Defining democracy in a country

 Is it democratic for one administrative unit (say a province) to declare that their democratic right is to break up a country by claiming a province an independent state when that province was not created by individuals but rather by the government of Canada. I listened to an individual in Alberta say that that was their right. Canada was created in 1867 by a people who  had the vision to see that spending a lot of money to build a railroad to bring British Columbia in with all the rest of the provinces directly and to buy Rupert's Land (with all of its goodness (both known and unknown) which lay between Manitoba and British Columbia (as well as all the rest of the tract which created much larger provinces in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec as well as the north of Canada) was a worthwhile venture for Canada. It was expensive and to Canada each administrative unit has a value both because it is part of Canada and because the founders saw a desirable future and we need to carry on creating that future rekindled by the Prime Minister and his party. If you do not like where you are living and the rules that go with that go somewhere else; I agree with the First Nations on this point plus the land predominantly is their land not ceded - where are their democratic rights to live in Canada? This is not individual First Nation groups in Alberta only; these treaties belong to all the First Nations who reside in Canada and it is their inherent right to live in Canada. Especially at Confederation and after the purchase of Rupert's Land this particular province did not exist but the riches and the benefit of that land belonged to Canada and still does (but we share it); we, Canada, purchased that land with the treaties that support the First Nations right to live in Canada and their ownership. That isn't democracy to call a referendum which that individual claimed. That is dictatorship of the minority within a country on a small scale where this province is 1/8th approximately of the population of Canada. It is quite different from the case of another province which has held referendums in the past but for them the reality to my mind is that the areas of that particular province that were Rupert's Land and now predominantly the areas where the First Nations live have already stated that in separation they want to be part of Nunavut so what would they gain in leaving I say to Quebec (they would lose ownership of a lot of electrical power for sure). The Seaway belongs to Canada we built it and the railway which runs through this section of the province that came into Confederation as a much smaller unit also belongs to Canada. 

It isn't democracy it is dictatorship by the few and very unfair to the fourty million Canadians who willingly give up their taxes to support those less fortunate them themselves. It is all about money in Alberta as always; some people can be very selfish. The Supreme Court was both correct and incorrect in saying that Canadians have to just accept that. Alberta is worth a lot of money and a loss to Canada would be large and I would expect Canada to be recompensed for that loss (it does make acceptance easier) and then of course you have to get the First Nations to agree as well to live in a new independent country.  That is reality; that is free enterprise if one wants to talk democracy. Billions of dollars were poured into Alberta to build the oil industry (money came from Canada too). I think referendums on one's position within a democratic country founded long ago should be illegal personally unless there was a prior state of being and that prior state is the First Nations of Canada so really it is their call in the case of Alberta and parts of Quebec (I do not know how the lands of Quebec along the St Lawrence were acquired or are they also unceded; that was during the time of the King of France giving land grants but are there treaties; no ideas on that). 

The nicest thing about a democracy like Canada is that you can leave and go elsewhere where you  might be better suited (no one insists that you stay). Where will your children go for jobs if there are not enough jobs in Alberta and Quebec for that matter since the PQ are threatening referendum again if they win the election in Quebec? Always better to think of the future than the amount of money in your pocket today. They say that some of these people in Alberta are ready to fight; armed and dangerous (doesn't sound very democratic or legal). Strange that in a country like Canada such people exist. Why are they here; who pays them to do this? One wonders about that (the same kind of people who came to Ottawa and occupied the Hill perhaps). I still agree with the application of the Emergencies Act - it got rid of them and they had no respect for law or the people in the area. 

It was noted yesterday that the more than 500,000 barrels of oil meant to go on the Bridger Pipeline signed the other day is purchased at a large discount. We need to get the oil to tidewater to sell it at a good price. The Minister is right about that. The MOU is working and a pipeline is in the much stronger realm now of probable rather than possible according to the government. I really tire of such greed; hands always out for money but when the money is in their hands in abundance do they share willingly - greed predominates with some people. Apparently 302,000 people are greedy according to the signature collectors (I hope they call everyone to ensure that the forms are all valid (I would be annoyed if someone filled in a form for me but I do not live there)). 

One wonders what happens when the oil runs out into the future and the land is all dried up and not fit to farm from forest fires (who will help you put those out) and you sell the rare earths that are there at a discount probably if you can afford to take them out of the ground; a company takes most of the profit. Who will argue for better wages against companies that are foreign. Good luck with that. Where will the money be eventually? Being part of a greater is always better even if I am a hermit.  Greed will destroy our world much faster than bombs. 

So just one match completed yesterday but the basement is clean. I did spend some time sorting the ancestry of this individual in the records since it is a very large match but totally unknown to me and yet I know the line they are probably coming down from. Interesting but that is the fun of DNA. 

Today cleaning the main floor and then tomorrow the top floor. Never a dull moment. 

Message on my phone telling me I was driving in a 30 mph zone going 45 mph - as usual ignorant people are on the internet just looking for money. Get a job; what a jerk. 

Why did I finally decide to vote Conservative last election

 Partly because I normally vote Conservative but on  my walk up to vote I contemplated it as I had still not made my decision. Experience played a great role in this decision but I finally opted to vote my normal tendency almost when I had reached the polling station. It was that close. I have no regrets on voting Conservative but I am pleased now to see a majority government in the Liberals with Prime Minister Carney at the lead. As I walked towards the school where I would vote I thought of all those students (several thousand I believe attend that High School) and the  need to reach out to them on the part of the government to look toward the trades - we need more skilled tradesmen/tradeswomen in our skill sets of Canada. There are not enough and the need is huge. In my mind I envisioned that the Conservative Party which is the party of small business generally would become active finally in encouraging young people to go into the trades. That has not happenned. We do not hear the Conservatives talking about anything but affordability - that is such a surface topic. It doesn't put food on the table, it doesn't get the youth employed and especially it does not solve the tariff problem. We need to diversify our industry at home and abroad and we need skilled workers in the trades. Affordability will become less of a problem when our youth is fully employed in good jobs. Look at the trades; really examine them as they are so much better than entry level jobs in business which are going to be taken over by AI anyway. Sitting at a desk for long hours in front of a computer and not generating anything useful except to business is a waste of our youth. They could be creating in the trades, building their own businesses and affordability is no longer an issue. Just giving money out doesn't solve it; we need to retrain our minds to see trades and professions as equal in Canada because they are. 

Being in opposition doesn't mean you have to be constantly opposing everything. This needs to be a unified government; we are in a crisis of development. The youth are there wanting to work and all the parties should appeal to the youth in their ridings to consider trades to consider the military that is where the money is. There are plenty of graduates from university - the market is glutted. I watched as one of the City Councillors set up a booth at the corner of a street to talk to people about City items last summer. What are we paying these members of parliament for if they are not out there visiting the local high schools/elementary schools and encouraging them to look at the trades; it is decision time and the youth need that sort of support. If speaking at schools is not your thing (and really why are you in politics if you do not speak to all the individuals who vote or will be shortly) than help to get trade fairs set up in these schools to expose them to the advantages of the trades same for the military. 

Question Period is a waste of time and CBC can run something on archaeological digs instead (as a tax payer I would prefer to have something interesting to sit and watch whilst I take my afternoon rest after eating). It would be less annoying. The questions being put forward right now by the Conservative Party leader are an insult to the intelligence of the Prime Minister and his Cabinet and to the members of his own party. Somebody needs to tell him; you have a position in the government where you could be appealing to the youth of this country who are unemployed and inspire them to think about going into the trades or going into the military or both - the military leads towards good jobs when they go back into the civilian work force. 

Why did I go to university and not go into the trades? Because I am not strong enough to do the work that was done by my father and brothers. I loved Science and spent my time at University studying that and I have used that background a great deal in my working life. Three of my four brothers went into the trades and worked with my father and they had a good life. But lots of women are strong enough to do the trades; they should think about it if the opportunity points that way for them. 

One of my pet peeves at the moment is the not in power party waiting on the sidelines for by-elections to defeat the government they are hoping (the NDP is busy rebuilding and I may have a change in views with regard to them; time will tell but I can not imagine myself voting for them unless it was Wab Kinew running some day in the future for Prime Minister). What a waste of money an election would be. Lets get this show on the road; diversify our trade and get our youth employed.  

I meant at the beginning to talk about the Sermon at Church yesterday. Our future Bishop in this Diocese was speaking and I found the sermon to be most interesting. Mentioning one of the past Pope's as a lead reference probably didn't hurt either as I do find the writings especially of the modern Popes to be very meaningful. Thank you to her for such an interesting discussion. 

Mostly I did not accomplish any work yesterday other than the washing of clothes which I tend to do on Sunday as the machine really does it all and I just have a lovely walk whilst it is running. Then I dry it on racks (the dryer works very well actually but I have never really used it a great deal through my entire life as I like all that moisture going into the air of the house).  When I went back to work I paid my two daughters to do the cleaning and the washing of clothes. It worked very well although my husband said an eight year old can not wash clothes. But she did an expert job although he took his shirts to the cleaners. I said we have to have some accommodations with my going back to work. I am not a martyr and refuse to become one. The house was always clean although I helped on Saturday but the bulk of it was done by my daughters. They also prepared meals for the evening as I was the last one home. My husband enjoyed that lovely time with his girls making dinner. When my husband decided to retire he said you should retire too but I said I want to put more years into my pension and so I worked another three years. I knew he found it lonely but our youngest was still in High School and he soon became involved with items she was doing plus the bunny (Peter the Rabbit) had always annoyed him but they became fast friends which was nice as the girls loved that bunny. He also got involved with a number of projects that interested him which he probably wouldn't have done if I had stayed home as it just wasn't my thing. At the time he retired it was the moment when my 3rd cousin George DeKay dragged me into genealogy as he needed a Pincombe Profile for the book he was editing (eventually it was taken over by someone else but he continued to deal with the individuals writing profiles). 

Traveling down memory lane is always somewhat interesting and this is cleaning day and it is the basement. I will soon get the Robot doing its task. The first robot in our house thus far.  

Tea finished. Time to do the solitaire puzzles. 

 

Interesting article

 "The Vikings colonized Greenland for over 400 years, but their disappearance from the island is still a riddle" by Quinn Mercer (online). Why not assimilation into the Inuit peoples who had arrived in Greenland before the Vikings appeared to disappear? I do wonder about that. The survivors probably carry the DNA evidence if it interests them. Like the 3% Denisovan that we carry (some of my six siblings as not all of them have been tested for that) but our mt DNA signature is in the Blood of the Isles Database so probably there for thousands of years. Interesting really what DNA has brought to our knowledge bank. We also carry, my siblings and I, on average 2% Neanderthal so we are 95% Homo sapiens. I believe the Denisovan came down from our ancient mitochondrial mother but I can only trace back from my grandmother (Ellen Rosina Buller born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England in 1886) to her mother Ellen Taylor born in Birmingham in 1859 (my grandmother always said that her mother died when she was 37 years of age; it was something that shocked her even as a person in her 60s and 70s that her mother died so young (my grandmother was eleven years of age and had to stay home from then on to look after her younger siblings (four of them) although three were in school). Her father had been reasonably educated so he did teach her at night as he had promised she said. But he worked hard at two jobs and he too succumbed by the time she was fourteen years of age. He had been a medic in the First Boer War (injured and sent home to Birmingham in 1881). He recovered although always walked with a limp and went to work, married and had a family of seven children. However I digress from my maternal line. The mother of Ellen Taylor was likely (and DNA is starting to show this may well be correct) the daughter of Ellen (Roberts) Taylor born  1841 in Birmingham and she had married Thomas Taylor very young (just sixteen years of age and they had seven children). Ellen (my great grandmother) appears to have had an illegitimate child in 1879 which my grandmother discovered when her youngest sibling was sent to live with her half-sister in London, Ontario. I have a match with a descendant of this half-sister which is large enough at 18 cM to catch my interest when we share a great grandmother of mine and we have written back and forth. We would be at least half 2nd cousins 2x removed as she is much younger than I am and has several more generations from Ellen Taylor. The average shared by this relationship is 48 cM according to Blain Bettinger (Ancestry uses TIMBER to extract common lengths of DNA) and this match is in Ancestry and she is still thinking about moving her results into another database. But at that level I think that perhaps we are just half second cousins 2xr (we will not share mtDNA because she descends from a son of Ellen Taylor's eldest daughter). My great grandfather was cared for in the Workhouse at Aston because the hospital was there and living at this workhouse was Ellen Taylor and her illegitimate daughter (at least it appears to be by the information). I wondered if Ellen had been a nurse as her skill with caring for the two infant boys who later succumbed to the sooty Birmingham air was noted by my grandmother whom she taught to  help her take care of the infants. Also Ellen Taylor lived just a couple of blocks away from Edwin Denner Buller (my great grandfather) when they were children which was also very very interesting. They likely married sometime in 1885 (marriage not located but there were interesting stories of runaway marriages and what not; my great grandfather was apparently disowned for marrying a woman with an illegitimate child) as the names on the registrations of their children were Edwin Buller and/or Ellen Buller. But I continue back in time as the mother of Ellen Roberts (married to Thomas Taylor) appears to be Ellen Lawley who was born in Wellington, Shropshire, England in 1819 and married to Thomas Roberts. Joseph Lawley was the father of Ellen Lawley. There was family lore that this line had come from Ireland to Birmingham (and there was other family lore which I have disproved, incredible tales). Amazingly we have close matches in mtDNA with some of the individuals who went with the Rev William Martin from Antrim, Northern Ireland to the Royal Colony of Carolina in 1772. Individuals that match are able to trace back their ancestry to Planters sent from Scotland to Northern Ireland by Cromwell in the 1640s. There are also mt DNA matches with people who came directly to England from Argyllshire/Ayrshire in the early 1800s. The location on the Blood of the Isles DNA database for my markers is Argyllshire/Ayrshire. So very interesting and amazing really what you can learn from testing your mtDNA. I highly recommend it although not everyone is going to obtain such interesting results. As I checked on matches (I manage the H11 project at FT DNA) to me through the years (and we are over 500 now although that is roughly only about 10% of the total database for H11 at FT DNA) I discovered matches in the Scandinavian Peninsula suggesting a possible migration route for my particular mutations coming out of the Ukraina Ice Refuge during the last Great Ice Age and there are others in Poland and Germany but no perfect matches in southern England (on the Blood of the Isles Database) which I found to be intriguing. Having a Western Hunter Gatherer in the British Isles from my paternal line and this rather fascinating mtDNA on the maternal line has made my research extremely interesting. I did correspond with a DNA scientist in South Ossetia about fifteen years ago and I see new research is emerging (and I did have some matches on her database) that these mutations were located in this area although out of the Ukraina Ice Refuge likely but the timing of H11 as a mutation from H has changed from 48,000 years ago to the time of the last Great Ice Age meaning that the H11 emerged at the Ukraina Ice Refuge likely and primarily moved west into Europe and north into the Scandinavian Penninsula and then further west into Scotland perhaps and in Europe itself into Poland, Germany, England. So quite fascinating. 

Sunday and another beautiful day in God's world. I will go to Church a little later online. God waits and He listens for we Homo sapiens to do the right thing to do what He commanded - Love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and love our neighbour as ourself. Peace could come to our world if greed and envy and hate disappeared. 

I noted the comment that the so-called separatists in Alberta could well wreck the chances for a pipeline to the west coast just because they create instability. What a shame for Alberta as the MOU was a good idea and already has paid off with the Bridger Pipeline (part of the Keystone XL project already built in Canada to the American border) being approved by the President (more than five hundred thousand  barrels of oil going south every day and there will be money for Alberta but also for Canada - that is who we are (most of us that is); that was also the idea of the Founders in purchasing Rupert's Land). The separatist greed will go down in history mostly as a one liner. They want all the money from the resources which Canada bought with the purchase of Rupert's Land. We, Canada, created Alberta and Saskatchewan as administration units and expanded Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec. The land belongs to Canada along with the treaty rights which were included in the purchase. Individual purchases of land are of course theirs technically as part of an administration unit namely provinces and territories (with the treaty rights keeping it in Canada) but if anything ever happens to your line disappearing not donating it to something everything reverts to the government (you can not take it with you). We thank the First Nations for their care of this land through the ages and their right to be in Canada for ever no matter where they live in Canada.  Canada takes care of all of Canada (remember the Great Depression). I happen to agree that ten years of fake greening of Canada (we do not see much in the way of results) was a waste we are better off to take advantage of what we have so that we can afford gradually and into the future to have a green Canada (and we should keep trying to do what we can do). Eventually oil will no longer be at the top of the selling as burning fossil fuels is hard on the environment world wide. The fifty year plans of the First Nations are much better than these greedy plans by a few to try to destroy what The Founders created. 

Tea drank and solitaire puzzles next (already 51 units of cardio from my first hour of calisthenics when I get up).  I have moments when I first awake when I push away the idea of one hour of exercise but thinking of the alternative I begin day after day with my slow moves to get myself stretched out and moving. So worthwhile but as always one should check with a doctor before you take up any big changes in your exercise routines especially when you are over 70. I will also run thirty minutes before lunch and after Church and then later in the day either yoga or weight lifting. 

 

   

 

Shopping Day and some research

 Yesterday was a shopping day and four bags of groceries for $103 which was not too bad as it included my chicken purchase which is every three weeks. But yes I agree groceries are more expensive than a year ago. This week I also changed back to summer tires and had to replace all the brakes so $2600 plus for that. My car sits too much in the garage all winter and it is hard on the brakes. It  is running like a new car now although I did not particularly notice anything but then I am only driving it a couple of blocks to the grocery store and back always mid morning when there is pretty much no one about and the store uncluttered. When I have to go out twice in one week like that though I think about my one room idea and just not have to do all these things but I am very lucky to be in the state I am in although would have preferred to be doing all of this with my husband still alive that is for sure. But he was ill for a long time really and  now  he is at peace with God I am sure. He would have been so sad about the world as it is today especially as he wanted to travel a whole lot more in Europe but just because he found war to be very sad. He used to say to me why does God let war happen? But I said that humankind was making its own way through life I felt since the Second World War. I think that was Armageddon but we survived, all of us, by our ingenuity and so we continue but we need to follow God's commandments - love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and love our neighbour as ourself. When we do that we will have peace. During the sad days of COVID my husband did find peace and contentment as his life slowly ebbed away. The saddest moment in my children's life (and mine with Edward) was that last night together all of us as we had been for so many years as he slipped away gone to us physically but forever with us in our minds and hearts. He was smiling at his daughters as they fussed over him taking care of him that last day. A sad but also a good memory that he loved them so much. I can remember as he held each one of them as an infant in the hospital and at home so tenderly so calmly and so happily. Fatherhood suited him. Although he could be impatient with them they knew it and got out of his way quickly!

Finished off the FT DNA matches and started entering them into my various databases including the newest one which is for phasing the great grandparents (not true phasing but rather dividing up that portion that belonged to the grandparent pair into their parents (a never ending task really). I have recorded relatives in common, matches in common on a lot of them and will let AI use that information to help direct me towards the appropriate great grandparent when I get started doing that.  

It is Saturday and meant to be mostly cloudy here. I looked yesterday and thought I should clear away some of that dead foliage in the gardens. But I never got out the door to do that. It will need to be done as the plants are now coming out and it just neatens it up. In the woods it would just rot away and replenish the soil but it takes a while. I want to move one hosta but other than that we go with what's there although I might buy some bulbs in the fall and bury them deep!

Drinking my tea and solitaire puzzles are next (one of my luxury items as it is an American company that sells it although they do it from a Canadian address). In essence we liked CUSMA well enough but our need to be tariff proof for the future is our first concern and so we are diversifying our trade as rapidly as we are able. Like Mexico we saw ourselves as part of the North American market being an active contributor to the product lines of so many companies. That has changed as car companies retreat to the United States to avoid tariff  and the push to draw Canadian companies across the border. We are proceeding forward on many items that have sat waiting this last decade and most certainly the mine in Northern Ontario has been a desire for the First Nations to get it going for more than two decades. Time to move forward and get these new industries up and running and our youth employed. As it is always the case, the youth must follow the jobs that are available to them. No one can control the type of work that will be needed in any generation; we just have to put our backs into the work that needs doing and get it done. The trades have sat on this sideline which saddened me because I do know the value of the trades in our lives - everything we do that is related to our life needs the trades at many points in that need. As AI enters the workforce to do the mundane sitting at a desk type job this is the time to save the health of our youth and their brains for that matter doing the skilled work of a tradesmen. The tools are fantastic; the results stunningly beautiful. We are on our way. 

I liked Conrad Black's post for sure and do tend to agree with a lot of what he says; the road will be difficult but like him I believe in Canada and that the power of success is ours. We are running but we just have to double the pace and get it done. There is a lot of work ahead. The advantage of going into the military in one's youth is the discipline that is acquired and no longer obtainable in our schooling system. I will always remember those long straight lines going into my elementary school as a child in the morning, recess, lunch and recess once again. We lined up straight and quietly with our principal front and center always. He was an ex-British office and a brilliant organizer. That was the rule and we knew how to follow it. Five years/ten years in the military and you come out with a trade/skill and ready to go but we need to get going I agree with Conrad Black and the task is not easy.   We must do it for the future and take our place once again as we were back at the end of the Second World War; secondary to no one.  

 

Conversation on Ancestry messages

 I have been having a conversation on Ancestry re the spelling of a surname. The spelling of the husband of Elizabeth Ann Pincombe (my great maternal grandfather's younger sister) was Ormond in the records that I located and this individual is disagreeing with me. That is fine but according to English law your name is however you spell it and particularly in Upper Canada at this time English law prevailed. But certainly in this time frame that would have been considered correct. She had noted that in my published tree I had both Orman and Ormond. But Orman is in my Knight family which is my father's grandmother Maria Jane Knight and down the line from Elizabeth Knight and Samuel Ballam (married 1 Sep 1834 at Turnworth, Dorset) one of their descendants married an Orman. The argument put forward was that the surname for Ormond should be Orman. Interesting and I will save it because I will eventually be publishing Elizabeth and her descendants likely down to the late 1800s in my Pincombe book. I follow Canadian tradition and keep the 100 year rule for release of information (it is also perhaps a bit of laziness). So I have replied once again and wished her Good luck with her research and I feel I have sort of terminated that discussion as I am not at a point where I will work on this Ormond family a bit. 

I am not overly fixated on the spelling of surnames as they did vary on occasion through the years. I just spell as it occurs on the records and that works for me.  

I am noting that I get fewer and fewer emails directed at me personally and I am finding that that is a good place for me to be. I always feel I should respond and do but it is good to no longer have as many to be honest. At 80 I am moving towards only doing my project; retaining my Guild membership, my membership with BIFHSGO (I am after all English but Canadian first for sure) and perhaps OGS if I can get them to change me to the email I prefer. We will see. It might just be easier to make my donation to Canada Helps. My siblings other than my older sister and older brother did not generally email me very regularly. My older sister, sad to say, is in Long Term Care now and prayers as always that she is comfortable. Could I go and see her; I do not know. It is not an easy trip and about 1000 kilometres although by air one has to go to Halifax and then Charlottetown. So I think perhaps not although my thoughts and best wishes are with her at this time and always. Doug of course passed away in 2020 although I sense him close to me as I work away on his DNA for the projects he loved to hear about. I do message with my youngest brother on Messenger occasionally but he is busy raising his two grand daughters whilst his daughter and son in law both work. After years of work running his own business (I mentioned him as he had completed the trades of electrician, carpenter and plumber and used all of these skills in his business) he is enjoying spending time with his grand children. I occasionally hear from my younger sister as she has a huge family tree and occasionally we chat on the telephone although not for quite a while I am thinking. 

 I finally completed the Ancestry extraction project but it did take all day yesterday but some really good information so worthwhile. I collected up about five new known cousins and all had trees. Mind you I am not really using their trees as my cutoff for the book is likely going to be in the late 1800s. 

This is May Day. One of my father's favourite days as he would go to Upper Clatford and visit his cousins. As an only child that was a treat. Although he lived right next door to his Uncle John and he and his wife had two daughters just a little older but a picture of them as small children tells it all I think. Three small children together in life so coming to Canada at nine years of age and leaving all those cousins behind was painful although another of his uncles, Uncle Henry, was in Toronto and my grandfather (Samuel) was in London waiting for them with a house all set up (actually he met them at the boat when they arrived in Montreal). But May Day meant the Maypole and as a child he danced around the May Pole with his cousins in the village that his Blake family had lived in for a long time since Joseph Blake moved there from Andover (he remembered all of that history down to Thomas son of Joseph; then John son of Thomas and Edward son of John and his father son of Edward). 

Today another research day and it will be the extraction of the matches in FT DNA (7 matches). I should accomplish it quickly; all depends on what is there in terms of trees and what not and whom else they match.  

The pipeline already laid in Alberta ready to go right to the border and now the agreement has been signed by the President for the Bridger Pipeline. Another profitable venture in Alberta. This MOU signed between the Prime Minister and the Premier of Alberta has really set the course towards more pipelines but in the long run it will see us become more and more green in our energy as the phase of oil for energy winds down and green energy takes over the planet. The money from oil will save the planet. Now just the pipeline to tidewater on the Pacific Ocean and I so want the Eastern Pipeline to Port Churchill to sell oil in Europe and to Ontario to bring refining of our oil back to us and save the three times the price we sell it to the Americans to bring it back here and have that in our income as well here in Canada. We will be tariff proof before another decade passes.  All of this money coming into the coffers and the greedy separatists broke the law and published private material on line - how sad to have such greed in Canada. Canada is about sharing all across the country; greed really does need to become a sin of the past. It ruins so many lives. 

Oil will have so many profitable uses in the future that burning it up will become such a waste in our minds. It creates a very solid product of use in so many areas including medicine and many others. 

Probably back to the Latin wills today and finish off that Somerby fraud chapter. Drinking tea and soon solitaire puzzles.
