Millionaires and billionaires … our modern day logic is to think and believe that someone who owns or has access to enormous sums of money automatically gives them the title of “genius”.

I suppose humanity has always been like that.

We called them Kings, Queens, Lords, Emperors in the past … we changed the titles but the blind praise is still the same.

So … what’s stopping them from just continuing to steal cars and just drive around without a license then?

If they can get away with stealing millions of dollars worth of cars … all they need is just a bit more effort and they can keep living a life of luxury by driving around without a license. If the police can’t do anything about car theft … it’s a joke to think they can check on a driver’s license. They’ll charge and arrest dozens of innocent victims with a minor license infraction before finding some car thief driving around without a license.

It’s great because we are definitely headed to a lawless state by being led by the party of law and order.

How about acknowledging the fact that in the US, the average police officer spend over three quarters of their time training to use a firearm.

It’s no different here in Canada. All they want is soldier, give them enough training so that they’ll blindly follow orders, get them to defend the wealthy and control the poor, keep workers subservient and protect property. Give them a gun and a license to kill and encourage a culture of beating people, using violence or shooting people first and then asking questions later.

There’s no mystery or revelation here. Everyone who has ever lived on the skids or has skin color other than white has always known this.

If the lake is drying up … the land is becoming bone dry and ready to burn in forest fires

None of this looking good

It’s May and northern Alberta and NWT is starting to burn … they are supposed to have a ton of spring run off to saturate the forest for a month or two and they had none of it.

Wait until June and July come around, we’re all going to be wearing post apocalyptic full facemasks with oxygen and buying bottles from the biggest corporations that we will have to pay to breathe enough air.

Broken teeth and infected gums: 46K claims filed so far with Canadian Dental Care Plan (www.cbc.ca)

Massive cavities, mouthfuls of broken teeth, bleeding gums and abscesses — they’re just some of the serious dental issues Dr. Melvin Lee has treated in less than two weeks of providing care under Canada’s new public dental insurance plan.

I really don’t understand why they went with a private insurance company to deliver this program … they really had to shoehorn a private company into a public service in order to make it happen. Cut out the private company and it would likely save more money in the long run … money that could be turned around to hire government staff and a new government department to run the program. Instead of having a private company partly work to deliver the program and partly work to try to turn a profit by degrading the service for their monetary benefit.

There will always be fat to the system no matter who delivers it … the difference is that if you allow private companies into these situations, they’ll do everything in their power to deride the new system and turn into something that will only benefit them.

Always amazes me how stories of murdered Indigenous women fall to page three or four in the news … increase the body count to 12 and everyone generally shrugs their collective shoulders.

If it had been reported that it was 12 Caucasian women … it would have made headline news and reported round the clock for a week.

I’m somewhat relieved that something is being done about this … as an Indigenous person, it feels sad that stories like this are not that terribly important to the rest of the Canada.

I’m up in northern Ontario near Sudbury … and I’ve been driving around Timmins and Cochrane for the past few weeks. The forests don’t have enough moisture … we didn’t get enough snow last year … even my friends and relatives up north on James Bay are reporting a lot less water than years before. No one noticed that none of the James Bay communities reported emergency evacuations for anticipated floods this past spring like they normally do. There was about half the amount of snow here than last year.

It all means that the spring run off was a lot less than in previous years … which means that our forests are already drying out and it isn’t even warm or hot yet. As soon as that heat arrives, our forests are going to turn into tinder fire starter. Normally, we should have so much spring run off from our annual supply of snow and ice that it would keep our forests saturated long enough for them survive the summer heat and make it less possible for forest fires. Without that snow, we’re doomed up here.

Take in a deep breath of fresh air everyone … I hate to say it but I’m really worried that the whole north - everything north of North Bay, Sudbury and Thunder Bay - is going to go up in flames this summer. It won’t be good for us in the north and it won’t spare the south either because it will send clouds of smoke over the entire province.

I wondered what this was about and read about John Brown and the slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry in 1859.

I had just watched a bit of history on this raid a few months ago on a Youtube Channel called ‘Canadiana’ … a group that offers historical features on Canadian history.

There was one survivor of this raid and he fled to Canada in southern Ontario where he lived and worked for most of his life.

It’s the subtle difference between a JUSTICE system and a LEGAL system.

One aims to maintain law and order in society in a fair and equal way regardless of one’s status or situation.

The other is a system gamed to benefit the richest and wealthiest individuals to get away with everything.

Same here and I felt the same way when I saw the story in the news.

I’d rather see tens of thousands of dollars spent on taking care of the medical needs of a human being than in paying tens of thousands of dollars on another bureaucrat or politician flying around the country attending conferences or expensive meetings.

We have more than enough money and resources to pay for the medical needs of everyone in the country regardless of their status or situation … it’s the creeping privatization of our medical system and institutions that makes it so unaffordable and needlessly complicated and difficult to maintain.

On a case by case basis for the moment

if the person needing help needs a non urgent medical care … then you can spend the time and energy defending the merits of legality and funding

if the person is losing, has lost their limbs for whatever reason and treatment will further affect their long term well being … then treat them due to compassion and don’t send them into a bureaucratic hell hole

Any time you read an article or headline that intentionally wants to incite either … FEAR, ANGER, HATE

It’s a sure sign it’s not good journalism or public information … it’s just plain old propaganda

That’s the funny part … of all the born and bred Canadians within Canada … how many have actually gone out to visit a National Park (either paid for or for free).

I was born and raised in northern Ontario, I’m Indigenous and I’ve been to lots of wilderness sites in the north on James Bay and Hudson Bay … but I’ve never been to a National Park that I know of.

Simple and to the point, everyone should know and follow this. One of the best pieces of advice from the Dalai Lama

“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”

It’s all based on geography.

If the school is located in a mineral rich area or underground oil field, then that wasn’t a school, it was a military base and those weren’t students they were terrorists.

If the school is located in aa area that lacks any natural wealth, then the robots have become autonomous and acted without control by anyone. It was an accident.

This is what I’m loving about DS9 … good people don’t always win, just like in real life. It’s the same logic from the famous Picard quote:

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.”

Watching the stories in DS9 unfold knowing that good things won’t always happen makes the whole series so grounded and relatable.

I’m on season three now and thoroughly enjoying it all.

God … she’s so good I felt like throwing my phone against the wall. Everyone should have a Kai Winn in their lives, to make you momentarily miserable and allow you to appreciate the rest of your life
