This is going to be my final year in post-secondary education, it will be very different not returning to Conestoga College after the summer term. Anyway, let's get underway what has happened over the summer term, I have not been posting blogs throughout the summer because, I believed that, the summer it self would be a very quit, nothing big will occur, I was horribly mistaken, the Russian Separatists shot down that passenger airplane, ISIS taking a page out of Adolf Hitler's book, and the airplanes being shot down or gone missing.
International News
This summer has been horrible for airlines, my family and I stopped using airlines because the fee for a family of six (6) would be ridiculous, but that is not the point, the main factor I am truing to understand is, why are passenger airplanes being targeted? This is the question everyone should be asking themselves right now, they are not a threat, they just move people from one country to another. Russia is going to be in huge trouble, why, the European Union, Canada and the United States have imposed sanctions that will hurt Russia's economy and move them into isolation. This is summer, as I say again, has been absolutely horrible for airplanes, mainly passenger airplanes. The crisis in Israel and Gaza, that is also extremely terrible, the cease fire that was supposed to last 72 hours, only lasted 48 hours or less. There is so much tension between the two that, I have a feeling, will wipe each other out, unless the United Nations and the EU and Western countries help them compromise, I know that the United States is doing their best to help, but so far it is like taking two steps forward and two steps backwards, it is not going to get better when the two sides absolutely hate each. This summer, around the world, has been, violent, deadly and dangerous, I do hope, we will not be looking into the face of another world war.
Waterloo Region News
Now for news coming from Waterloo Region, construction season is still in full swing, the proposed LRT has been approved, and the construction for it has begun. The infrastructure for it is being done, and the person who's lawsuit got thrown out of court for trying to stop the LRT, has given up his case. Grand River Transit has implemented another of it's iXpress routes back in April, the mid-region iXpress. This iXpress travels from Sportsworld Crossing (King Street. E in Kitchener) to the Cambridge Centre (Hespeler Rd) via Maple Grove Rd (Highway 38), the Community of Fischer Mills in Hespeler, and the L.G. Lovell Industrial Park. From the research I have been looking at, the 203 Maple Grove iXpress's future route will be Franklin Blvd, Fischer Mills, Maple Grove, Sportsworld, Conestoga College Cambridge & Doon to Fairview Park Mall in Kitchener. I went into detail if Waterloo region will get anymore iXpress routes, and from what I have been reading, we will be getting 5 more, the 204 Victoria-Highland iXpress will be implemented next year. I have a feeling that 2015, a lot more changes will occur, just like in 2011 a lot of changes were made.
I will be doing weekly updates for the blogs, I will do them every Sunday, since Sunday is the beginning of the new week, I can cover the past week's news and other updates as the week follows. During the week, I will make a brief news break, no blog, the blog will tie everything together.
NHL Hockey news
NJ Devils veteran goalie Martin Brodeur will not be returning in the Devils jersey (I have a hunch he will retire this season)
NJ Devils goalie Cory Schneider singed a 7 year contract
Montreal Candadiens P.K. Subban has agreed to an 8 year contract
That is this month's updates, the weekly blog posts will begin in the second week in September.
Enjoy the rest of your summer everyone.
Cheers,
David
