Subject: Proud Canadian (email from a friend)
One of my sons serves in the military, he is stationed in Ontario, Canada. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him and his troops everywhere they go. Telling me how people shake their hands and thank them for being willing to serve and fight, not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them too. then he told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that several people were in the line ahead of him, including a woman dressed in a Burkha. He said when she got to the cashier, she made a loud remark about the Canadian flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin and said, 'Yes, I always wear it proudly because I'm a Canadian.' The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. Then, a gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman "Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq , so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country, that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid." Everyone within hearing distance cheered!

I hate the killing of sharks for their fins. People who eat shark fin soup should be ashamed. There are those who are trying to do something about it: Captain Paul Watson risks his life to make a difference, while Sharktrust promotes conservation through awareness. And check out the movie Sharkwater!

Saw this in the Financial Post titled "The Hot Trend is Cool Yachts," and did a bit of research to find this from the BBC: Futuristic Fleet of Cloudseeders put forward by professors John Latham and Stephen Salter. It makes sense, doesn't it? Also here, some info from The Economist.

Something all Canadians should be worried about is having an individual or company stake a claim on your own personal property. What's worse is that someone can do it just to harass you. Here's an article from Canadian Business: Not In Your Backyard by John Gray.

Just got back from a Western Canadian trip. Wow! What a beautiful country. Started in Edmonton, then up to Fort McMurray, back to Edmonton, and then a great trip to the wine regions of the Okanagan Valley including stops to investigate some interesting investment opportunities in Canadian vineyards. Through the Crowsnest pass, over the mountains, and back to Calgary for the flight home.

Everyone worries about climate change, and some people will debate the effects. But even if you don't believe in climate change, what do you think about all the toxins spewed into the air that permeates our bodies?
