Putting the “P” back in Federal Conservative Politics

The lack of Progressive, ideas, attitude and overall respect for the political process is defamatory in my perception. I find it hard to take the Conservative Party of Canada seriously because it lacks a sense national unity, the kind of unity that was Brian Mulrouney was able to cultivate when he was the Prime Minister of Canada, and although Stephen Harper’s legacy of conservaitive elections and nearly a decade of ruling power was impressive the implosion of the last election is a great example of just damaged he left the party withough

 

Progressive Canadian Politics

The Conservative Party of Canada would do the same as Patrick Brown if smart and move back to its Progressive “Red Tory” roots, for any chance of surviving or will Elizabeth May and the Green Party of Canada get there first?
 
At this moment in time Justin Trudeau is visiting Barack Obama, Drake has the keys to the city , DMF Energy Inc. is on the right path, and Facebook is planning on teaming up with the NFL for live streaming,for the record according to NPR, a consultant with SAP said 100,000,000 hours of video is consumed globally each day.

Understanding Anger

Understanding Anger 
Anger is an emotion that tells us when something is wrong. We can feel angry when something is beyond our control or feels unfair, when we feel we can’t reach a goal, or when someone is hurt or threatened under too much stress. Anger can involve a wide range of feelings. Sometimes the results of these feelings end in violence, the repercussion of these acts have a grave impact not only on the individual who commits the crime but on society a whole. Not all these acts are trialed, passing the homeless man on the street, or the beggar downt 
 
I know the emotion of anger very well, we all do, the difference is some of us grow and learn from it versus allowing the emotion to control us.Within my community there is a lot of anger, however at the same time an amazing amount of love, support and compassion. I’m proud of my Halifax, Nova Scotia (former city) roots but I’m a nationalist and always dreamed of exploring the word,

Dear 667 (District 12: Halifax Downtown, Nova Scotia 2008)

To My; Friends, Family, Colleagues, Associates, Constituents  in Canada and around the World,

 

As the Co-Chair for School Advisory Council for Citadel High School, in Halifax, Nova Scotia (former city)  part of my duty was to sit on the School Discipline Committee, this comittee assemled guidelines provided forced me to enforce the

expelled 20 Kids from school and regular learning activities, the affects of making these decisions as a 25 year old young man

 

during that time, 19 of them where “African Canadian”.  The development of the  DMF Energy Security & Climate Change Leadership Program, is led by Ashish Ranjan, a Senior Engineering Consultant and leader    

In 2008 when I ran for city council there was a public speaking event CBC Nova Scotia covered called “Why black youth don’t vote”, (http://bit.ly/20TLrfu) you can tell I was annoyed with the title but even more so when an older community leader tried to justify the apathy in the youth, Ray Lewis gave a passionate speech recently about ending violence, the Footballer in me shares that passion and determination for change.

At 23 I didn’t realize how cold the world could be, but today at 31 despite recent and on going tragedies and challenges I remain Determined, Motivated and Focused on “being the change” as Gandhi once said and with this new political landscape, I’ll be putting these words to the test for the current government. I’m joining the reserves because I want to fight for Peace and because Lester B. Pearson did, if Justin Trudeau’s favorite Prime Minister is Wilfred Laurier, The Honorable Lester  B. Pearson, would definitely be mine, his globalization accomplishments bringing peace to the world through diplomacy over war and violence is inspiring to me.

We all have our short comings, that’s just life, but despite the darkness in our most desperate hours I believe the future is very bright! To my community and loved ones in Halifax who in 2008 took the time to vote for me in the Halifax Municipal Election, thank you for continuing to believe in the best of me.

Atlantic Canada Legacy 

The declining economic importance of coal led to Dominion Coal’s withdrawal in 1967; the publicly owned Cape Breton Development Corporation (DEVCO) closed the town’s one remaining colliery in the 1980s; and Devco itself was dismantled and all its assets sold off, at the turn of the 21st century. Some residents find employment in the one remaining large working colliery in the Sydney coalfield.

The Truth About Titanfile

In 2010-2011 I was the owner of a Mortgage Brokerage firm called Downey Mortgage & Financial Inc. I wanted to innovate and provide my customers with quality service that led to the development of a loan proposal and secure file sharing technology called UNUS Loan Proposal Technology, and then evolved into Titanfile Secure File Sharing Technology. I received business financing from the CBDC Blue Water Corporation (CYBF) and Credit Union Atlantic (CUA) and matched those contributions with my own individual funds.

The resources were originally allocated to a traditional brick and mortar office setup; however I quickly realized the need to also have an online platform to maximize our service reach. This was a time of massive Social Media and Software as a Service (SaaS) expansion. I went on Kijii to look for a developer to help the firm adapt to the technology market. I knew sales and marketing but I wasn’t a programmer. My Ad was answered by a young man named Milian Verkic, a Canadian Newcomer from Serbia who just recently moved from Vancouver, BC to Halifax.

The name of his company was Mojo Labs, he built websites and had a programming background, I hired Milan to assist with the development Downey Mortgage & Financial Inc. Over the course of the next months my world as I knew it would be flipped upside down and the individuals who I allowed in my inner circle would end up betraying me which led to my exile from Nova Scotia for almost a decade.

It wasn’t just one relationship and or organization but a combination of many factors that led to me having to leave Atlantic Canada back in 2011. While I invested my heart and soul into my business and provided many customers with quality service overall my dreams crashed and burned while the foundation of the work I started was celebrated, exulted and rewarded. I’ve been thinking about writing this post for many years, probably since 2016 seriously however I never could quite find the words, my emotions where still too charged however in this moment now I feel it is finally time to share my truth and put this issue to rest.

As a founder of the secure file sharing company called Titanfile I never received any acknowledgment or contribution. This company eventually sold to Hitachi for over $3 million dollars and continues to operate and be a reliable service for many today. Before it reached a croperate exist it was small start-up Milan and I were responsible for its inception and then a man named Tony came into the picture because of his superior technical expertise.
