Yesterday night at around 10pm we had a hail storm of the likes I have never seen. There were some which were had posted a photo as it was the size of what up here we call a large coin. I thought that some of the windows might very well break but the storm passed through in a time of half an hour. (Jack is that you’re into to this well ok as there is some point of some write which you wish to make).
For the most part I love to focus on what is happening as well as what is new. But there are times in which there isn’t but that is new. I have understood that there are many things right now within the US government that are different to that of the Canadian Government. While a US campaign has been just getting started the government of Canada has been making alliances and new treaties with other nations. from looking at both sides of the fence even when people come up here and speak on radio they will say things that you have never heard. That one baffles me as isn’t United States founded on free speech? Maybe yes maybe no.
Regardless during the day I spoke with several people and the consistent thing which I found was that Canada has always been a silent but proud nation. That has no disassociation to United States. It’s just that several can see a blunder of things – and it’s very hard to keep up with hit all. As from afar it is allot to keep up with the hail was enough. As well, on a military side the Canadian Armed Forces have now returned and are declared the Royal Canadian Forces. It’s the original name which they had. As well there are some tributes which are shortly taking place which will include naming of a street. Canada is out of the Afghanistan situation and has declared where they will stand with all this situations of countries at war. There is something to be said for non political statements which do carry. I don’t know about you but I would much rather have a cohesive decisions than otherwise. Thank goodness Canada’s elections which only take six months at most. Mind you the weather never is within Canada’s favor. I always revert back to the ideologies which economics and politics differ. Folks we were not writing like this one year ago.
Are Canadians at large different to the average America? I think not I just see a nation that is confused as much as I am. One thing I wish to note is that according the stats Canada. As a nation it’s very hard to become a Canadian. Yet right now the amount of immigration is the highest level of security as ironically one cannot become nor have residency in Canada unless they go through a lengthy process.
My English may not be as well as that of many. It’s not because I am French. I was brought up American. Canada could very well increase in population within a means and ways which there is much more within the country. Canada has been a democratic country yet not in the mid set of some due to the New Democratic Party which for the most part was due to what was called the CCF – which at that time before World War 2 was the Canadian Commonwealth Corporation but those days are long gone by. In times as such most Europeans have always pondered on a silent nation, while a neighbour for the most part knows nothing in regard to the neighbor next door. Knock. My it does amaze me how these two governments know more on one side and less on another. Mind you I would surmise that over 50% of those which are America do know Canada and visa versa. Yet I could be wrong. Having travelled many lands but living within two the reality is America’s government. Recently in speaking to a valid economist as well as there after a politician friend of mine.
There reality of economics is within monies within a nation. Politics or those which are within political power are not always the ones which make economic decisions but look at any given area in this case countries. Input and output are the result of a good economy which renders the best within the “economic pie”. The economic pie is comprised of what we see as those which are not poor, nor are rich. In many cases it gives allowance for the two extremes to enable.
Comments accepted.....Cille, John, Doug, and those that understand this is not politics its' the real times which are happening.

My father was a mix of Irish, Black Dutch and French. His grandfather, who was named Clarke, was always told to have immigrated from France, but when I did an ancestry check, I discovered that his papers show him coming out of Canada. That left me with yet another puzzling fact. His surname, while believed to have been French, does not appear to be a French name. Likewise, his grandmother always told she was German, but refused to speak about family history. She said the past is best left in the past. I've determined that she was probably Roma - Black Dutch. This is all from looking at immigration records, and whatever information is available on the original surnames. People make their lives wherever they can most suitable do so, and they adopt what they must in the process . . . It is no shame to speak more than one language. That is a gift.
ReplyDeleteEconomically, the U.S. political leaders have become extremely corrupt. The fact that Canada has always been a strong and silent nation is to their credit. I do love my nation . . . But, I do not like where it is heading if we do not elect some competent leaders who have the best interest of the American people at heart. In fact, that problem is the reason this nation was founded, because those who came here were looking for a better life. It seems we have come full circle.
I always say this as I am not anti America....just got in and reading...and some of them came to Canada. It's so difficult to explain Canada. Yet those which live and inhabit it enjoy it for what Canada means. For myself I have never really known of a concise definition of what Canada meant. Which may be a good thing as it's the second larges land on this world with people from far and wide.
ReplyDeleteToday I met with several people one which was born here and has lived here in Canada and this province for all his life. Then another from another country. Now I reside in the prairie's where both my father - norwegian and mother hungarian and italian seemed to mix. Canada recently has had more immigration that it has ever seen. The diversity of shapes the soil mimics the USA to me. In a time where things were different they weren't based on how much to run for a politics.
ReplyDeleteThe CCF is so often where there is confusion amongst many. I speaking with a friend of mine there was the words of a humble nation. Here within Canada I wish that we would make some alterations as our President/Prime Minister said he shall - that of 2 x four years. Yet he has led up to the promises made from Afghanistan to that whole entire ensemble. The amount of immigration is higher than it's ever been. But in some manner and for some reason from one province to another - there is one word that I have hear which goes with all ironic as it may seem - it's PEACE. The leader of the country was busy the last week in making economic agreements.
Meanwhile right now America has been occupied with a campaign.
Canada is not that socialize/communist country that so many think. If there was one transition I would love to see that America adopt the electoral process of Canadas.
They do even a marine does everyone does make it work. When I go to get groceries it's very cultured yet for some reason Canada and the people immigrant or those which have been born here all integrate.
ReplyDeleteI dont wish to get into one being better but there is not much room for corruption to take place.
Names doesn't make sense to me. Whatever lineage we came from, and whatever social ladder we are in ... it's just the same. It is who we are deep inside and not whom we came from. The way we put words and the way we react and the way we treat every person it says a lot be it a woman or a man.
ReplyDeleteThere will be no corruption if it's not came from the very same us. In every streets, in every corner ... in every country.
I think many Americans are too insular in their attitudes to foreign ideas. The ignorance is sometimes distressing.
ReplyDeleteThe Canadians must know something about running a medical service that we can learn from down here, but at this juncture its all about profits.
And I'm not a royalist per se, but I like the idea of Canada adding "Royal" back to her Forces.
very true words--we all helped it become the way it is sad to say--
