I must say I'm constantly confounded that (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau seems to relish in having his photo taken sans suit jacket with his shirt sleeves rolled up. Kinda like he's trying to show Canadians that he's always working his tail off and ready to tackle anything that he's confronted with that may not be in the best interests of Canadians. Might I suggest that the real reason he always has his sleeves rolled up is that he's always coming from the closest sink where he is obsessed with trying to wash his hands from the Kinder Morgan pipeline issue. So can the scrubbing, Justin, the longer you sit on your hands in your lack of effort to resolve the Kinder Morgan dilemma, the dirtier they are going to get.
I believe if ever there was a time for a national Remembrance Day, the time is now. Let's honour the 16 victims of the terrible tragedy from the Humboldt Broncos bus accident. So many lives cut down in their prime. They had so much to live for and so much to give, not just to their loved ones, but to all of us. I feel deeply with all families who are suffering so much pain and so much sorrow because they have lost the most precious gift in there lives. My heart and thoughts are with them. Again, let's make this terrible tragedy a national Remembrance Day in their honour.
Why all the protesting the Canadian energy industry in general and pipelines in particular? Why is nobody chaining themselves to the wheels of a Boeing or Bombardier? A FedEx or Walmart truck? A taxi cab or Uber car? A working person's or hockey mom's minivan? Or the end of an untreated sewage discharge pipeline?
So, our esteemed council voted for another sub-committee for the Olympic bid. This committee will be made up of councillors and the mayor. All with the promise of being more transparent when it comes to the Olympic bid process. Well, except for the money. The money being spent apparently is a secret. What a total gong show. No wonder city hall is in such a mess. With the exception of maybe three councillors, it is run by a bunch of egotistical (people), that are only in it to pad their own pockets, and have their names associated to a money wasting legacy. Horrible, absolutely horrible.
Rather than heading towards peace, we are heading towards chaos. If we desire international peace, then it is required for all nations to deal with each other with justice. They should not cast eyes covetously upon the resources of other nations, or behave with actions that ignore fundamental human rights. Killing each other is never an ideal solution and can very potentially escalate the enmity between states and create further unrest.
