I have watched my own country grow from 20 million to 41 million now on a huge land mass with two names Canada on the one hand most frequently used but to our First Nations Turtle Island. I do find that to be a fascinating name especially now that I have time to think about it. The choice of Canada as a name was basically a mistake on the part of Jacques Cartier (he asked the name of this land with a wave of the hand apparently and the First Na tions guide told him a word he took to be Canada but which was actually Kanata which meant village and interpreting the hand wave as a directional prompt which brought into view a local village). Life can be remarkably simple on occasion and so Canada was born out of a conversation between an individual who had lived on the land for thousands of years and a newcomer on a journey of exploration. That truly has always fascinated me how something comes to be.
Busy day yesterday and today is another busy one so not a lot of my personal projects will be accomplished but a lot of other good items accomplished. Which brings me to the travels of our Prime Minister and the deals in the making. It is for sure music to my ears as we work at the main task of growing Canada and making us tariff proof in as much as we are able. The signposts are in place now we just have to fill in the details and make it all work.
But definitely something has to be done about the widening of the Trans Canada Highway in Ontario. I do hope not to see anymore money spent by the Ontario government unless it is on the widening of this road to four lanes. The traffic is enormous on this road night and day. Toronto doesnˋt need an expensive underpass; put the money where it is needed to help Ontario and Canada grow. Toronto does not need to grow. It is large enough already.
Another exciting day in Canada land and I shall grab hold of it and enjoy it. I hope everyone else will do the same as it is Saturday and a beautiful day promised.
