Conclusion - 'The Future - Peace Pays - an essay about Canada

The Future: Peace Pays - Exploring The Canadian Identity


Canada is a nation coming of age in an historic Moment when we can make a significant difference in determining The Future of the world and our existent civilization.  
 
By deciding to pursue peaceful means and methods and goals we can influence the entire world and help shape The Future into The Canadian Dream of World Peace, prosperity, security and tolerance.  We do it all here on a daily basis and have proven that it’s possible for people of all kinds, types and backgrounds to live together in cooperation and peace.  And Peace enables discussion, problem solving, solutions and discoveries.

It begins by Canadians understanding who and what they are in and of themselves, and who we are in the broader scope of The Global Village and History.  We are unlike any people who have ever lived anywhere at any time.  This places a responsibility upon us to act in our collective best interests, which are the interests of all people and nations everywhere.  

This is a Moment of Opportunity that could easily dissolve into the mists of history.  We must grasp this historic opportunity and act, or lose the slender hope we embody while the world languishes in a fog of violence and destruction.

Canada is a Nation with great potential and great opportunity.  We can embrace this opportunity and share our riches with the world or we can perish with our brothers and sisters everywhere.  Stepping forward as a leader among nations and guiding the world towards peace and stability in a peace-based economic climate will instill a much-needed sense of hope for people everywhere.  

Let's turn our national character into national policy and reach out to a hurting world with the same Compassion we have extended to our fellow Canadians, who are of every Race, Nation, Language and Belief.  Together we are one Big Beautiful Red Machine, under the emblem of The Red Maple Leaf.

The World is in crisis and headed for disaster.  Canada can help through self-awareness and conscientious decision-making formulated into an “appropriate and compelling Vision” for Canada and for the world.  Welcome to the Golden Age of Canadian Culture.

Peace.

'Justice with Compassion'

'Peace Pays more and better than war.'

'Sustainability in ALL things'
 
Plenty of food for Canadian thought  @  Plan of Hope.


“Don’t keep the peace…pass it on.”

Who is Really Stopping Whom from Doing What?

Stephen Harper has been making belligerent, violent, threatening sounds and moves towards many of our democratic institutions, values, processes and personalities. His targets include: a Cabinet of Ministers who discuss and govern as a team, The Supreme Court of Canada, The House of Commons, Commons Committees, Senate Committees, The Canadian Wheat Board, Atomic Energy Commission of Canada, Auditor General, Governor General, Constitution, Charter of Rights and Freedoms, et cetera.

One of his favourite targets is and has been The Canadian Senate. He claims they are preventing the work of government and society from being done in Parliament. He says they are a danger to Canadian democracy. In fact EXACTLY the opposite is true.

******************

The Senate is the ONLY part of government that HAS been working


The Senate is the only part of our government that HAS been working, and working hard in spite of inflammatory dishonest rhetoric from the Prime Minister's Office and constant contempt from the Prime Minister and his puppet Ministers. Stephen Harper seeks to misrepresent and malign a dignified and diligent body of loyal Canadians

The Senate is doing the work and Mr. Harper is trying to prevent them from doing so. This is an amusing and disturbing phenomenon that is persistently a trait of our Prime Minister. He seems to have a personality disorder of some sort. He attacks those he claims to love and gives everything to those who want to hurt us. That's the thinking and behavior of a disturbed mind.

Anyone who watches CPAC [Cable Public Affairs Channel ] knows that the Senate is serving Canada and Canadians with due diligence and passion in many areas of government and society. While Harper has harped, The Senate has worked feverishly to help us. There were over one hundred Senate bills derailed by the prorogation of Parliament this time.

****************

What exactly is "a harper"?

A "harper" is one who "complains endlessly about everything and nothing; someone who is never satisfied and always disgruntled. A destructive personality. A constant source of groundless malicious accusations. The kind of person who always criticizes those around him/her with the goal of humiliating and dominating them. A bully!"

Apparently our Prime Minister is well-named! I believe that this name is derived from the deceptive Harpies in the Greek myth who killed sailors with sweet salutations. The Fit is perfect.

******************

Reckless Destruction disguised as Leadership


Mr. Harper derailed over four hundred bills in all, including House of Commons or Government bills [his OWN], Private Members bills and Senate bills. And he claims that the Senate is a waste and disloyal to our democratic system and nation.

In fact exactly the opposite is true and like any disturbed malefactor Stephen Harper is blaming the innocent and often the victims. He blames all Canadians for the trouble his government has visited upon us. In the process he wants us to see him as our economic savior during the recent global financial collapse.

The truth is that credit for our economic and financial stability really belongs to former Liberal Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Jean Chretien and his then Minister of Finance , the Right Honourable Paul Martin.

These two men and their staff paid down our national debt by hundreds of billions and reduced our interest payments by more than half. They did this over a ten year period, and they regulated our banks, real estate market, and stock market system. Thereby they saved our nation from the deep suffering experienced elsewhere.

****************

The Cover Up


Stephen Harper is neither loyal nor honest. He is not a patriot and his economics thinking does not include Canada and Canadian methods. He serves foreign powers and masters.

The truth is that our Senate has been made a part of our Constitution and democratic process exactly because there are always people like Stephen Harper who want to 'rule' rather than work democratically to govern.

The Senate is a stop gap or fire wall against tyranny. Stephen Harper is proving himself to be a tyrant and an enemy of Canada, Canadians and our children.

The other thing Stephen Harper does not seem to like is Justice. He would rather derail our entire democratic and societal apparatus than allow Canadians to see clearly what a rat he has been in representing us in the affairs of Afghanistan.

He lied about his crimes and like David the King of Israel in the Bible story, he now lies and murders to cover his crimes. I believe that it's time for Mr. Harper to retire from his present job and let a democratically minded Canadian begin the process that will heal the nation.

**********************

In a democracy "The People" are The Government and we can decide.

Canada is sliding further and further down and we are at risk of losing our sovereignty in many areas thanks to the irresponsible government administrative methods used by Mr. Harper.

We can turn it around and reach for our destiny in the pursuit of a Grand Undertaking. I hope you will join me in this adventure to help heal the world and the nations.

Stephen Harper wants to reshape Canada into his own image...a tyranny with no democratic options; a set of resources that that can be bought by the highest bidder. That would be a sad waste of some extraordinary resources that Stephen Harper clearly does not understand nor respect.

Harper 'seems' to support our Armed Forces. But then again if he loves them so much why is he arranging for the deaths of so many of them?

Who is really stopping whom from doing what?

What the Conservative Party of Canada REALLY thinks about First Nations people and land claims.

This article is critical for those who love this country...True North Strong and Free.

Here's an interesting article about Harper's brain trust. Number One is Tom Flanagan. It turns out that Harper's best friend and trusted political advisor and confidant is an enemy of First Nations People...and of Canadian artists and Canadian children and Canada! Hmm.

www.walrusmagazine.com/articles/the-man-behind-stephen-harper-tom-flanagan



Also the article points out these people in the Political Science Department of the University of Calgary have connections to the Pentagon and the US State Department, et cetera. Hmm. I met Tom Flanagan a week ago and that got me looking into his sense of purpose. Rude man. Rude rude man. The article says a lot about why...and how.

He's an American and a Republican. He's also what some Marxists would have called an historical revisionist, which he uses to attack Aboriginal land claims in behalf of the U.S. State Department as an "expert witness".

Perhaps that's where the Arts money will go that's being taken from artists. :) Get THIS! Flanagan received almost a million dollars from the Canada Council. lol And much more from the US State Department.

And they want to build more prisons in which they can put more children and citizens, which will require tax increases.

I hope others will help me and Stephane Dion defeat them. Liberals need your votes and Dion is a devoted Canadian. He fought for Canada's unity when others had bailed on the idea. He's kind, bright, HONEST, collegial, modest, and respectful. I can recommend him to all Canadians after much close scrutiny. We need him and he needs us right now. Please consider it.

Have Your Say – The Future of Canada

“Democracy is the idea that people have the Right and the ability to govern themselves.”


The vast majority of Canadians are kind, bright, literate, educated, thinking people with expertise in one or more areas. This is our national human resource. Our citizens operate at the highest levels of functionality in their various professions, occupations, activities and pursuits. The complexity of our society enables and requires us to be complex, informed and intelligent.

As we are aware, in many places in the world people cannot go to school, nor own a car and drive it. They have never flown or read a novel or watched diverse television programming. They do not enjoy the benefits of peace, good government, stable employment, wide open spaces and mass communications. In many places they don’t have an operational free press as we do, to guard our democracy along with the Rights and Freedoms we enjoy.

Our life is different in so many ways from that of all people (including queens, kings, or emperors) in every previous generation. These are the Canadian people. They’re of every national, cultural, linguistic and religious origin. They share a love of liberty with each other and with other citizens of the world.

These remarkable people should and must have a say in the evolution and operation of our democratic government – ‘self’ government. I have the proven ability and desire to enable your participation in the decision making that affects you, your family, and your future.

Support me and I will make sure that you have your say.

The Canadian Dream

Welcome to my blogspace.

I will be discussing the future of Canada in this space and I welcome feedback and input from other Canadians who are concerned about our country and the role we can play in transforming it into that place about which we have dreamed. Countless Canadians have told me about their shared collective dream which includes sustainable economic strength, social justice for all who live in Canada , and environmental responsibility.

I believe that the City of Guelph, Ontario can play an important role in transforming Canada into that dream and also in sharing the dream with people everywhere in the Global community. That is why I am seeking the nomination to replace our Liberal Member of Parliament Brenda Chamberlain who has announced her intention to retire from politics before the next Federal election. Our community has resources that can impact the world in many positive and lasting ways, and so does Canada. We merely need the right Plan based upon "an appropriate and compelling Vision."

Please read the essay set Building The Canadian Dream and help me to shape that dream into reality for us, our children and many generations to come. Life has taught me that this is a real possibility and that our beautiful dream of peace, economic strength, Justice with Compassion, and environmental solutions can be realized swiftly and effectively.

Peace.
