a very good chance of presenting with a united and convincing way the Greek issue, [the ban] makes the visit seem like a matter of public order and safety.” Landing on Bipolar Ground It was a little while before the prearranged time, at 1:25 pm, that Chancellor Merkel arrived in Athens, at the E. Venizelos Airport, where she was received with every solemnity required by the International Protocol by the Prime Minister of Greece, Antonis Samaras. Nevertheless, not everyone proved to be as courteous; unpaid employees of the Henry Dunant hospital managed to get past the police counter measures and actually throw water bottles at the cortege responsible for transferring Merkel and her coworkers to Maximos Mansion and later to the Presidential Mansion where she would meet with the President of the Hellenic Republic, Karolos Papoulias. In another part of Athens, in Syntagma Square, more than 50,000 protesters gathered to express their dislike of the German Chancellor as well as their opposition towards Samaras’ actions in many ways: people rode homemade “tanks” while wearing Nazi soldier uniforms, burned flags of Hitler’s fascist party and some even ran through the chaos naked. Despite the hostilities on behalf of the Greek people though, Merkel did not seem discouraged. As she
herself commented a few weeks later “I waited 34 years to protest. Who am I to complain about people protesting?” Meeting of Two Leaders At approximately 2 pm, the two leaders arrived at Maximos Mansion, where after 45 minutes of friendly discussion, both reached a positive conclusion. Prime Minister Samaras affirmed: “today I am accepting a friend. It is not the first time we have been given the opportunity to talk. In all of our discussions honesty, understanding and the feeling that we can overcome the European problem dominated. Besides, Europe is our home.” About his private talk with Chancellor Merkel, Samaras expressed Greece’s determination to overcome this crisis, which is a needed premise for the country to be rid of the recession and unemployment that cripple the economy. “I stressed the fact that the Greek nation is bleeding at this moment, but is determined to remain in euro. They don’t ask for favors, they ask for a chance to rise and reach their goals” he emphasized. As he later said, the Chancellor was empathic to the sacrifices of the Greek people and both of them discussed a way to make it work. While speaking to journalists afterwards, he claimed: “Merkel’s visit proves
that we are breaking free from an international isolation that existed thus far. The political force of a country is equivalent to her credence. Let us contemplate that today everyone admits that it is not a lost cause, Greece’s exit from the crisis.” “When you see that there is actual support, then anyone can understand there is only gain from the Chancellor’s presence in Greece. Anyone can understand the stature and power of Germany, therefore this contact is important.” The pleasantries continued from A. Merkel’s side as well. More specifically she said: “It was very gracious, Mr. Samaras’ welcome. I came, reciprocating to the invitation of a very, after his own visit. We are trying to Greece’s problems. I came here with consciousness that things are very difficult for the citizens of this country. A large part of the road has been travelled. At the Eurogroup we heard there has been progress. Now, Greece must fulfill its part for it will be worse in the future. United, we must set a framework so that our children and grandchildren may live in prosperity. There are still many things that must be done. We are not representatives of the Troika that has the duty to hammer out the respective essay, but we must complete our bilateral objects, must show the success of the programs we promote, which are headed in a very good direction. The programs of the Task Force are under German tutelage. We are in a position to jointly begin those programs, paving the way of a Greek-German co-operation.” “I am not here as a teacher giving grades, I am here to give support” was her answer to a Greek reporter when asked about the nature of her visit. And, she concluded by saying: “I came here to understand the situation on the ground. Close contact leads to greater understanding. What the visit means to Greeks, I don’t know.”

World
Niqab (women face covering) controversy resurfaced in France last year when a La Sorbonne University geography teacher asked a student to remove the head covering which is called Hijab. The professor didn’t say it because of her disliking Niqab but to help her with full honesty. “I am here to help you integrate into professional life, and “that” is going to cause you problems”, she said, while pointing to her head covering. The arguments lead to a bitter experience but most importantly, the University president personally reached the student and apologized.
Does Niqab matter on the Election Day?
France In 2004 prohibited Niqab, Burqa and all religious symbols in the schools and in 2010 in public. Scarf was allowed though. Last year the issue resurfaced when Nadine Morano, a French Conservative posted a comment on her Facebook, „I ask the Muslims who have chosen to live in France and to integrate, to the French Muslims who we respect, to help me defend a simple reality: France is not a religious state,” she said. In Canada, the government of Quebec passed a Niqab ban bill, banning face covering when dealing with the government in 2010 and since then the Niqab issue kept popping up. Apparently, most Canadians and Canadian Muslims are not so happy with Harper and Harper government since they started sounding like Nadine Morano. Conservative’s game is to gain some
right wing support in the country but from the first party position in polls it has become the 2nd party. However, NDP which topped the polls few weeks ago dropped to the 3rd party position because of Niqab controversy in Qubec, its strong base and Bloc Quebecois’s gaining popularity, thanks to Bloc’s ads on Niqab and crude oil pipelines issues in Quebec targeting NDP. Liberals however, are enjoying the friction among rivals and inching towards forming the very first minority government lead by Trudeau, a famous brand name of the Liberal Party of Canada, after almost a decade. Some voters are still undecided believing words like „spending, debt and deficit” are not economically favorable, balanced budgets, manufacturing and exports do.
Real Estate Bubble Perhaps no one believes it, but it is true that no one in Canada has land rights, and that the situation goes back to 1700 AD. Absolute right of property would result in the dissolution of society – this is a proven fact. For example, you can have a gun but you cannot use the gun to kill someone.
By Amir S. Ali If a land is registered in your name, you have the right to use it for the purpose it is said to be for, but not to destroy the land or pollute it in any way, and you can sell those rights or pass the land to anyone you like. You have the right to possess the land, but you do not own it; the government, and consequently the Queen of England, does. This brings us to the fact that the state has to protect its land or proper-ty and it is doing so very well. Going back to history, banks made money by lending, and if lending drops, their profit margin drops; so they make excuses to raise interest rates. They blame the GDP, the unemployment rate and inflation. In 1981 82 the interest rates rose to 19 % and it became almost impossible for a common person to buy a home. It was also evident that the rising interest rates did not help the econo-my or help the country to come out of recession. In 2008, when the recession hit, the government reduced interest rates to keep the economy afloat. It then gave confidence to investors to keep their money in the economy instead of buying gold or keeping money in the bank where they would not earn anything anyway, since the interest rates were so low. Government also helped the auto industry which was on the brink of collapse and poured millions of dollars into this sec-tor. The government’s reasoning was that if auto industry workers are out of jobs, the welfare system will have to invest in their well-being anyway
in addition to re-educating them. Treating jobless workers as a minority will result in many of them going into depression, the government believed. The government south of the border was under observation since 1991, when bank regulations were fewer and money for mortgages was available to almost anyone with a name and a pulse. The housing industry boomed and by 2001 the signs were clear that property values would decline – and they did. A great number of US banks knocked on our door but the gov-ernment did not issue a single licence, which saved the general public and banks in Canada. There are many people who have been waiting to buy property since 2001 when it seemed evident that the Canadian housing bubble would burst. Some Canadians still think that they will be able to buy a million-dollar property for less than a quarter of a million, but thanks to a strong banking system, that is not going to happen here. Having said that, correction in the downtown Toronto condo market, where some condos were sold at $ 700$l,100 per square foot, is imminent. But some investors bought at $ 400 500 per square foot, and they will be the winners when the market moves to correction. Thanks to nothing more than good marketing strategy, some builders made a fortune. Imagine a one bedroom plus den condo of 530 square feet sold at a price of $ 256,000 with parking included, vs. a condo of the same square footage for
$ 360,000-$ 550,000 plus an extra of $ 25,000-$ 45,000 for parking. People will say „ha, location, location, location”, but the above comparison is made in the same surroundings, as some of them were back-to-back with little change in design and features. This brings us to the question of whether or not there is a bubble. This is not south of the border and our banks did not give so-called „creative” mortgages to anyone. We do not have a collapsed auto industry, nor do we have a Lehman Brothers. There is absolutely no bubble here, and the worst thing that may happen is that the worth of condos will go down by 3 % max. House prices will not come down and they will keep increasing by 2 3 % instead of 6 8 % (the rate at which they were going up since 1997) or more, depending on location. In cities like Mississauga, the old houses are still sold for $ 200-$ 250 per square foot, and the majority of them have a basement apartment which pays half of their mortgage. Real estate is the only industry besides the tar sands industry in Alberta and the mining industry in Saskatchewan that is still creating jobs. Housing will remain a major industry in this country where over 200,000 immigrants arrive legally every year. The key is to slow down, tightening mortgage rules so that only those who can really afford one will come forward. The rest can „save” their money for a little while until they can afford the down payment they need to start enjoying a new home.

Atrophic
GASTRITIS
Diet
ATROPHIC GASTRITIS is a chronic condition where the lining of your stomach is constantly inflamed. Atrophic gastritis commonly develops over a long period of time and is caused by an H. phylori infection.
By Diane Marks The infection over time weakens the lining of the stomach, which
allows stomach acid to reach the soft tissue of the stomach. Constant inflammation wears on the stomach lining, which results in atrophic gastritis. The condition is treated with medications and a change in your diet. Talk with your doctor before you modify your diet. ABOUT ATROPHIC GASTRITIS Symptoms develop as a result of complications in the lining of
your stomach. Many people do not experience symptoms until the condition is severe. Symptoms that may develop include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain and weight loss. Symptoms may develop after eating or can remain constant. Most people who develop this condition are elderly because it takes time before symptoms appear. There is no cure for this
condition but it can be managed by eating the right foods and avoid foods that could irritate your stomach. FOODS TO AVOID Avoiding stomach irritants can help reduce symptoms and prevent the condition from becoming worse. Avoid smoking, ingesting caffeine, alcohol or spicy foods. Stay away from coffee, soda and tea and dairy products. Dairy products can cause digestive difficulty that can make your symptoms worse. Avoid foods that are high in fat and greasy foods. Some people may develop symptoms after eating foods that contain a lot of fiber because fiber is rough on the digestive system. EATING Eating less food more often can help atrophic gastritis. An empty stomach will contain

stomach acid that can eat away at the lining of the stomach. Keeping food in the stomach will absorb some of the acid, reducing the amount that will interact with the soft tissue. Eat foods that are bland and easy on the stomach. Foods that help promote regularity and digestive health include yogurt, bananas, white rice, white toast, potatoes, fruits and vegetables. Do not season the food and avoid using butter or cream on your food. YOGURT Eating plain, non-fat yogurt may help promote digestion health, according to AskDrSears. com. Plain, non-fat yogurt contains live and active cultures that help maintain regularity and can help build up your immune system. The cultures in yogurt can also help repair damaged tissue in the stomach and intestines.
