I do think it is sad to see the tremendous friendship that has been existing for over two hundred years between the United States and Canada weaken in any way. We, Canadians, do always have our American neighbours in our heart. That we are concentrating on making ourself tariff free and more diversified with our trade around the world does not lessen our love for the people of the United States. We are very busy getting the Arctic armed and ready for anything along with the rest of the Nordic countries and indeed NATO itself. Our military grows by leaps and bounds and the equipment is rolling in as our defence industries gear themselves up once again as I have been hoping and saying for over fourty years now in various ways with my blog being the best method yet for sure.
By 2030 we will be coming up closer to the 5% and it is not that long off these days. I can see us as high as 10% of our much larger GDP by the mid 2030s actually as we simply do not know what is out there beyond our horizons so must be ready for anything really. But our friendship has stood the test of time and many of us have dear cousins south of the border whom we love as family members.
It is sad to see ongoing wars in the world and really time to stop. I was happy to see NATO tell Russia that any nuclear attack on Ukraine will result in devastating consequences according to the Kyiv News. Europe is and will remain armed to the teeth as they continue to build up their abilities for protection of themselves against aggression as do we here in Canada.
Tribalism will destroy our world in the long run. One can not cling to a so-called genetic line because that is the beginning of the end of that genetic line. It must inter mingle with the other genetic lines of the world to survive disease free and in good health. God was wise when He created this world and all that is in it encouraging diversification amongst the many species in order to let Mother Nature flow in the best way possible. I always thought it was very interesting that my father since I was young used to say that tribalism is the greatest danger to our world. It causes war and does not win unless it is expanded by inter-breeding of all the descendants of this earth so that tribalism disappears although one would still like to see the variety of peoples that exist around the world and that can still happen. But that mixing of the genes brings out the best in Homo sapiens. I admit I am 100% English (England) way back into the 1400s when my Huguenot French and my Routledge Scot Highlanders entered into my lines. But I am Canadian and love being Canadian. I appreciate it more and more as I age. This is a huge wonderful country which the First Nations have kindly shared with us and we must always walk together the First Nations and Canadians - forward forever into the future. The Fathers of Confederation clearly saw that as the path they chose was always forward always sea to sea to sea and they worked hard spent hard earned money to make it happen along with the First Nations support with the treaties.
Still waiting to hear more about the Sovereign Trust Fund - I think it is a great idea.
