Welcome to my site, I hope what you read here will help in your recovery. I was not lucky enough to have this kind of information available when I was injured due to employers carelessness, life will never be the same. This site is based on my thoughts and opinions and may not be viewed as politically correct all the time, I do NOT view the WCB’s as politically correct either.

For decades, Corporations like WCB also using the name WorkSafeBC and ICBC have been intentionally ruining peoples lives, why? To protect the almighty dollar and knock down the little guy? We let them do it to us without saying a word. Why is this site so important? Someday you or a loved one may be face to face with the WCB and their Illegal activities, knowledge is your best defence. I am fed up and am trying to make a difference. I actively run this blog while trying to survive the financial ruin and health decline bestowed upon me by WCB and Nexient Learning Inc.

As someone recovering from a devastating life change due to a job site accident and by the WCB (WorkSafe) need to keep the injured down and out. I for one can’t afford to pay more taxes which are designed to do one thing only, that is to give Corporations a free pass on their taxes by making Regular People pay a LOT more taxes on everything we need to live a normal life. I cannot let this happen and for that reason I want everyone to go to www.fightHST.com and register to collect signatures in a legal battle to stop Gordon Campbell from stealing even more money from the injured in BC.

We are lucky enough to have a former Premier of British Columbia spearheading this issue. Some loved him, some hated him, none of that makes a difference in this issue. Bill VanderZalm and his FightHST Team are the ONLY chance BC has to stop the HST HeiST. If you are a registered voter in BC, you too can make a difference in this battle against the EVIL Liberals that have already taken away so much from the injured workers in British Columbia Canada. If you are not yet Registered to Vote in BC, you can still do so and have a say in this devastating issue by CLICKING HERE TO REGISTER.

Once this FightHST campaign is complete, the next step will be to remove the Liberals from their Dictatorship. Enough is Enough, I can’t take it anymore and will not stand by while even more is taken away from me and my family.

I know that this post has nothing at all to do with WCB or injuries, I am just shocked by it and thought I would toss the question out there.  Could this recent viral email be true?  I would love to know just how accurate the following information is.  The planet is in deep doodoo if this is accurate and true.

1. At Wal-Mart, Americans spend $36,000,000 every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private employer. And most can’t speak fluent English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, keeping in mind they did this in only 15 years.
8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket chains sought bankruptcy
(including Winn-Dixie).
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 years ago.
11. This year, 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at a Wal-Mart store. (Earth’s population is approximately 6.5 billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.
13. The value of product for Wal-Mart passing through the port of San Diego each year is a larger sum than 93% of ALL countries Gross National Product
(GNP) …and that is only ONE port …one way that Wal-Mart gets it’s stuff.
14. Of the 1.6  million employees, only 1.2% make a living above the poverty level.
15. Wal-Mart’s head office is located and centralized in Bentonville.  Due to this fact, there are more millionaires per square mile there than any place on Earth.
16. The official U.S. Government position is that Wal-Mart’s prices are no lower than anyone else’s when compared to a typical families weekly purchases.  That’s the view of the statisticians at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) responsible for calculating the consumer price index
(CPI).
17.   92% of everything Wal-Mart sells, comes from China. Another 4% comes from Chinese owned companies in the U.S. or in 3rd world countries.
18. Wal-Mart and MOST large companies, take out life insurance on it’s employees, without their knowing.  If an employee dies, ALL the insurance moneys go to the companies. i..e. An employee making $18,000 per year, dies, and the company might make as much as $1 million.  Most  often these moneys, coming from what is commonly referred to as “Dead Peasant Life Insurance Policies,” is paid out to executives as bonuses. (A common practice, unknown by the common man.)
19.   Wal-Mart now averages a “profit” (not sales) of $36 billion per year.

On April 28 2009 I held a rally at the WCB (WorkSafeBC) office in Prince George BC.

The turn out for picketers was poor due to the cold but I was able to get 168 signatures on my petition.
There was hundreds of people that drove by honking their horns and giving thumbs up. An old couple in their seventies pulled up and thanked me for taking action. They are currently looking after their son that was hurt at work and is now so upset he is contemplating suicide.
I plan to hold the rally again next year! Instead of only having a month to get ready I have all year. The next rally should be bigger and better.
For more information I can be contacted by posting comments on this post.

Everyone knows “You should have life insurance”.  Well I’m here to tell you that if you have Industrial Alliance Life Insurance and you are a Senior Citizen, you may not be as safe as you think.

A slickster name Mike H____k from Surrey BC, sold a life insurance policy to an 80 old lady over 4 years ago.  He worked with a Multi Level Marketing Corporation with the initials CDM_.  She trusted this overly religious man because he spent all of his time worming his way into her trust.  He made a huge chunk of money by dividing the insurance into two policies for both children.  He convinced this Lady to put extra money in every year because he said it would pay for itself in a few years, what he didn’t tell her was that it was draining her investment accounts.

The policy cost more than this lady makes per year, the payments drained her life savings, she could not afford to keep paying them and Industrial Alliance canceled them on her.

The lady filed a complaint with the Insurance Commission which asked Mr. H____k if he sold her the right policy, he said “yes, I just did what she asked me to do” they said, “ok, we believe you and not this 84 year old woman”.  A number of other agents have looked at this policy and have been completely disgusted at what this man did to this Senior.

The sad part is that this lady tried to change representatives to help her figure out her policy and Industrial Alliance told the new agent he would have to pay $1200 in order to be the representative on the policy.  There is something very shady in this behavior.  This is looking like a Corporation trying to pocket all the money and push the Senior out of her policy.  Is that legal?

Industrial Alliance seems to be pulling some shady deals, the Insurance council doesn’t seem to care at all, they just seem to exist to cover Agent’s Butts.

This Senior Lady is now out over $100,000 in cash and her policies worth $70,000 and $90,000 are terminated because the company would not reply to her inquiry regarding minimum payments or combining the policies to make it affordable.
