I asked for a subject to write about this morning and found a post of Facebook highlighting this event from 212 years ago. It’s appropriate for this moment because of the recent trade “war” between Canada and the United States.
The timing has been rectified to show what energies were ‘in the air’ that evening. The burning of the White House was a symbolic act to embarrass the Americans. It is also the last time that an enemy has invaded the continental states and got away with it. Americans like to think they won that war, but Canadians know better. It might be the same with the tariff battle going on now. Have the lessons of being at war with your neighbours been learned? We shall see.
When the United States and Canada (along with Mexico) were negotiating the ‘new’ NAFTA in 2018, I commented that Canada didn’t need the USA as much as they did us. In the end, some agreement is better than none, I guess, but Trump has been trying to make money off international trade and hasn’t been able to make any tariffs stick. The USMCA (known as CUSMA in Canada) was supposed to be renegotiated this year, otherwise it will continue on for another decade, or so I’m led to believe.
The Art of the Deal man in the Oval Office really doesn’t have a clue. He’s up against Canada’s Prime Minister, who is a economist. Trump looks weak, but his inflated sense of self doesn’t allow him to see what’s really going on. To think that he could curtail Canada’s trading partnerships with other countries implies that he really does think of Canada as the 51st state. Foolishness, for sure.
Now there’s a tit-for-tat trade war going on. Who will blink first? You know who…
All along, we have suspected that we made God in our image. But we may have got it backwards. What’s new?
Esoterically, we each have a God Particle in our DNA. What does that really mean?
He was quoting Psalm 82:.6
Human beings are as capricious as gods. That is why we can be so dangerous to all life. But we can also be kind, full of loving kindness. How does that figure?
On Wednesday, we drove by our old home, on the way to Buddy’s vet appointment. It looked great.
Later that same day, we got to walk through the house and visit the gardens with the present owners.
They’ve done an excellent job of maintaining and improving the house and gardens. Susan said that she wasn’t able to continue what she set out to do, but they completed it. It’s in good hands.
And, yes, it was weird being there, but satisfying in its own way. Even Buddy got to roam the back garden again. We visited with three of our old neighbours, too. Everything’s different but nothing’s changed. Isn’t that how life is?
It feels like years since my numbers have been down. I may be exaggerating, but every day I was pleasantly surprised by where my posts were being read. Who lives in North Bergen, N.J.?
It might be more than one person, because of all the posts I’ve written, they’ve been read from start to finish over five times, in my best estimation. Perhaps there’s a book club that looks at WordPress posts.
Anyway, there must be an interest in the occult in the region. Check out this notice from their public library:
It’s from 2025, but that gives me a clue. Maybe, one of them saw my posts and shared it with their friends. Whoever you are, I’m grateful for the attention. Thank you.
Eleven months ago, we moved into Horizon, the French River senior community in Noelville, Ontario. All but one of the 30 units have been rented out over the past year. Now, we’re starting to lose some of the tenants.
Because the initial rental agreement is for twelve months, followed by a month-to-month rental continuation, people are deciding whether they want to stay here, or not.
For at least ten of the tenants, I have done their birth charts (for free, in case the CRA is interested). My reason for doing so is the different personalities that make up a third of the tenancies. Only four tenants knew what time of day they were born. The rest I rectified their charts.
It will come as no surprise that not everyone gets on with everyone else, and the psychological differences are quite provocative, at times. Happily, one pair have gotten together since they met, but the rest have formed little cliques, which upsets the natural order of community. Some are born leaders, some assume they should be in control, and others choose not to take any side at all.
Group dynamics is always tricky. But the natural order of life is that some will feel like they’re not welcome, and others feel justified when pressure is exerted on those individuals. All anyone wants in their senior years is to have a peaceful environment, or to be left alone to get on with their retirement.
Maybe getting a new superintendent will help, but, in the meantime, we have been without anyone on site for the last three months. That’s a concern for all of us.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the residents are getting on with their lives and hoping to have a peaceful time of it. Nobody wants turmoil. And nobody wants conflict.
We don’t often get a glimpse into the nature of another being, but sometimes the information bleeds through lyrics that were written 55 years ago.
Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign Strong and kind And the little boy is mine Now I see a family where there once was none Now we’ve just begun Yeah, we’re gonna fly to the sun
You can tell when a country is behind the government during a wartime conflict: the media help the effort to defeat the enemy by choosing to fall in line with the way the government wants to present what’s going on. So, it’s obvious (isn’t it?) that the main stream media (MSM) have decided they don’t like the Iran War and are (no so) secretly sabotaging Trump’s messaging. Of course, TACO Trump is not helping himself by flip-flopping what he says (and posts on social media). This does not bode well.
We all love a conspiracy theory. This one cannot be Mandela-ed out of our consciousness by saying it cannot be true. The Matrix was released in 1999, a full 2 years before 9-11. What is going on here?
