DECEMBER 2024

DEC.29 Former ailing Potus Jimmy Carter, considered the best ex-President ever (Habitat for Humanity activity) passes away at age 100. RIP He may not have been the best POTUS, but he was a very human entity…. His wife pre-deceased him a number of months ago.

 

DEC.24 A Xmas Eve Story (down memory lane). I have already mentioned how my illegal senior teacher dismissal had a major positive result with my re-location to Ottawa in 1987 as Vancouver was (& still is) unaffordable for a family on a teacher’s salary. We had to borrow the money from relatives (which was later paid back with interest much to their surprise) to relocate. Now for the Xmas Eve story. Without money, we could not afford a Xmas tree which the boys (Grade 4 & 6) were used to having. So I waited until after the season to sell trees was over and took them to a lot asking the vendor to show us an inexpensive tree at the back of the lot. Granted the tree was ‘stunted’; but that did not matter to our family as we at least had a Xmas tree as per our tradition. P.S. The West Vancouver School Board never paid any compensation for my illegal dismissal and got away with it due to the cupidity of the SCofC. In January 2025, I am suing the SCofC for $20 million (includes Identity Theft) for misfeasance / malfeasance for the full cost of both actions due to their cupidity amid media silence . Hopefully POTUS Trump will be on board as Identity Theft comes under the Second Amendment (criminal code in Canada).

 

    

 

DEC. 22 A) Sign of the times: A Wizard of Id cartoon strip has the wizard & his wife standing in an empty mall at Xmas lamenting how ‘at home shopping’ has supplanted the ‘hustle & bustle’ of Xmas buying in person at the stores. Since the advent of COVID, malls have been emptying with no new ones being built in N. America. I purchase my books new at Indigo which, other than Xmas time-particularly with Children’s books- is empty most of the year. B) Trying to contact your MP as I was trying with David McGuinty  the new Public Safety Minister & my riding rep? Forget it… those contact ‘parl.info.’ attempts will come back to you ‘without delivery’. MP’s want your vote, and if possible, a donation, but are not available to speak to the individual voter. It’s why I ‘vote with my feet’ with more joining me in every election.

DEC. 19 A) I am not a politico, but one insider in the Liberal Party considered Freeland a weak Finance Minister. She certainly did not speak out on my Identity Theft problem.  B)In WAR, author Bob Woodward (known for his Nixon days exposure) details the heinous Oct. 7-2023 Hamas Attack – the worst terrorist attack against civilian jews in Israel since the Holocaust where a few hundred Jews were slaughtered ‘just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time’. Many sympathizers in N. America have demonstrated on behalf of Hamas due to the fact that a homeland for Palestine was the stated aim. I am with P.M. Trudeau in support of Israel on this one. These civilians were clearly not a military target. Now civilian Palestinians are suffering retribution in the possibility of all-out war in the Middle East. C) Trump would suggest that Cda. become an U.S. state. I think he would be disappointed militarily in that Cda. is one of the few countries which had its identity bestowed on it as opposed to fighting for it in 1867. For example, my Identity Theft which is a ‘ho-hum’ issue in Cda. might not so readily be dismissed in the U.S. where military values are more valued. In one film, a U.S. naval captain acted cowardly so to make the film acceptable to U.S. viewers, he was made a Canadian. Neither countries have experienced modern wars on their territories (Pearl Harbour a minor exception) such as have the Europeans and Asians. Again, what do we know of being occupied by another army? D) In the 90’s, I gave a speech to Grade 4 students as a guest speaker. Put up your hands, I asked, if you come from Somali: 75% raised their hands. Leave your hands up if you agree with me that warfare is shown as a game in Canada’s culture. The hands remained up. Now leave your hands up if, indeed, war in your former country was a game. All the hands shot down. Our ignorance on such issues is bliss to many people as Canadians are considered to be the luckiest people in the world i.e. U.S. soldiers will die to protect their northern flank (Cda.) As a former history teacher, I am thankful for that U.S. umbrella explaining why I am turning to POTUS TRUMP to speak out on my Identity Theft (the 21st Century crime against all democracies) once he becomes President again in January.

 

DEC. 17 A) Canada’s Deficit (not even ‘Debt’ Discussion any longer, is 62 Billion which is 20 Billion over projection. I like the suspension of the GHT/HST Tax but it is ‘fool’s gold’ considering our debt which will only see a great increase in inflation. Run-away inflation of Germany 1920’s?... move over…. B) Hence with their ‘inflationary brains’, gov’t. factotums are incapable of dealing with such national issues such as my Identity Theft which ‘doth make cowards of us all’ and is now an algorithm due to the SCofC foul-up….  C) Forty years ago, 80% of Cdns. had faith in their institutions (which would include the Claw Courts & Parliament). Today, a survey showed that figure is down to 20%. Should the truth of my Identity Theft get known; that number could expect to even hit ‘negative numbers’ (to allow for inflation)…. D) School Shootings in the U.S. are skyrocketing; the latest causing death in Wisconsin on Monday. Perhaps this dynamic, more than any other, will have the U.S. revising their arcane gun laws (2nd amendment). E) I am on record that I would not survive the teaching environment of today. At one time, commentators would ask, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ Now they ask, ‘What’s wrong with our schools?....

 

DEC.16 What was he (Trudeau) thinking, when he told Freedland (who considered herself the heir apparent to Trudeau) that he was demoting her to another lesser Cabinet post? (Probably that his new Finance Minister (Ottawa Mayor Mark Carney?) would improve Liberal fortunes at her expense.) Her expected blowup by everyone but Trudeau puts ‘paid’ to the Liberal fortunes in the next election. Carney won’t run for the Liberals now, if he has any sense …does he?....

 

DEC. 15  The coldest day in Ottawa this year at -14 degrees. Those poor people living in tents….

 

DEC. 03 The U.S. public should have known better…after pardoning the Thanksgiving Turkey, Biden would then continue his pardons by giving one to Hunter Biden. The outraged Democratic Party should immediately lay impeachment charges against Biden to publicly show their disapproval although nothing will come of that charge. If Trump is wacked before Jan. 8 (Investiture Day), he will be buried as a civilian – albeit a Presidential candidate – with only recognition for his past service as a POTUS. Elon Musk rules This what Putin is warning against as Trump is the only one capable of preventing WWIII….

 

DEC.01 A)  Someone has to die’ SEE NEWSLETTER NOV/DEC below B) Do not vote for the Premier Doug Ford Gov’t. in any future election until my Identity Theft issue is resolved (currently being bungled by the SCofC calling for new steps in January 2025. C) Putin warns about a plot to assassinate Trump; possibly by poison this time. Now that the Republicans own the Presidency and the Senate, they no longer have any use for Trump. Multi-billionaire Elon Musk can tell you that….
