I think two items really came out of the discussions following the debates. Whatever happens I hope that the Conservative Party stays the pace and keeps Pierre Poilievre as the leader. He is young, an able debater and really controlled his tendency towards any personal commenting. I appreciate that and I can see that the future will come when he may well be the next Prime Minister. Be patient conservatives, Pierre did well I will say that. He has grown considerably through the years; he should not have let Justin Trudeau bait him because he did that constantly to get Pierre going. It kept him in power along with the NDP.
The second item I got to see Mark Carney under attack for his personal life and he held up well. A blind trust is a blind trust; yes if you are in the business you are going to know how your money will be handled but we are relying on honesty and given the days we live in the differences would be extremely small as he would not appoint anyone who did not think as he does to look after his money for his retirement! Let us be realistic and honest with ourselves in that regard. Mark Carney bringing up the security clearance was a good move - having been cleared in my past I fail to understand why Pierre didn't immediately do that to be honest. Perhaps over time he will explain himself in this regard. Security is important; if you can not fulfill that aspect of the job I think it takes away from our trust in you unfortunately. I will give Mark Carney the pass on the first instance that he ran into with a member of his caucus making an unacceptable statement - the conclusion was perfectly done and correctly made and quick enough but a pass he gets for that this time. He was quick to remove from any public contribution the staffers who planted the buttons - that was good to see.
But I am still undecided and will be I think until I make my walk up to the Advanced Poll and mark my ballot. It is unusual for me; I generally have my mind made up.
Back to work although I will just do it in bits as I will let my mind rest. I will go to Church at Loughborough very soon and I see my Church is also going to have an online service if it works out so I will attend that as well. Perhaps I can find a Holy Saturday service online tomorrow and then Easter Sunday at my Church online hopefully otherwise I am sure I will find another. I love Easter weekend; our Blessed Saviour rose from the dead and gave us a Church built on Him that has lasted for 2000 years and before it was the Celtic Church in England and before that God was loved and worshiped by my ancestors the Western Hunter Gatherers I am sure. My grandfather's words about his Anglican Church still ring in my ears. He could quote whole sections of the Bible when he wanted and the Prayer Book he knew so very well. Blessings to all my families in the present and the past as we move towards Easter Sunday and the Resurrection of our Lord.
Brain is working again. I finally realized I could put the information on the available Urn burial spots in the graves of our grandparents all down on paper for my sister in law and send it in the card I am walking up to get when I vote (I forgot when I bought the groceries yesterday). But the cards are better at the Drug Store. I had to print it because my printer is out of ink. I practically never print and must get ink for it one of these days. Turning 80 is interesting for sure. My mind is so intent on the books and my language learning that I do forget things.
