Time to Stop Neo-Nazism at Our Borders!

Step 1 – Sign the petition.

https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6679

It doesn’t matter where you sit on the political spectrum, it doesn’t matter if you believe in God, Gods, Goddesses, Satan or no religious affiliation at all.

Politicians must be held to the highest of standards. ALL politicians. Scheer made some inflammatory statements against a journalist which resulted in death threats. He knew, damn well, what the potential consequences would be and let’s just say, that he is so stupid as to not realize? Then he has no business representing Canadians. Poilievre’s wife shared that post. She too, has a responsibility as a public figure, married to a politician. Words matter and in this time of escalating political violence? Now, more than ever, politicians need to uphold the dignity of office and understand the protection of truth as one of their primary responsibilities.

Please sign the petition – help to ensure the dignity of political office; force these people to speak truth, not speculatory slander. Stop the American polarization based on lies, innuendo and hate, at the doors of our parliamentary buildings.

Andrew Scheer Needs To Crawl Back Under His Rock.

Baiting the morons – Andrew Scheer needs to shut up.

So Andy (@AndrewScheer) anything for views? Doesn’t matter that Rachel said, absolutely, nothing hateful. You, you pathetic failure, saw the Kirk name and hooked your dingy to it.

And she’s right; look at the right wingnut reaction to her. Those fragile little snowflake egos…jumped on their keyboards and started making death threats. Proud of yourself, you weasel?

And no, I’m not a Liberal, not an N.D.P’er, Green or Conservative. I vote for the party that has the strongest platform, I look at the members, I look at how the MPs serve my district and vote on that basis. It is because of this I will not vote Conservative. The party has too many G.O.P. mimics. The Conservative party fans the flames of division. Too much racist rhetoric, misogyny and just plain ignorance.

Rachel Gilmore has bigger balls than you can ever dream of having. She stands up and calls out anti-Canadian rhetoric, exposes the radical right wing racists, the neo-Nazis, the garbage dragging their knuckles on our streets. Do you? No. You hide until you think you have found an issue that appeals to the lowest of the Canadian voter base and run with it.

You need to be censured. You need to face consequences of your actions as an elected official. You are supposed to represent Canadians best interests. Aligning yourself with far right wing ideology is not in Canada’s best interest. We fought a war against fascism, or did you skip that particular class?

I Don’t Care About Him, I Care About You!

No, I don’t care what happened to him. He was an evil, despicable, hate-mongering, clout chasing douchebag. I don’t care about his wife either; she was complicit.

I do care about all those who are in opposition to his disgusting views, in opposition of the dictatorial, fear and war mongering current American dumpster fire of an administration.

Those are the people deserving of any of those thoughts and prayers sentiments. Be careful, the racists, the bigots, the misogynists have been given carte blanche. Watch your backs, your neighbourhoods, your neighbours. Lock down your social media.

Trump and his pseudo-nazis have declared war on political dissenters. His puppet masters have moved him to weaponize the judiciary, the National Guard, law enforcement, the armed forces are next, followed by a suppression of freedom of speech. Rather than come forward and calm the situation, the puppet masters have ignited a firestorm and there are too many right-wingnuts, out there, to enable the fire to be put out.

A Congressional Medal of Freedom??? For a misogynist, racist clout chaser. Ah America, you have sunk so far down the septic tank.

This is, without a doubt, the most dangerous time to be a political dissenter to a corrupt administration, it reminds me of current day Russia, where dissenters are murdered, disappeared or jailed.

No one, with any common sense, believe this to be a random act. He was expendable. He was prime martyr material for the corrupt right wing. The shot was professional. One shot, to the artery; only a professional could have made this and disappear without a trace. This gives them all the backing they need to declare war on the American people. Not a conspiracy theory, just common sense. It detracts from the exposure of rich pedophiles, it allows for a near martial law suppression of political opposition. It further detracts from the absolute failure of every government department under this woefully stupid marionette.

Please, please – be careful. I know this is, probably, an impossibility at this point. Know that the world is afraid for you, small comfort, I know. If you can? Get out. Leave them to their cesspit. If you can’t leave, lock down, protect yourself and your families. It is impossible to fight this kind of evil when the country’s administrative bodies are so rotten to the core.

Grief.

So strange how grief hits you.

Lost my sister-in-law last May. She was like a real sister – we laughed, we fought…OMG, did we fight! Both of us had strong personalities and are/were very stubborn.

We spent years, not talking, due to our fights but if she needed me? I would have ridden at dawn.

Today, I was just scrolling through TikTok – my usual political content when it hit me. I just teared up, I am missing her. Missing her so bad.

I am not a believer in the Fairy-Godfather. I don’t believe in heaven or hell but I do hope, she is with the folks who loved her.

Ruby Bridges and the History They Don’t Want You to Know.

Yesterday, Sept. 8th was Ruby Bridges birthday, she turned 71 years old.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Bridges

We knew about Ruby, in Canada; we watched the disgusting behaviour. The news clips stayed with me, my entire life. The courage of that little girl was an inspiration and proof that this kind of racism must be fought at every turn, in every venue, by all of us.

Trump is the Embodiment of Dead Zone’s Stinson.

Telling that so many people hope for the same ending; I am obviously not the only one to see the similarities.

The Dead Zone

Stephen King Names the One “Dangerous” Trump Scenario that Scares Him

Personally, I love quite a few of King’s books, not all, to be sure but most. One particular novel that stands out during the nightmare of Yam-Tit’s election to president of the U.S. would have to be The Dead Zone. Trump is Stinson or the other way around. A dangerously psychopathic madman with a conman/grifter background. Although unlike many psychopaths, both are stupid. Manipulative to be sure but stupid.

Ken Dryden; Goalie Legend Passes

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ken-dryden-tributes-canada-hockey-1.7627073

He was my husband’s hero. Hubby is a goalie and grew up watching this legend, in a city that is infamous for its love of hockey.

Mr. Dryden exemplified dignity, class and a love of the game.

The hockey world is paying tribute to this hero of the net.

Anecdote? There was an ongoing debate in our house (mainly because I love to poke the bear 😁); who was the better goalie, Patrick Roy or Ken Dryden. In all honesty, I was a Dryden fan but I was also a Roy fan. Hubby despises Patrick Roy…not entirely sure why but he does. The fun I would have debating this with him…OMG, it was and will probably remain, a huge source of amusement for me.

Thank you Mr. Dryden, for your love of the sport, teaching young men, like my husband, to play with honour and dignity.

Rest in peace, sir.

Christianity and Occultism/Paganism/Witchcraft

I mean, the meme above, is not false, kind of presumptive, definitely simplistic but not completely false.

Forcing religion is never the “right” thing to do. Okay, so the fam has been R.C/Baptist/Jewish/Muslim for generations. A lot of things went on for generations that required change and change came about, sometimes painfully. Religion, by and large, has not kept up.

People, with the exception of right wingnuts, are far more educated, able to form conclusions based on evidence. Society is far more based in logic than in fairy tales and fear mongering.

I get that parents and families have been victimized by terrors from the various pulpits etc. The visions of some sort of devil persona and everlasting punishment repeatedly beat into their psyches until it became their reality, regardless of proof. And no, the bible/Torah/Q’ran are not proof. They’re books, written centuries upon centuries ago. Gilgamesh is believed to have been composed in 2100 BCE. Doesn’t make it valid, just some great storytelling. Same goes for the holy trinity of books/scrolls. Great storytelling but not proof of validity.

So what is at the root of the turning away from the recognized religions of the world? Education. The search for meaning. The search for that elusive path to truth.

The various branches of Occultism, Paganism and Witchcraft seem to offer the freedom to search. For sure, there are branches just as restrictive as the Big 3 but by and large, Occultism and the offshoots flow with change.

Atheism/Agnosticism is also on the rise. You know what is not on the rise? Historical religions. Islam is still higher up on the acknowledged beliefs than Christianity or Judaism but that too, shall change. Absolute control over individuals can’t last, it isn’t who we are as a species.

If your system doesn’t allow questioning, doesn’t allow for freedom of thought, of movement; if your system encourages the subjugation of members? This new millennium is not going to be kind to you, and with good reason.

Gummies, CBD and Sleep

I get a lot of questions about my use of CBD to control the impact arthritis has on my sleep and daily life. So, I figured I’d just write about my PERSONAL experience and let folks make their own decisions.

Prior to using CBD, I had very little exposure to cannabis. I don’t smoke weed. So the edible idea made sense.

I did my time with Tramadol, Supeudol (Oxycodone Hydrochloride) and the various corticosteroids (shots and oral meds). Did they work? Yes, they did but the side effects and long term impact were not acceptable to me.

Corticosteroids, I have immune system issues and taking that family of meds impacts my resistance to infections even more and just racks the heck out of your stomach. So, that’s not good, either.

Being a woman, in a particular stage in life? Sleep was not a friend. I slept, maybe 3 hours straight and would wake up, wander around, try to go back to bed but the sleep was no restful. I had thought that this was it, no more sleep for me.

I went to One Plant in Hawkesbury, Ontario; https://www.oneplant.ca/ They have many outlets. I prefer them due to the knowledge held by the staff, their courteousness, their friendliness.

Here are the details:

  • 2 Gummies – Twilight Tranquility – 20 mg CBD per gummy and .05 mg THC (There is a far wider choice, this is just the one I picked).
  • Took about 3 – 5 days to feel any difference, at all, with sleep and pain/stiffness from arthritis.
  • By 2 weeks, I was sleeping and I found the pain was, markedly, lessened.
  • The improvement is gradual, not immediate and this is, in no way, shape or form, a cure. The products simply improve my quality of life.
  • 2 months, I can do stairs – slowly but with a marked lessening of pain.
  • I can get down, on my knees, to vacuum under furniture but it is not pain-free but absolutely manageable.
  • I am sleeping, not 8 hours but when I do sleep, it is a very deep sleep. I am far more rested and have energy.

These products are not a cure, they are not a quick fix; there is no such thing with arthritis. I take 2 but someone else may need to cut it down or up the dosage. This takes time and may not work for everyone. It works for me, it allows me to enjoy my life, and I don’t worry about the potential of addiction to opioids or damage from the corticosteroids.
