It's common knowledge that food costs are rising because fuel costs are rising and the two are closely connected. Are the oil barons getting too greedy? Is their greed costing lives in the third world? Should commodities speculation drive the cost of oil? Should people be gambling with oil commodities like gamblers play with poker chips? In reality peoples lives are at stake in this game. While Oil barons save money for their future generations and their great great grand children, poor children in Africa are starving right now. Oil companies find the oil so the government gives it all to the finder (the oil company) but do not the resources of Canada also belong to the citizens of Canada, at least in part. Shouldn't every Canadian receive a royalty on these oil profits, other-wise it's just first come first serve and to heck with the rest of the people that come along after the fact. Some officials would argue that we do receive side benifits from those excessive oil profits but the truth is the average Canadian receives little or no benefit. Canada is the second largest country on earth. Our geography is spread out over a vast area. A low price for gas is critical here so commuters can travel to and from work and our economy can function normally. Without a sensible price for gas, this countries entire economy will become unstable as appears to already be happening. The manufacturing sector in Ontario is already faltering. If our politicians don't get their heads out of the sand and do something about this looming gas crisis the damage to our economy will be great. It is important to note here that the high cost of fuel will indirectly drive up the cost of everything else we purchase. If the price of gas reaches $1.40 per liter this summer as predicted, it will most likely trigger a recession which could last two years or longer. click here and read the Hirsch Report The global warming scare is bound to make cars the big culprit because they are gas powered vehicles so will anyone really be rushing out to buy a new gas powered car knowing new gas taxes are looming and oil reserves are in question? Oil companies often give mixed messages about just how much oil reserves remain so can we really trust them when they say there's still enough oil for the next decade? We see shortages of fuel in other countrys today. When is it going to start here? Since oil companies sell gas and Automakers sell cars that use gas, it would seem to be mutually beneficial for them to continue the status-quo. What if everyone stopped buying cars? Perhaps that would send a message to them to do something. Perhaps then they might push harder for hydrogen or electric cars as an alternative mode of transportation. , , , , , , , , , NBTV would like your opinion on something. There have been many concerns expressed lately about the dangers of surfing on certain video websites and some viewers are worried. When you purchase a car, an appliance or an electronic device, you would be concerned if it didn't pass certain safety standards or that it might present a danger to you and your family. Wouldn't you expect similar safety standards to be in place on the web site that you and your family watches. It's time to speak out about the web sites that promote bullying, prejudice, violence, and other hate crimes. You know which web sites we're talking about. And it's not just websites. We are beginning to notice some of this on the mainstream TV stations as well as in the movie theaters. This website is moderated. We guarantee that nothing will ever be posted on NBTV that will present a danger to you or your loved ones. That's the NBTV promise.

Would Canadians be better served if all elected members ran as independents like John Nunziata or Chuck Cadman? The second question is : If a member is elected under one party banner, should they be allowed to switch to another party mid-term like Belinda Stronic did in May 2005 when she changed her affiliation from Conservative to Liberal?

This was a message from the management of NBTV- Here is a little bit of history for you now. Did you know that in the early 1900"s there was a silver smelter in operation on the shore of Trout Lake? The foundation is still visible at Delaney Bay. In some cases lead was mixed with silver to help remove silver from the ore. Sometimes mercury and aluminum sulfate flux's were also used in the smelting process. Very little is known about the smelting process used in the Trout Lake operation. Today Trout Lake is the main source of drinking water for North Bay. Another fact of history you may find interesting is sitting on a pedistal in Lee Park. The CF-100 fighter was a formidable aircraft of it's time but few people know it was developed by the Avro Arrow Corporation and the CF-100 was the for-runner to the sleek and powerful "Avro Arrow" which was mysteriously scrapped by the Defenbaker government in 1959. The Avro Arrow CF-105 was intended to reach speeds of Mach 2 and altitudes of 50,000 feet or higher. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Click on any of the links that follow in this scrolling marquee - Click Here >>> Local Weather - Career Opportunities - Upload My Videos - Computer Training - Computer Courses - Advertising Rates - News Archive - Storm Pictures - Bulldogs Highlights - North Bay Thunders - Trailer Park Boys - Pizza Hut - Standard Auto Glass - Ringuette Auto Sales - Euphoria Smoothies - New North Bay - North Bay Online Mall - CORE Homeless Association - The Time Machine - Incredible Web Designs - Classic Collections - Oh Danny Boy - Rise - Hey You! - Music Archive - Video Archive - Image Archive , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , NBTV is listed number one on Google.ca when you use Google to lookup NBTV and our surrigate station newnorthbay.com is listed number one on Yahoo.ca.
