Just scroll through.....one observation is that for those unconcerned about politics...well, life will simply move along, not very enlightening, but I understand its simplicity.  I'm sixty-three and I see the world in 3 or more distinct ways.....1. hasn't changed a bit - I'm still good!   2. the changes are out there somewhere, be it Ottawa or downtown TO or Hamilton, I deal with it by listening to the news, and coming to terms with it on a personal basis!   3. the changes could be immense if our system is to survive and my voice is important and lends strength to positive change, just by being involved in some small way.

Last week I listed some titles of people I'm currently listening to. I try to discover alternatives to the normal status quo media, its difficult because in our capitalist system money talks and therefore eyeballs on the screen or hits matter. (Rogan and Ruppert, well they're 'shock' and I don't buy it, but there are fragments that are part of a common thread.....99%).....of course the recent Montreal news comes to mind....an interesting scenario and one that isn't as easy to reference as one might quickly think.

There are 3 sources that have my attention: a. Noam Chomsky b. TED. and c. Democracy Now.org    these are the best of the best! in other words I think they are the closest to the truths that you might find in the media.

I've compiled a list of other sources that might be of interest:

Michael Franti..............musician

Sir Ken Robinson.........TED talks....edu

Slovej Zizek........philosopher in the modern sense

Banksy.....street artist

Jeff Wall............photographer

Aung San Suu Kyi......Myanmar

Ron Paul...USA 

Norman Finkelstein.....Palestinian politics

That's it, just wanted to get this out there....todays society is fast becoming a whole new world, it already is.....if you're 50+....think how it has changed since you were 30+.....we ain't goin' back.....and to end...a quote from Michael Franti.....'the more I see the less I know'.............peace!

Keep squirrels out of your garden—really works:

• Sprinkle used cat litter around the base of your plants and bulbs and around the perimeter of you garden.  You can sprinkle used cat litter throughout your entire yard to keep the squirrels away.  Squirrels will smell the scent of the cat and stay away because they are afraid of cats. If you don’t have a cat, ask a neighbor or friends for some used cat litter.
• Spray a hot pepper spray around your plants and flower bulbs. Place about ½ of a gallon of water in a pot on the stove; add ¼ of a cup of cayenne pepper and 1 tablespoon of Tabasco sauce. Bring to a boil for about 5 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool completely. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray any area you want to keep squirrels out of.
• Buy blood meal which is available at garden centers and sprinkle it around the perimeter of your garden and throughout your yard. Squirrels are naturally repelled by the scent of blood meal.

 Good morning Tim and all,  I was born Canadian more ways than one, from the age of 3 I  spoke with Canadian accent, and word terms, it takes  about 20 seconds talking with me to pick up the accents and terms. My parents were Canadian but many never knew. MY parents and the school sent me to speech classes for 8 yrs lose my Canadian accident it refuse to go away ahahha By the time I was 10,I was aware of the difference between the two counties. The only communication I had was few letters a year from cousines. Their was no other publication or communication no visits (past the age of 3ys, until I was 22 yrs) . But I reseached and went beyond compared and questioned Those question and comparing  would created problems in school, I was told not to question or comparing, sad and scary to be "suppose " to be in the land of the free to be told to "not" compare, question or reseach to ask why" But as American isn't that my right "freedom of speach" 

But think about it, in your life Tim, how offern could you "freely" speak on subjects that was opposite from the norm flow of.

 

 Soon I realized what I was born with was a gift of open mind, a mind that questions, research and  a gift to be Canadian from my soul to my accident. To be a Canadian is a blessing.

Yvonne, That's what my wife's cousin said.The funniest thing is, I have always said "eh" at the end of my sentences! I live real close to Canada so maybe it sort of bled over the border to me, lol. I am 61 years old and I know I have said it since high school. Pretty funny, eh? :-)

Tim … just learn to say “eh” at the end of your sentences and you are one of us. LOL
