Conspiracy Theory

Is the Swine Flu really that much worse than the regular flu? Or is this just a big conspiracy to turn our world into a global mass of germa phobes in order to boost up prices on cleaning products, hand sanitizer, and vaccinations.

Is this a way to give our economy a much needed boost after a terrible recession? Kleenex, Advil, Hand Sanitizer, Lysol ... the list of huge companies that would benefit from a global virus taking the population by storm is endless!

Think about it ... these are companies who employ thousands of workers! Get people thinking they NEED hand sanitizer, and it all of a sudden becomes a necessity rather than a want. The Gov't gets to spend a little bit of money without having people angry at them ... the big drug companies, who also employ thousands of people, start pumping out the drugs which costs a ton, and everybody feels safe because they're now immune to this horrible horrible Swine Flu that's killing people all over the world....

Did I go a bit too Mel Gibson on ya there? Probably. Is there some sort of conspiracy to the whole Swine Flu ... nah! Am I going to get my shots ... yes ... yes I am.




The inaugural flight for Swanberg Air in Swift Current happened yesterday. I just checked out their website to see how much it would cost to go to Calgary for the weekend .... $357 to Calgary on a Friday ... $315 back from Calgary on Monday. A bit to pricey for a radio guy who has the 6 hours to drive there, but I can definitely see lots of oilfield companies taking advantage of this service.

I think its awesome! Thumbs up to John Parker and the crew from Southwest Community Futures and anyone else who helped out on this project! Just another reason Swift Current is the best small town to call home in Saskatchewan!!
