Polar Express Versus The Gravy Train
Obviously, these are two different views of Christmas. The latter is the economic benefit that businesses gain during the Christmas season and the former is a mysterious journey to a mysterious land.

On planet earth, it is unfortunate that the commerical aspects of the season far outweigh the mystical/magical aspects of it.

As I have said in other blog entries, there has been attempt by "dark forces", to suppress mysticism and magic by reducing it to unreal fantasy. Nullifying the power of spiritual helpers is also part of this diabolical program.

Needless to say, "Santa Claus", "Harry Potter", "The Incredibles", etc., etc. keep popping up in artistic works seeming appealing to children's fantasies.

We all want to remember what it was like before the "materialists" and "control freaks" sent earth to the dark age.

Perhaps, at one time or another, many of us have ridden on something like the "Polar Express."

What's A Canadian?
Hey.
I'm not a lumberjack,
or a fur trader...
and I don't live in an igloo
or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

I have a Prime Minister,
not a President.
I speak English and French,
NOT American.
and I pronouce it ABOUT,
NOT A BOOT.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.
DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,
AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.
A TOQUE IS A HAT,
A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,
AND IT IS PRONOUCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!

CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS!
THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY
AND THE MOUNTIES STILL GET THEIR MAN!

MY NAME IS DAVE!
AND I AM CANADIAN!

Christmas Time In The Canadian Post Office
Right after Halloween, the mail seems to pick up quite a bit especially where I work in the Toronto Exchange Office.

We're moving from the six day work week to the seven day workweek. Obviously, lots of overtime for Santa's big elves and witches/wizards.

Election Response Of The Week
Mood:

quizzical
This is not from a Canadian, but from an American citizen:
"The irony that the further right the U.S. leans(i.e. the more conservative, the more isolationist, the more certain that the Almighty is on their side, etc.), the more it resembles its so-called "enemies." This viewpoint seems to be lost on the majority of Americans.

The Unilateral Bush Show Continues
Don't expect much help from other countries in Iraq. It's a very dangerous environment there for anyone.

Who's going to pay for it? It's highly probable the American taxpayer will pick up close to the full tab relating to "peacekeeping activity and security in Iraq." Prepare for higher taxes and cuts in government services in the near future.

Hopefully, before the money runs out, a few good guys will discover Bin Laden's and Al-Zawahri whereabouts and collect a big reward. If not, you can vote for Hilary Rodham Clinton in the next election.

Terrorists Are The "Communists" Of The 21st Century
Without a doubt there were those in the past who relentlessly fear-mongered for political advantage. One of them was Senator Joe McCarthy.

A View Of Political Life In The Early 50s

There are rational fears and irrational fears. We must all be alert to separate the real threats from the bogus ones.

With a deep belief in the protective power of God, there's no need for Christians to filled with fear.
