Carney won't repeal anti-pipeline
legislation
Sun political columnist Brian Lilley says PM Mark Carney has stated he
will not repeal Bill C-69 legislation when it comes to anti-pipeline
legislation. Oil and gas are Canada’s “trump card” when diversifying our
economy explains Lilley then just selling to the Americans. Opposition
leader Pierre Poilievre promises to do this if elected as PM.

Got in my final visit from Maple Insurance
where I signed off the insurance claim for my water leak.
Also got a visit from my friend Nola Crewe
from Toronto who was down to attend a funeral so she spent a couple of
days with me while I lent her my car so she could go down to Windsor to
attend the funeral.
Mind you this meant I had to get a taxi to
take me to my 6 weekly appointment with my eye specialist.
She has asked me to come over to her place
in Toronto for the Easter break and I've agreed to go so also looking
forward to seeing her extended family as it's now been several years
since I've been to Toronto.

Seems Canada got off a bit lighter than
most countries of the world on Trump's tariffs. I also note the
vote in the US Congress to exclude Canada from the Tariffs was won by a
couple of votes and so now goes to the Senate for ratification or not so
we'll see how this goes.
To be frank I think the damage has already
been done and trust has been broken but guess we'll see how things
develop.
As to the elections... the polling shows
the Liberals with a lead but people are suspecting this might not be
accurate as hundreds and thousands more people are attending the
conservative leaders gatherings than the liberal leader is getting.
The next video shows the potential and
issues around building pipelines in Canada. For example getting
Alberta oil to Quebec and Ontario they currently need to ship the oil
through the US which means the US could easily stop petrol from being
shipped into these two massive Provinces.

Mailed in my vote on Monday 14th for the forthcoming election.
I've voted for the Conservatives as I don't trust the Liberals with
their leader complicit in dealings with China and self interest due to
his various investments.
Moves are afoot in Canada to diverse our
trade away from the US and see the video below as an example of what is
going on...

English-Language Debate
Had a trip into Toronto to stay with Nola
and her family for the Easter Holiday. All the family attends a
church service run by Nola after which she gathers them together to
enjoy a feast of good food and then it's on to her house where they
search for Easter Eggs. So a great family day together.
On the Monday morning I woke up with chest
pains and wanting to vomit. I was in a bad way so called 911 to
get an ambulance out to take me to hospital to get checked out.
I got to the hospital around 7.00 am and
stayed overnight and was released at 10:30 am the next day. I found my
heart and lungs were in good shape and it appears that I overate at the
family feast. Strange but that's what they came up with.
Mind you I have yet to eat anything since then as I just can't stand the
taste of food for some reason. I've managed to drink some water
and diet coke.
They told me about a free to read book
about the hospital and so have obtained a copy and it's now on the site
under our Toronto page.

I met Nola's two new dogs and have to say I
didn't like them in the least. They barked all the time and one of
them nipped me and drew blood. [sheesh]
Anyway... I returned to my home in Chatham
on Tuesday late afternoon having driven there and back. Some
changes to the roads in Toronto since I was last there but managed to
find my way around.
Thank you to @joe_warmington for bringing up
this very important & disheartening report to Pierre. Why isn’t this Federal
report being shared everywhere? Just listen to this about Mark Carney's very
own Privy Council issued a shocking report warning of a societal breakdown
and economic crisis as a direct result of his proposed policies &
trajectory...

THIS from a citizen who lives in the UK and
has experienced Mark Carney. Take a moment to read this brief message and
pay close attention to what he has to say. And Liberals, be careful
what you wish for. It just might bite you in the ass.

My Handy Man - Doug - is looking for some
extra work so if anyone needs any yard clean up, grass cutting, pruning and
general property clean up then phone him on 226-627-3467. He has also
done some painting and carpentry work for me so I do highly recommend him.
He is available in the Chatham area in Ontario.

Voting is the duty of every Canadian. But
casting a vote that has been vetted to the benefit of present and future
Canadians is the duty of every Christian . . .
which means the Liberals have a minority
government.
The Conservative leader lost his seat and the
NDP leader is standing down and he also lost his seat. The Conservative vote
is the largest since 1988 and greater than Harper got in his three terms as
Prime Minister. This means that the Conservative leader will likely get
another seat.
