Some people have opinions, and some people have convictions......................! What we offer is PERSPECTIVE!
For example...ALLAN's CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE!
THE LEFT WING IS CRAZY! THE RIGHT WING SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME!
"BioPanentheism holds that the 'Divine' does not merely pervade the Universe abstractly... but "Experiences Reality" directly and vicariously through the emergence of complex "Biological Consciousness..." making "Life Itself" the Medium of "God’s Awareness!"
BioPanentheism states that the Divine Spark, and Biological Life are distinct but interdependent... with the "Divine Experiencing Reality Vicariously through Conscious Living Beings!" (Sentience is about experiencing... while Sapience is about understanding and reflecting on that experience!)

AN URGENT MESSAGE FOR AMERICANS FROM A CANADIAN !
Sunday, 1 June 2025
Why is there no big outcry from Americans?
This is one American’s take on this debacle.
By Robert Meadows (Circuit Court Judge, Florida).
"Have you ever stopped to consider how lucky we Americans are to have the neighbours we have?
Look around the globe at who some folks have been stuck sharing a border with over the past half century:
North Korea / South Korea
Greece / Turkey
Iran / Iraq
Israel / Palestine
India / Pakistan
China / Russia
"We’ve got Canada!
Canada. About as inoffensive a neighbour as you could ever hope for.
In spite of all our boasts of “American exceptionalism” and chants of “America first,” they just smile, do their thing and go about their business.
They are, on average, more educated, have a higher standard of living, free health care, and almost no gun problems.
They treat immigrants respectfully and have already taken in over 35,000 Syrians in the last two years.
"They’re with us in NATO, they fought alongside us in World War I, World War II, Korea, the Gulf War, the Bosnian War, Afghanistan, the Kosovo War and came to our defense after 9/11. There was that one time when Canada took a pass on one of our wars: Vietnam. Turned out to be a good call.
"They’ve been steady consumers of American imports, reliable exporters of metals and petroleum products (they are the biggest importer of U.S. products from 37 states), and partnered with NASA in our space missions.
"During 9/11 many aircraft were diverted to Newfoundland, an island province off Canada's east coast where Americans were housed in people's homes for two weeks and treated like royalty. In return for their hospitality, this administration slapped a 20% tariff on the products of Newfoundland's only paper mill, thereby threatening it's survival.
"And what do Canadians expect of us in return? To be respected for who and what they are: Canadians. That’s what I call a good neighbor.
"But the King of Chaos couldn’t leave well enough alone. Based on his delusions of perpetual victimhood, out of the clear blue, he’s declared economic war on Canada. On CANADA! And he did it based on Canada being a national security risk to the US! For no good reason, other than the voices in his head that told him it was a war he could win. So why not do it, then?
"Again, we’re talking about Canada.
Our closest ally, friend and neighbour!

US vs THEM!
ALLAN: Canadians exhibit a sense of superiority to Americans on the internet. Is that also their true feeling in real life?
***
Nancy Harris, I'm an American who has travelled a lot and who has many Canadian friends.
I am confident that Canadians are superior in many ways to Americans.
For openers, Canada has more guns per capita than Americans, but they do not have the high incidences of mass shooting America has.
They do not ascribe to the silly gun culture or use religion to assert superiority over others.
Their media is not fear-based and fear-mongering.
I find more Canadians who are refreshingly moral, kind, caring, personable, emotionally mature, and reasonable than Americans.
But maybe it's just a coincidence. 😀
***
We don't want to offend anyone…

My husband lived there for 18 months and loved it.
I'm an American, my ancestors have been here since the Mayflower, and I consider myself very patriotic.
Too many Americans are adolescents in their attitudes.
I don't see Canadians as having a sense of superiority over Americans; the ones I've known don't; they are too civil and mature for that silliness.
***
An American would never behave like that.
After all, we both spoke English.
***
Bill Bennet When I was in Montreal, Canadians spoke better English than I do.
They had no accent that I could discern. But they wouldn't give me directions when I was lost if I didn't speak French.
All the business presentations were done equally for Canadians and Americans, yet the presenters would only speak in French, even though they were fluent in English.
We have yet to learn what the presentations were as a result.
You wouldn't get that in Chicago.
