CBC news has been promising much fuller coverage of climate change - and so far it's delivering it. That's very different from our privately owned news media.

We're not out of the woods yet. Not by a long shot. It's not really clear who is in charge in Washington - Trump or Bolton and  Pompeo? And even if it still turn out to be Trump, this is the man who illegally interferes with Iran trade. He has no business giving orders to Iran on who it is allowed to trade with. As well,
Trump is  under pressure from Saudi Arabia, Israel,  and United Arab Emirates. This is all really just one more version of the determination of American big business to rule the world.

There is no telling how big this war could get.

Look. We have to get used to it. We have to become one world. We  have to get over our racism and race superiority. We now have some  71 million migrants in the world - and most of them due to our greed. In the not very different future,  that number will rise to over a billion.
We really don't have a choice.

Bring me you tired, your poor.....

We don't pay the attention to public schooling that we should. It has the power to mould children for the rest of their lives. It, badly and cheaply run,  has the power to destroy them for the rest of their lives.
My early schooling was in the schools of the poor. I know well how such schooling drives them into poverty for life. Schooling on the cheap - as the political servants of the rich are showing us (check out Doug Ford and Ontario which imprisons the poor for life in poverty.)

Give your children a chance.

We can afford to let our billionaires skip taxes. We can afford to given them our money whenever they ask for it. Show your children as much care as you show your billionaires.

Better still - give some thought for offering public education for the adult poor.

Number Of Iraqis Slaughtered In US War And Occupation Of Iraq "1,455,590" impudent site. move to right to see missing part... https://www.nationalobserver.com/2019/06/17/news/faith-leaders-rally-declare-climate-crisis-toronto-photos Gee. I wonder how man Ontario papers covered this story. ______________________________________________________ __https://off-guardian.org/wp-content/medialibrary/ali-arif-soydas-370399-unsplash-smaller.jpg_____________________________________________________ This is a relatively blah blog for a blah day. The world, especially Canada, is showing little thought in the midst of a moneyed class that has gone wild. It buys politicians. It supports wars that are to its profit. It creates immense horror in parts of the world. And will soon be causing it much more. Around the world. basic needs of humanity are ignored. And deliberate starvation and murder are the rule of the day. And, oh, the general population is passive. We are approaching the greatest disaster in world history. And the Canadian people are scratching their rear ends wondering whether to vote Liberal or Conservative!!! (And the NDP and Greens, while better, are still well short of what has to be done. Climate change is happening. It will destroy us. The wealthy of Canada, the U.S., and other countries are robbing us all blind. And they won't stop until there is nothing left to take. We are sliding down hill very, very fast. And we're building a new pipeline. ___

Number of U.S. Military Personnel Sacrificed (Officially acknowledged) In U.S. War And Occupation Of Iraq 4,801 Gee! No wonder Trump is so proud of his brave American soldiers.
