May - Canada rained under

For the month of MAY it has been record-breaking rain across most of Canada.

Massive flooding in Manitoba, and even more in Quebec. Five weeks of flooding, and they say no sign of the rain stopping.

With all the rain Northern Alberta was on fire for May, with the city of Slave Lake burning; about 400 houses gone, but amazingly no deaths. Southern Alberta in the last week of no stop rain is in many places flooding, some areas very serious.

The story and news clips from Joplin and the destruction from the huge tornado is still very shocking to see. Deaths so far 142 and 100 still unaccounted for. As there is in such disasters a little good news; one search dog sniffed out a life, but not a human life; it found another live dog under the rubble, and it was brought to safety.

Canada was voted 2nd in the countries of the world for LEAST VIOLENCE! New Zealand was first.
The USA was way down on the list at 62nd.

Canadian Prime Minister Harper is in Greece, to give moral support to its Government as it battles with cut-downs to prevent bankruptcy. Canada is in a good position to give advice as it was one of the few countries in the West to come through the 2008 economic meltdown, relatively unscathed. But GREECE is in terrible trouble and Europe will try to bail them out, on the promise they make cuts in getting back into financial shape. Of course the people, and thousands in the Government work section are unhappy and demonstrating. Time will tell how Greece can improve its poor-boy image in Europe.
