The Canadian Government Begins Another Election...

4 elections in 7 years and the current Parliamentary system seem to be siblings in the crazy mess the Canadian Government has brought on itself. In the 2008 election the Government was announced a minority in favour of the Conservative party with the Liberals closely behind and the Bloc trailing in third. The only way to get decisions through a minority government is to convince enough opposing MPs to back the decision so it gets passed into a law.

Recently Steven Harper's Conservative government tried to push a new budget that would see Canada (in theory) have a surplus of money in two years.  The opposition then brought up multiple problems with this budget. They did not like where the money was going and didn’t agree with a lot of the budget cuts.  

The Lost City of Atlantis Found in Spain!?

The debate whether Atlantis existed has been around for thousands of years and it all started by the Greek philosopher Plato. His dialogues from about 355 B.C. are the only known historical sources of information about the mysterious city. In Plato’s dialogues he states that the island called Atlantis ‘in a single day and night… disappeared into the depths of the sea.’

Lead researcher Richard Freund, of the University of Hartford claims that his research team and himself have finally located Atlantis. Where did they finally find the lost city? Spain! Just north of Cadiz to be exact.

The Government of Canada Rebranded?

As the title states, according to CBC, the prime ministers office has decided that 'The Government of Canada' should be replaced. On all federal communications it now all says, 'The Harper Government'.

It seems to be partly a ploy by Steven Harper to build his image. He has gone onto the government of Canada website (which is payed for by the tax payers) and changed many headings to 'The Harper Government'.

Fallen by the wayside?

EA games is trying to overtake Activision as number one game publisher and it just might happen. The Call of Duty franchise has reached its peak. The "Old Guard" has left. Activision has not only angered the two creators of Infinity Ward, but they've enraged most of their staff. Thirty-eight Infinity Ward employees have left and formed a new company under EA.

The Infinity Ward team are innovators. They built the game engine (IW Engine). They pushed the boundaries and set the benchmark for all future FPS's. Treyarch can't do it alone, they're not innovators. Treyarch continuously pumps out the same game in different packaging. Treyarch games still can't measure up to Infinity Ward's games. Treyarch's "cookie cutter" way of cranking out games hit new heights when Activision announced the third developer to start the new installment of the Call of Duty franchise. Three games? Wow. I think one is enough, but why not? Let's milk this cash-cow for all it's worth since no other company has come out with anything that competes, until now.
