More Letters!

 We got this question in the mail today:

Is Donald Trump overplaying his hand, with Canada? Canada is the US' largest trading partner, and has a population of 40 million people... Is it really wise for Trump to be playing confrontational power games with Canada... that will hurt us both?

To which Barbara Hunter replied: 

No but he is not known as the brightest light bulb in the chandelier. Ontario’s premiere, Doug Ford, has already promised if Trump goes ahead with the tariffs he will order all electricity to over millions of Americans turned off immediately. (Ever heard of Niagara Falls? The power plants are on OUR side; not to mention all the power generation coming from the province of Quebec, our next door provincial neighbour.)

I am not a fan of our premier... but on this issue... I applaud him. Stay tuned. Canadians are so fed up with Trump`s bullshit about annexing Canada, calling us the 51st state, and disrespecting our Prime Minister by calling him “Governor” and not “Mr. Prime Minister”…. we have had enough!

I can’t wait when Prime Minister Trudeau calls for tariffs on our softwood lumber exports to the States (that`s what most of your homes are built with - Canadian softwood lumber); oil for manufacturing plants to operate and oh yeah, gasoline to run your cars. 

Trump has invited the biggest shit show to happen since we burned down your White House in 1814 when the American powers that be thought they could easily take over Canada. 

What an eye-opener that was! 

I think Trump forgets that we are a NATO country and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations; both groups of countries who would jump right in there to support us.

It is very, very sad.  

Barbara Hunter.

Well, remember this, Barbara...

Politicians tried to have Drumpf declared NUTS the last time around! (25th Amendment!)

This time, they might have a better case!!!!!!!!

Letters... we get lots and lots of letters!

 Alex Beal replied to your comment on an answer to: "If the universe is a hologram, as some theories suggest, what implications does that have for our understanding of reality and existence?"

Allan:

No one else knows you, quite like you! Where we are alike and exceptionally unique! Only there isn’t anything that ‘’special’’ when a presumed superiority comes about. Why, certainly people share the same empathetic outlook that I have inherently! AND when you analyze what may be gathered. From observation to a learnt experience itself. The solutions are a given by what may be expressed, and then maliciously upended from the likes of who are professed. We exist in a world. Where there’s a VERY popular religion that evidently teaches about unconditional love. When someone has this understanding as an innate quality, oh, I’ll speak for myself; I DO NOT need unconditional love explained to me when it is the very reason why the definitive comes to apply. Unconditional love must be TAUGHT? Someone ever TAUGHT you a ‘’lesson’’? (Teaching loses application around prepubescent stages depending on the progress of cognitive development.) Any further education requires instruction. As a professor has a verifiable practice. When ‘’things’’ become standardized. There is no more room for a standard by a factual opinion that cannot possibly matter. As we as a species must evolve! Lest we forget the dark ages. And on this day, we forgot about what incited the Dark Ages. And on another particular day it was ‘’writ’’. AND THEN there is a specific reason why not to begin a sentence with a conjunction outside of formality. Children speak this way because they are learning how. Although, I do not forget where I came from, as your reasoning has merit, and by all rationality: I shall only be agreeable about the notion. The pursuit has become quite the obstacle! When a solution presents itself and is outright dismissed. There cannot be any sort of development. The outcomes by what may or may not ensue have been thoroughly calculated from our very own sapience. The imagination is preconceived at this point in recorded history. As having a record, one may THINK, will prevent repetition. A notable refrain. My Father is a history professor even in death, and I shall carry his tune. That thinking and knowing are not the same. Expanding upon a thought through the process of thinking is only speculative. Versus having an idea about what is known!

Ideas. 

Are not ideals. 

Thank you for the ‘’upvote’’, Mr. Janssen!

Thanks for your help, Alex, although I imagine that, like the rest of us..., you could use some too!

Regards! 😀
