      son
      was
      one
     
     
      of
      those
      strange
      deaths
      on
      Jan.
      13,
     
     
      2005
      and
      the
      investigation
      is
      still
     
     
      ongoing.
      :
     
    

    
     
      They
      have
      a
      two-year,
      minus
      a
     
     
      day
      policy
      to
      carry
      out
      the
     
     
      investigation.
      Jonathan
      was
      21
      when
     
     
      he
      went
      out
      to
      Grande
      Prairie.
     
     
      Alberta
      to
      better
      himself.
      Like
      all
     
     
      young
      men
      he
      had
      big
      dreams.
      He
      was
     
     
      a
      hard
      worker
      and
      loved
      his
      work
      as
     
     
      a
      well
      tester.Jonathan
      was
      a
      type
      of
     
     
      young
      man
      that
      had
      the
      biggest
      heart
     
     
      you
      could
      ever
      imagine
      and
      made
     
     
      everyone
      around
      him
      laugh
      no
      matter
     
     
      what
      mood
      they
      were
      in.
      He
      was
     
     
      loved
      by
      so
      many
      and
      only
      being
      out
     
     
      there
      for
      a
      year
      and
      a
      half
      he
      made
      a
     
     
      mountain
      of
      friends,
      plus
      the
      friends
     
     
      he
      left
      behind
      in
      Jacquet
      River,
     
     
      NB..plus
      his
      family.
     
    

    
     
      My
      son
      was
      one
      of
      those
     
     
      statistics
      that
      a
      parent
      never
      wants
      to
     
     
      go
      through
      and
      all
      because
      of
      lack
      of
     
     
      safety
      due
      to
      the
      inadequate
      safety
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Danger”
     
    
   
   
    
     
      supervision
      the
      company.
     
    

    
     
      My
      son
      ie
      while
      being
      left
     
     
      alone
      in
      an
      enclosed
      separator
      shack
     
     
      that
      sits
      over
      a
      well
      head
      for
      almost
     
     
      two
      hours.
      As
      we
      found
      out
      he
      was
     
     
      just
      another
      statistic
      like
      so
      many
     
     
      other
      young
      men
      and
      women
      today.
     
     
      Alberta
      is
      a
      booming
      province,
      they
     
     
      are
      coming
      here
      to
      the
      east
      to
      recruit
     
     
      our
      young
      people,
      how
      many
      come
     
     
      home
      like
      my
      son,
      in
      a
      wooden
      box.
     
    

    
     
      A
      nice
      image
      isn’t
      it?
      Yes
      it
     
     
      sounds
      tempting
      and
      the
      money
      is
     
     
      good
      and
      if
      you
      really
      want
      to
      go,
     
     
      please
      be
      careful
      and
      be
      sure
      your
     
     
      company
      follows
      the
      safety
      rules
      that
     
     
      ‘were
      put
      in
      place
      to
      prevent
      these
     
     
      strange
      deaths
      from
      occurring.
      But
      as
     
     
      a
      parent
      I
      am
      just
      stressing
      to
      other
     
     
      parents
      to
      warn
      there
      children
      to
      be
     
     
      extremely
      careful
      or
      to
      go
      elsewhere
     
     
      for
      work.
      Money
      is
      not
      everything,
     
     
      family
      is
      and
      living
      life
      to
      the
      fullest
     
     
      is,
      enjoying
      life
      on
      earth
      while
      you
     
     
      can.
     
    

    
     
      Jonathan
      now
      resides
      in
      heaven
     
     
      as
      our
      guardian
      angel
      and
      until
      this
     
     
      investigation
      is
      over,
      we
      are
      left
      in
     
     
      limbo
      not
      knowing
      what
      the
      outcome
     
    
   
   
    
     
      will
      be.
      I
      just
      want
      justice
      for
      those
     
     
      who
      are
      responsible
      for
      his
      death
      that
     
     
      was
      a
      preventable
      industrial
      accident.
     
    

    
     
      This
      of
      course
      is
      a
      parents
     
     
      worse
      nightmare,
      please
      think
      of
      your
     
     
      parents
      and
      family
      before
      you
      make
      a
     
     
      big
      decision
      to
      go
      out
      west
      or
      too
      any
     
     
      unsafe
      environment...money
      is
      not
     
     
      everything.
      Jonathan
      leaves
      behind
      his
     
     
      parents
      and
      a
      sister,
      plus
      many
      family
     
     
      members
      and
      friends
      whom
      miss
      him
     
     
      terribly.
      If
      I
      can
      change
      one
      persons
     
     
      mind
      ,
      my
      job
      will
      be
      done.

      applaude
      the
      :

      I
     
     
      would
      like
      to
      clarify
      a
      few
      points
      with
     
     
      regard
      to
      Remembrance
      day
      and
     
     
      Canada’s
      veterans.
      While
      in
      the
      past
     
     
      due
      to
      a
      lack
      of
      significant
      casualties
     
     
      in
      the
     
    

    
     
      Canadian
      Forces
     
     
      Remebrance
      day
      ceremonies
      have
     
     
      centered
      around
      the
      veterans
      from
     
     
      WW1,
      WW2
      and
      the
      Korean
      conflict
     
     
      I
      feel
      the
      need
      to
      point
      out
      that
      there
     
     
      are
      more
      who
      deserve
      our
      recognition.
     
    

    
     
      A
      veteran
      is
      any
      member
      of
      the
     
     
      military
      who
      has
      served
      or
      is
      currently
     
     
      serving
      the
      Canadian
      Forces.
      We
     
     
      currently
      have
      several
      students,
     
     
      friends
      and
      coworkers
      of
      mine,
      from
     
     
      UPEI
      who
      will
      be
      going
      to
      Afghanistan
     
     
      in
      Jan
      07.
      We
      have
      had
      42
      casualties
     
     
      since
      2002
      in
      that
      same
      area
      of
     
     
      operations,
      and
      more
      are
      expected.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      our
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      encourage
      everyone,
      whether
     
     
      they
      support
      what
      we
      are
      trying
      to
      do
     
     
      in
      Afghanistan
      or
      not,
      to
      remember
     
     
      these
      men
      and
      women
      on
     
     
      Remembrance
      day
      as
      well,
      and
      to
     
     
      think
      of
      those
      who
      are
      overseas
      who
     
     
      may
      not
      come
      home.
     
    

    
     
      I
      have
      a
      quote
      that
      seems

      Just
      recently,
      Milton
      Friedman,
      one
      of
     
     
      the
      chief
      economists
      in
      the
      Reagan-
     
     
      Mulroney
      era,
      passed
      away.
      Not
      only
     
     
      was
      he
      the
      chief
      architect
      of
      libertarian
     
     
      economic
      theories,
      but
      his
      theories
     
     
      have
      led
      to
      development
      in
      third
      and
     
     
      first
      world
      countries
      alike.
     
    

    
     
      Friedman
      believed
      that
     
     
      government
      should
      interfere
      as
      little
      as
     
     
      possible
      in
      the
      economy
      except
      for
     
     
      taking
      a
      hand
      in
      controlling
      the
      supply
     
     
      of
      money.
      His
      ideas
      were
      revolutionary
     
     
      at
      the
      time,
      since
      Keynes
      held
      sway,
     
     
      but
      they
      harked
      back
      to
      earlier
      thinkers
     
     
      such
      as
      Adam
      Smith.
     
    

    
     
      Friedman
      was
      not
      only
      brilliant,
     
     
      but
      possessed
      a
      creative
      mind
      able
      to
     
     
      synthesize,
      some
      experience
      with
      the
     
     
      school
      of
      hard
      knocks
      as
      well
      as
     
     
      academia.
      Friedman
      had
      the
      ability
      to
     
     
      earn
      the
      grudging
      respect
      even
      of
      his
     
     
      opponents,
      and
      sometimes
      even
      their
     
     
      reluctant
      acquiescence
      in
      the
      end.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      A
      Tribute
      to
      Milton
      Friedman
     
    
   
   
    
     
      That's
      the
      mark
      of
      a
      formidable
     
     
      thinker,
      one
      whose
      theories
      had
     
     
      predictive
      value.
      It's
      also
      the
      mark
      of
     
     
      an
      honest
      and
      open-minded
      opponent.
     
    

    
     
      Friedman's
      major
      achievement,
     
     
      the
      one
      for
      which
      he
      received
      the
     
     
      Nobel
      prize,
      was
      linking
      rising
     
     
      unemployment
      to
      rising
      inflation.
      He
     
     
      also
      suggested
      a
      remedy,
      one
      that's
     
     
      generally
      been
      followed:
      to
      have
      the
     
     
      Federal
      Reserve
      keep
      the
      money
     
     
      supply
      growing
      steadily.
     
    

    
     
      Friedman's
      passing
      is
      a
      sad
      day
     
     
      in
      Canadian
      and
      American
      history
      as
     
     
      much
      of
      our
      economic
      development
     
     
      is
      due
      to
      his
      pragmatic
      theories.
      Rest
     
     
      in
      peace
      Milton
      Friedman,
      you
      will
      be
     
     
      missed.
