Rod: Government of Canada use funny math in compiling statistics. For close to a decade now they have been claiming inflation rate has been in the 1 to 3 % range. I don't know what they buy in that sample shopping cart, but it sure ain't the items I have to buy every week.

Way back in the 60s, then Prime Minister Lester Pearson, as he was putting the Canada Pension Plan before Parliment, "These pensions will be indexed to inflation forever". Well guess what, I know guys that were getting over $500. per month in 1975. If you compound the consumer price index since 1975, it has multiplied 4 times yet the maximum pension 2007 is $845, HARDLY FOUR TIMES THE 1975 LEVEL.

Back when ole Lester was making the anouncement in the mid 60s my dad and I were farming together. We had an accountant, big fan of Lester's, even tried to look like Lester. Together we watched Lester's speech on TV and my dad said, "This is good for me, however you young lads are going to be screwed on Canada Pension." Well, my dad, the accountant and Lester are all deceased now, leaving me with a Canada Pension roughly 40% of what it should be. I paid this money in and as Lester declared these were basically a sacred thrust to be invested wisely on our behalf.

Our government, best organized bunch of criminals I know of. I wouldn't put too much faith in their automatic transmission declaration. Certainly wouldn't buy, based on their recomendation.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
