Hunting For “RED OCTOBER” In July, And Every Day Forward.

Updated: Feb 21


Hello everyone once again we are in pursuit of change as stated in the title hunting for “RED OCTOBER”. "RED" Meaning “Real Economic Development”. However, originally it refers to the Revolution of 1917 Russia. Key word being "Revolution" not in the sense that we all know but rather the search for accountable education, compassionately driven skilled trades apprenticeships, craftsman, tradesman, capitalistic entrepreneurial driven competitors, that embrace opportunities for the people and that of our free world. What becomes of this is a New Private College Development, Creating the Ambition, Jobs, Prosperity, Economic Stability, Inspiring Alternatives to Skills and Educational Opportunities, and just about everything that a (Non-Compromised) thriving Constitutionally Driven Nation requires.


Examples of such are expressed in many ways; The Rolling Stones, and one of their earlier songs called “The Beast of Burden” which means; an animal such as a Mule or Donkey. However, today and all of our worldly shenanigan narratives seems to want to leash everyone to become the ultimate “MULES” of society? “Slavery”

In Canada we have a yearly seasonal time change expressed as “Spring Forward & Fall Back”. However, since 1960 we have seen a continuous progression of the term “Fall Back”, the “Spring Forward” has been taken a back seat for years due to our incompetent intentional shallow narrow minded leadership from both our Federal & Provincial governments of this country including our Public Institutions. Where a much needed Alternative Industry Based College of "Critical Thought" not "Biased, Subjective or Emotional Thinking is required creating our "Competitive Stance" among our monopolies. “Compromise”


“Be All That You Can Be” I believe this saying has been a strong part of our neighbors to the south USA. Where the meaning is pretty much self explanatory at every level, it truly has become the foundation of their Nation. However, again our worldly narrative shenanigans are being orchestrated even in the US trying to create a “Leash” and turn everyone into a “MULE”. “Eliminating Critical Thought”


“The Delivery Room” This one has a very clear meaning. I would like to express this as what we all know it to be “BIRTH” of a new beginning. A child being that of a “Boy or Girl” and know other, creating our future to embrace our heritage and history, to learn and build upon and continue our core values, faith, morals, respect, family, work, our Inherited Rights, Constitutional Freedoms, and the Rule of Law.

Below are 4 great examples just Ontario alone and what capitalism has done for these individuals who immigrated from other countries to embrace the greater opportunities of Capitalism here in Canada.

Born in Hungary in 1935, Frank Hasenfratz arrived in Canada in 1957 a penniless refugee and was welcomed into his adoptive country with open arms, a practice he tirelessly advocated our governments to continue to do. He arrived without means but with something more important, a skill. As a certified machinist, Frank built a career and ultimately a company, Linamar Corporation, that today employs 26,000 people around the world, including 11,000 right here in Canada, many of whom are new immigrants to this country just as he was. His unparalleled work ethic. Mr. Hasenfratz also attended trade and engineering technical schools while working as a toolmaker and machinist. https://www.linamar.com/team/frank-hasenfratz/


KLAUS D. WOERNER 1939-2005, Mr. Woerner was one of the country's most successful immigrant entrepreneurs. He trained as a clock maker and tool maker in Germany before moving to Canada in 1960. Initially, he intended to work on the Avro Arrow. Then prime minister John Diefenbaker cancelled the fighter plane project before the 20-year-old could get his hands on it. Instead, Mr. Woerner took jobs in Montreal, while he worked to complete his Canadian high-school diploma and as he began evening engineering courses. After several years, he moved to Toronto. He founded ATS in 1978 as a tool and die manufacturer, taking out a second mortgage on his home and investing $70,000. After the company landed several large contracts, Mr. Woerner steered it into the then-nascent area of robotics. Today, ATS designs and produces automated manufacturing and test systems for big companies in the automotive, electronics, medical and consumer products industries. The Cambridge, Ont., firm employs about 4,000 people and posted annual sales of $665-million in 2004. https://nationalpost.remembering.ca/obituary/klaus-woerner-1065392320


Robert Schad is a Canadian businessman and founder of Husky Injection Molding Systems of Bolton, ON. Schad emigrated to Canada from Germany in 1951 after studying mechanical engineering. Shortly thereafter, he founded Husky in 1953, then a snowmobile manufacturing company producing the Husky mobile. The commercial interest in this product was limited causing the business focus to change from snowmobile manufacturing to that of toolmaking, making tools, dies, and fixtures for others. He produced molds and dies of the highest quality for high production applications. Schad felt that molding machines of the time, 1960, were “too slow” to run his molds at their full potential, so he designed and built his own high-speed injection molding machine. The company had found it niche and grew rapidly supplying high speed molding machinery to customers in more than 100 countries, annual revenue in the range of one billion dollars, and employing 1000’s of people. He also founded Husky’s hot runner division in Milton, VT, an industry leader in the area of hot runners for high cavitation injection molds. As Husky’s former president and CEO, Schad was known for fostering a corporate culture that promotes excellence, innovation, leadership, teamwork, and environmental responsibility, long before this was mainstream. Schad retired from Husky in 2005. In 2008, Robert Schad founded Athena Automation, a manufacturer of injection molding machines. Working with customers, suppliers, and mold makers, Athena has developed a rugged, accurate, and flexible two-platen machine platform that features energy efficiency, process repeatability, and reduced mold maintenance. He has also created the Schad Foundation, which supports projects focused on solutions to environmental problems, and is active in Earth Rangers, a wildlife, conservation, and education organization that helps young people nurture a lifelong commitment to the environment. He has received honorary doctorates from Carleton University and McMaster University and the Lifetime Achievement Award from The Plastics Academy in 2003. Note; I often laugh of a missed opportunity when I was referred to Robert Schad by Matthew Gaasenbeek III. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/industrialist-robert-schad-looks-to-a-fresh-start-after-long-legal-battle/article30132036/


Born in Weiz, Switzerland, Stronach emigrated to Canada in 1954, with a working background in tool and machine engineering. Three years later, he formed a tool and die company, Multimatic Investements Limited. In 1969, this company merged with the Magna Electronics Corporation Limited, with Stronach as one of the controlling shareholders. Four years later, the corporation was transformed into Magna International Inc. Mr. Stronach is the Chairperson of its Board and coordinates global strategies with respect to technology, marketing, product development, and key management. https://www.smu.ca/academics/archives/frank-stronach.html


Note; And today Frank Stronach voices himself? However, I do like the part about a “Revolution”. Listen to this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlhktH6-Fns



In view of this book called "In Defense Of Capitalism" Debunking The Myths, by Rainer Zitelmann.


Capitalism is an economic system, based on Private Ownership, and “Competition”, the entrepreneurs play book. For most people, however, some economic models are too difficult to understand. However, simple applies to ones every day process as in this New Institutional Development being presented here and throughout the many other blog articles where the development becomes completely understood? Capitalism has done more to overcome many things such as poverty and hunger, and now including such an “Absurd” corrupt government as we have all come to know. The greatest man-made famines in the past 100 years occurred under "Socialism" not Capitalism? Most people understand “Performance” meaning both the time spent and the intensity of a person’s effort or endeavor. A set Prerequisite that corresponds to the personal experience of employees or workers and that their wage and salary are proportionate to their effort. Those who work longer or harder earn more? This is what most people see as fair? In a capitalist economy whenever a new method of production, a new commercial combination, or a new form of organization is successfully introduced a premium of capitalism attaches to the innovation. But many don’t understand the principle behind it, it is not the amount of work that matters, but the benefit provided to society. Putting aside the toys & trinkets of today’s technology world would lessen the confusion and regain focus, and perhaps understand the subliminal undermining of our true nature, values of life itself, work, family, prosperity, friends, and freedom. Catalyzing change is a skill that drives one to strive for something more positive such as in this direct industry based College development where a (new approach to costs, accountable education and skills development) are achieved. An Alternative College with a direct change from our past 60 years through a grounded practical achievable progression. With Canada being deliberately pushed to 9th out of 10, for economically free countries this New College Development would certainly accelerated the clime by energizing the entrepreneurial mind set creating the ambition from within ultimately creating greater achievable opportunities for the people?


"VISION"; I would like to re-share a vision of a former Chairman, President, and CEO of Chrysler Canada Yves Landry. His vision was "To forge an Enlightened Partnership between "Industry and Education", Train a Would -Class pool of Skilled Manufacturing Workers, Technicians, Technologists and Engineers, and secure Technological Advantages in a Rapidly changing world." These words are most inspiring and valuable today. Therefore, It is of great importance for Canadians and Industry in creating such a needed change assisting and creating our Next Generation of Skills and greater Opportunities for Canadians Directly.


I also strongly believe that these 4 entrepreneurs mentioned above with the exception of KLAUS D. WOERNER would embrace Yves Landry's vision, including the 2 outstanding articles in support of such a change below?


AD&P February 2005, are you experienced? There is a non-trivial problem that the U.S based auto industry is going to be facing (And to some extent already is getting smacked in the jaw), and it is not overcapacity, outsourcing of jobs, or declining sales although there are all of those. The problem that the auto industry leaders will come up against is the fact that because of both downsizing and demographics there will be a death of experienced people at all levels of the organizations. They insist that actual experience is vital for learning. They write, “Deep smarts constitute practice based wisdom”. Experience defines us professionally especially in those fields in which practice is critical than book learning. One of the reasons so many Internet start-ups failed was that their founders had little entrepreneurial or managerial experience to match their technological deep smarts. These people had “A”s in technology but little in hands on experience. Not all failed. One of the reasons why some of the companies succeeded was because there were coaches who had experience who worked with the founders. For one thing, the authors point out that the people need to practice their area of expertise. Most evidence suggests that it takes about ten years of concentrated study and practice to become expert (as opposed to merely competent). Ten years! What’s more, there needs to be desire: “there is strong evidence that extrinsic forces-rewards, threats, and the like – may induce people to work hard, but do not promote learning or creativity nearly as much as intrinsic motivation from wanting to learn. So, what is to be done? Executives who identify that their ranks of experienced managers will be collecting pensions in the not too distant future need to start working with the less experienced. Because we really do have the responsibility to ensure that those deep smarts that are essential to our organization are not lost. In automotive, plenty of those smarts have already walked out the door. Unless efforts are undertaken to help pass on the intelligence that remains to the following generation of managers and executives, then the external forces of the market will likely overwhelm the capabilities of the remaining internals.


AD&P February 2005: Four years into a bachelor's program, possibly another couple in graduate or professional school, and suddenly you’re on the fast track to a fulfilling and profitable career. This is the general thinking, but most university BA and B.Sc. graduates often find themselves saddled with thousands of dollars in cumbersome student debt. Students learning trades or apprentices studying as electrician, millwrights or metalworkers, however, will most likely earn tidy incomes as skilled trades upon graduation. More importantly, these trade’s people will be a hot commodity in the Canadian labour market. Their skills will be in high demand because of Canada’s aging industrial workforce. Canada’s industry will need 400,000 new workers within the next 10 years to replace retiring industrial trades people. This is a potential nightmare for companies that require a skilled workforce to run, oversee and maintain their operations. The Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association (APMA) has spoken out on the issue. Comprised of four-big Canadian manufacturers, says the skilled trades shortage is a grave threat facing the automotive industry. "Automotive parts manufacturers will be unable to fill 42% of the skilled trades through 2007,” says APMA’s President Gerry Fedchum. “The biggest problem is getting employers to train” says Rob Easto, senior manager of program development and standards, Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (OMTCU). Part of the problem is that some companies cut back on apprenticeship programs and training in the 1990s. None of the clients I’ve worked with have apprenticeship programs. It has to do with the “leaning” out by industry, when organizations stripped themselves to the bone, says Alistair Varley, a maintenance specialist with Toronto business consultancy EMA Inc. Lots of firms did away with their apprenticeship programs. It’s hard to add them back into corporate budgets. I think it started when the government stopped sponsoring apprentices. Companies also held back on apprentices because they weren’t getting any money back from the government. Pending legislation by the Ontario government may soon provide a fiscal incentive for companies to start hiring apprentices again. When the bill is passed, OMTCUs Esatro says the province will provide up to $5,000 a year in tax rebates per apprentice for up to three years. This is roughly the amount of time it takes to train an apprentice. Besides the expense involved in training someone for three years, which can add up to $250,000 over the life of the apprenticeship, there’s also the lost productivity of ticketed staff that are actually doing most of the training. “Unless you’re looking at training as a long-term investment, then many companies just see it as an annoyance,” he says. It’s costing them to train people and they require attention from fully skilled workers whose productivity also goes down. While these fears are certainly relevant, industry has to look at the situation from the perspective of providing new talent to the general labour pool. “It’s really a mass balance in industry.” As stated above.


Summary: As you view the Multiple Industry Sectors within our Maple Leaf Logo above it in part embraces our economic infrastructure. “Performance” as stated above, meaning both the time spent and the intensity of a person’s effort or endeavor which is vitally important today. A set of Prerequisites that corresponds to the personal experience of our students, employees and will truly inspire worker ethics that embrace their effort through to completion. In a capitalist economy whenever a new method of production "such as the one being proposed", a new commercial combination, or when a new form of organization is successfully introduced a premium of capitalism attaches to the innovation. But many don’t understand the principle behind it, it is not the amount of work that matters, but the benefit provided to the people of our Nation. Clearly, as stated above creating Partnerships between an "Accredited College or University, Industry, and this New Private Educational Industry Based College Development", to Train a Would Class Pool of Skilled Manufacturing Workers, Technicians, Technologists and Engineers, to assist in the research & development securing Technological Advantages in our Rapidly changing world would be an asset.


In pursuit of a "Strong and Powerful Board of Directors" where the achievements would be "Paramount".
