I see on the news there is a speculative toss out of information from the meeting between President-Elect Trump and our Prime Minister Trudeau that Canada becoming the 51st state would be interesting as mentioned by President-Elect Trump. First and foremost the United States would be adding thirteen new states not 1 as each of the Provincial/Territorial mandates on education, health and a number of other items are quite sacrosanct and would not be acceded (much like American states). It would certainly have an impact on Congress bringing in so many new states! Myself, I find American elections to be exciting and have watched them since the 1950s every four years and lately every two years. Mind you I watch Canadian elections most avidly as well. However, I think the United States is better protected by us as an independent country. Plus we would miss our Governor General and our King. We always have your back though for sure. That was really apparent on the 11th of September 2001 as we landed thousands and thousands of Americans (indeed thousands of planes) on Canadian soil whose planes had crossed past the point of no return and kept them until they could return home a little later. In terms of accommodating our American cousins/friends on such short notice many many Canadians took passengers into their own homes to help them. At Gander, which is pretty much in the wilderness, the greatest effort was made to land these huge planes and provide the Americans with anything that they would need. It was no small feat on the part of the people of Newfoundland and indeed in all of the Maritimes as the hotels there are small and the ability to accommodate on short notice was amazing. Our shared border which is not armed and manned by the military, is a marvel and we hope to keep it that way but we will maintain top security to help our American neighbours to feel safe. Building a wall is an option that I leave to the Americans if that is something they feel they need but we must somehow protect the many many herds of wild animals that pass over our shared borders particularly during migrations. But we are tired of people freezing to death in the winter coming across from the United States or going the other way which we do try our utmost to prevent and will continue doing so increasing our surveillance especially during these times with so many Satanic peoples in the world (Iran, Russia, North Korea and those free-lancers that are sometimes the greatest danger). So a Canada strong and right beside you is a great addition to your protection dear Americans. Plus we work so very closely with your military and your policing agencies and when the power goes out down there our crews cross over and help to bring back the miracle of electricity to all as quickly as possible (and you do the same for us). Thank you for being our neighbours.
Cleaning accomplished yesterday I am happy to say but I will admit this 79 year old does find all that cleaning to be strenuous even if I am a exercise addict!
No work on the book but that is usual and today should see a return to the book. I try to keep my brain from wandering on to the Blake and Pincombe books but not always successfully but maybe that is a good transition. We will see.
Basement today and then complete for the week. Breakfast completed and latin is next on the schedule once I have washed the basement floor. I leave it then to dry for a couple of hours and then go back restore everything to its correct position and vacuum the remaining stuffed chair down there. My it is much easier to clean the basement for sure.
