IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES LET'S BE KIND TO ALL OUR FELLOW CANADIANS

 Like many Canadians I am very angry at all the foolishness coming from America.

The hurt to our workers, families and communities.

For what. Tell me. There is no reason really. 

So America wants to be a fascist state now. Not a democracy.

But to try to bring Canada down. Bring Mexico down. Both nations are stronger than that.

Leave Greenland and Panama alone. They are strong as well.

Ukraine is showing the world the way. We must support them as much as we can.

So with anger comes my need to remember to be kinder. To be kind to everyone I encounter.

Kindness is not weakness. It just brings hope. It brings communities together.

We must carry on. We are strong and free. It may hurt a lot. For four years, maybe. Hopefully not.

We do live in hope that Americans will wake up to the tyranny in their land. And Russia as their ally now.

Kindness to my family. My community. My country.

And to do whatever I can in my corner of the world.

Sending love to everyone.

MARCH AND ALL THAT IT WILL BRING-CAME IN LIKE A LION, WILL IT GO OUT AS A LAMB

 I think Zelensky is one of the bravest men we will ever know. He stood up to the tyranny in America by confronting the fat guy in the White House.

Canada loves him and want Ukraine to have a fair end to their war.

So with the trade tariffs starting last night at midnight Canada has tighten our seatbelt and we are ready for the rough ride.

March came in like a lion but we are hopeful it will go out like a lamb.

We will be the true north strong and free.

I hope my fellow Canadians and allies around the world, be very strong about the new order that has happened in the world.

America deserting Ukraine and just wanting their minerals is despicable.

I stand for Canada. I stand for Ukraine. I stand for love and freedom.

But if I must fight I will.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. So we are going to make it through all of this hard times.

How about you? How are you feeling about the world and all its calamities right now? If worried be with a loved one?

GASLIGHTING ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE-IMAGINE ACCUSING THE INVADED COUNTRY OF STARTING A WAR

Gas lighting  was seen front and center last Friday in Washington.

Well guys. The world was watching and has called you out.

To gaslight a President for working so hard to protect his country and people.

Wear a suit. You are on a propaganda tour. You didn't say thank you to America.

Well we all saw it and I know I felt so disgusted with the interaction.

Of course the minions in the government thought their guy was great and the one- Velensky was the bad guy.

Disgusting and embarrassing for all that saw it.

Ukraine must be supported at all costs. They are the gateway to Europe.

So call gas lighting out wherever it occurs.

FEBRUARY 2025 IS A GAME CHANGER FOR THE WORLD

 There is so much uncertainty in the world right now.

Trying to monitor how much social media I watch. It can be so depressing.

Tariffs coming.

Buy Canadian.

What can I do for my grandchildren to help keep the world a safe place for everyone?

Politics has taken over the world. Maybe it always did.

Pray for peace. Love, Compassion. We need all the positive vibes right now.

THREATS MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY-INTERNATIONAL LAW PREVAILS-UNITED NATIONS CHART

 All the talk about Canada's sovereignty has become more than a joke.

So are threats a breech of law.

If I were to threaten someone I could be charged under our laws. 

So a leader threatening another country needs to be charged as well.

I looked up International Law.

"Annexing another country's land without its permission is a violation of the the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the primary source documents of modern International Law."

To stop reacting emotionally, research and learn the laws, the facts. Speak and address issues with intelligence. 

Pick one issue to advocate.

Canada strong and free.

WITH THE SHOCK AND AWE APPROACH-DIVIDE AND CONQUER PICKING AN ISSUE TO ATTACK WILL DEFEAT THAT APPROACH

 With all the current presidential orders and chaos management, it might keep some people looking in every directions.

America has made us aware we are no longer your friend.

There are more of us than them.

So pick an issue. Attack that issue.

For example, the unions can go after the issues in the Auto sector.

Canadians can refuse to buy American but buy from our friendly trading partners like Mexico, Australia, many European countries, South America, well you get the picture. I like some South African wines so Africa is good too.

Go after the laws. Like International Law that says a country can not annex another country. As a member of NATO, United Nations and other alliances, Canada can advocate for its own security and safety.

By the larger community picking off one issue at a time by that group has more power than just sitting and fretting.

Our Canadian leaders are using diplomacy. But we can be bad asses too. So if it tough approaches that are needed than bring them on.

As a Canadian widow, mother, Nana- I have my family to protect. If I protect my family then I am protecting everyone else as well.

We are a polite people. Sorry but we warned you.
