However this is not true. It was actually reported on as soon as it happened late last year. The Diplomat in a November 2020... read more

We are steadying your soul
1) The golden aurora of the dawn, the sweet-throated bird notes, the quiet stillness, the traceries of silhouetted trees, shrubs and myriad shadow-shapes stand out from the coming light—yet brooding over all in quiet majesty is a serene sense of the love God intended expressed through nature. Gazing on this momentary beauty, sacred, hushed and awe-inspiring—the clash of ringing sword-play, the pain of mental cruelty, the struggle for power and human glory seems afar off. -Nada: *Pearls of Wisdom* 4:6 ……………………………………......................... ... read more

A VERY UNHAPPY BLOG
I'm really astonished by the Canadian (and American) contempt for the Chinese - and for the popular belief that the Chinese live in poverty and filth - and with no housing. In reality, it's the U.S. and Canada who have thrown huge numbers of people into the streets. It's us here in North America who have created slums. And that's not the first time this has happened. My father was a scout master for a troop in Montreal's Chinatown. Now, we lived in a VERY poor district of Montreal. But even for us, Chinatown was one hell of a shabby place. I liked the boys and was happy to help out ... read more
