I think Canada is a forever country. The principles upon which this huge piece of land was combined into the Dominion of Canada now just called Canada were forged by the union between the First Nations and the Colonials with the treaties linking us to each other for ever. We were welcomed by the First Nations when we arrived. Some that arrived were destitute and forged a life on the lands which the First Nations willingly let us set up habitation. Others arrived with lots of money and put it into businesses that have made Canada strong but those who set up habitation created farms that fed everyone. When we needed to we came together First Nations, colonials and militias to defend these fledgling colonies but always the aim was to keep Canada strong and so the Dominion of Canada was created in 1867 and has grown vastly since then as the lands were acquired with their treaty rights. Individual land purchases so long as they obey the treaties belong to the owner and is theirs to pass on to their own or others or sell but can not be taken out of Canada. The lands belong to the First Nations and Canada is their protection in that regard.
Canada Strong is the aim of all this hard work we are doing in Canada as we make ourselves tariff proof, increase our military spending (finally), and create new industry including an energy profile all across Canada. Every province to benefit which is so fitting and so Canadian and one hopes that the friction by a few (it does seem odd that this is happening at this time when Canada most needs support internally to diversify our trade and increase our productivity) does not affect our ability to continue to increase our diversification of trade around the world and our development of new industries. Lots of good ideas coming out of all the provinces and they will all be supported.
Not much work done yesterday but will continue today to work away on those matches. Life can be very busy sometimes. Time to do the solitaire puzzles.
