The latest estimate of aboriginal children killed in their residential schools where they were sent by governments who took them completely away from their homes and families forever is now just over 4,000. They were abused by teachers and by clergy who operated the schools, and their bodies were simply dumped into pits.
(Roman Catholic clergy who were responsible for many of the deaths, perhaps most of them, and they have never acknowledged the horror of what they did.)
We're yet to take any final counts of the dead. They are probably far above the acknowledged ones. But our governments appear to be ignoring as much as they can about this. And our churches, as usual, don't seem to care.
They, more than a thousand years ago, abandoned Christian teaching. Indeed, for more than a thousand years, Christians have ignored the teaching of Christ with wars of murdering Christians against murdering Christians. Think - Hitler and his followers were mostly Christians just like those on our side. And it's Christians on all sides (Britain, U.S. France....) who have been murdering and plundering non-Christians like India, China...

Do you think that treatment for Covid and for the even worse one on the way is facing up to the need?
It's not.
In countries all over the world there are millions, many, many millions who can't get treatment at all. That's because most of the world's pharmaceutical companies sell only to the richer nations and at high prices. To them, this whole crisis is engineered to make profits - not to help the sick and dying.
That's why a Bill Gates smiles as he checks out the profits on his pharmaceutical companies. He's making huge profits - profits in the billions. As in the whole medical system of the U.S., the purpose is not to heal the sick. It is to enrich the super rich. There are huge numbers of Americans now who are dying because they can't afford health care. (For a start, think of the millions who live in tents or simply on the streets.)
Don't ever get sick in the U.S. It used to be like that in Canada. But the old CCF party, back in the 1960s, forced the government to create a health system not to enrich the already rich but to heal the sick.

Why do so many American business leaders want a war with China?
Simple. It's a major reason why wars are fought. American super-rich can't compete with Chinese production and development. That's why American and possibly Canadian soldiers will have to die.
Depend on it. Most wars are fought to make money for the rich.

Canada's National Observer looks like a very interesting source for news. And it's a news service that has many national awards. Check it out.
One news item that most Canadian newspapers have shown no interest in is the failure of the pope and Catholicism in general in take any responsibility for the deaths and hidden burials of aboriginal children in residential schools operated by the church and it's clergy.
The current issue also points out that Canada is the only G7 country which has failed to deal at all with climate changes and over-heated skies that are destroying us. It's not just half-wits like the Conservative premiers of Alberta and Ontario. It's half-wits like the Liberal Trudeau.
And, frankly, it's half-wits like all those Canadian voters who go on electing these people.
Wake up. Both Liberals and Conservatives are and always have been the sniveling puppets of the very wealthy who are killing us. And those very wealthy have been destroying us from the start. Yes. When it comes to politics, Canadians are wimps.
Apparently, we haven't noticed that we, like the U.S., have been suffering income loss while the super rich have made monster profits while hiding trillions in tax money they don't pay.
In much of the world we are living through this pattern of greed that goes back for thousands of years.
That's why the U.S. is murdering, starving, terrorizing millions all over the world. And now it tells us that the Chinese are evil. And Americans eat this up, ignoring the fact that they have been the most evil people by far in the last seventy years. Anyway, the only sin Americans care about and the reason many want to kill millions of Chinese is because Chinese sales are beating Americans in the market place.
And if this does lead to war, expect the Canadian Legion to urge Canadians to fight "for their country" though this has nothing to do with our country.
We are very close to world disaster.
And we and the U.S. and Europe are not democracies.
The U.S. is not even close to being a democracy. It never has been. Canada shows signs of becoming a democracy with the NDP. We'll soon see.
Incidentally, in World War Two, our clergy blessed and helped our side.
Think hard. Would Jesus have blessed just our side? Would Jesus have blessed the British Empire? Would Jesus have blessed the American troops who murdered clergy, nuns and missionaries in Guatemala? Would Jesus have blessed American troops in Afghanistan? Would Jesus have blessed British plundering for capitalists in China? Would Jesus have blessed Canadian troops who destroyed democracy in Haiti?
Would Jesus have blessed Canadian and American governments who are dumping families into the streets? Would Jesus have blessed Bill Gates for selling drugs at hugely inflated prices for our pandemic?

For more years than we can know we have allowed tiny groups of the super wealthy to abuse and plunder us. In Canada, these tiny groups control us (And abuse us) through the Liberals and Conservatives. The U.S. is even worse. Indeed, I don't know of any country in the world that can seriously be called a democracy.
We have to break that - and we have very, very little time to do it.
Should Canadians go to war to help Americans plunder China? It's quite possible we will with cheers from the Canadian Legion.
And by then, it doesn't matter what else will happen.

What are my politics? They were the CCF and then the NDP. These are the only major parties Canada has ever known who have worked to break the corruption, subservience - and murder - of the Liberals and Conservatives. After all, it was the Conservatives who sent Canadians to kill and to die in Afghanistan for a war in Afghanistan that was entirely and only to serve American greed.
Our world needs honesty. We've always needed it but never had it.
And this my be our last chance.
