extremely thoughtful, Like you I have those similar memories. I remember as a child the sound of the projector running in the classroom. Teacher would put on films about the wonderful diverse country called Canada. Showing fishing on the coasts and lakes, logging and minning, Canada as a peace keeper. Even at that young age I felt a sense of calm peacefullness and pride of course.

The worlds population was then as is now a commodity but, we did have politicians that at least gave the appearance of fear of their voters.

I am astounded by the actions being taken by government today. They seem so confident in their end result of the misinformation program they are running. It seems they have no fear of being exposed.

I am the youngest from a family of 4 children. My brothers and sister were all born in Canada as were my parents, Quebec and Saskatchewan born. I was the American, born after they moved to Detroit in 1963. Yes, there, then. My nickname to my relatives was 'Kinnykin', my childhood mispronounciation of the word American. Embedded in my childhood mind is my parents fear of the 1968 riots in Detroit, when I was 4, and the assassination of the Kennedy's. Of course I do not remember these things directly, but rather that the grownups seemed afraid is what I remember sensing. So in my mind, and in the minds of many, Canada was the safer place always. Now, the feeling that what we are seeing is the corporate takeover of the world. To resist will mean to resist all the things that these corporations 'offer', to cease supporting these corporations in all ways, and to pick away at the base of their power. Do not use Amazon. Do not use Microsoft. Do not use Visa. Get a land line again. Divest in any way you can think of from a credit society and starve big corps out. That is what they are doing to us, reducing us to profit and profit alone.
