On the positive side: Canadian humiliated their Fascist Conservative Prime Minister and his divisive political agenda.

His \u2018Sunny Days\u2019 motto kind of catches in my throat \u2013 gag, choke \u2013 but at least that IS a positive message and the \u201cCanada is back!\u201d message that everything I believed was the real Canada does seem to be on the front burner these days.

I was inspired by my wish that all levels of government and all businesses had everybody\u2019s best interest at heart and were completely ethical and honest. \u2014&gt; I sat there thinking I should begin a nice, short, high impact novel with a conversation I had with a mechanic in Arnprior a couple years ago. The weathered-looking man had been tortured for years over the message he got from a vice president of General Motors at a meeting he got a free ticket to. This was at a big deal convention that he was privileged to attend as a reward for his excellence in the service department of a GM car dealership. After the VP gave the assembled mechanics a pep talk, he invited them to come look at what was new in the wonderful new vehicles that the company would be introducing in the near future. My friend the mechanic gawked at a plastic part that the engine depended on to keep working safely and efficiently, pointed to it and turned to the V.P. and said, \u201cBut this is plastic \u2013 That part has always been metal- This part will wear out too quickly.\u201d And the V.P. scowled darkly and sneered, \u201cDo you like your job? I\u2019m paying somebody two million dollars a year to come up with stuff like this so you have a job!\u201d\u00a0 *** This year I was very happy to see a tweet explaining that the French Parliament had passed a law making it illegal to build anything with deliberately planned obsolescence included in any of its parts. I just hope they can enforce that. Hey! If they can I will jump on any \u201cBuy Stuff Made In France!\u201d bandwagon. &#x1f642;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 Optimistic in Canada \u2013,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>~~~~~ Jim<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">&#8220;New Year&#8217;s Day, 2016 -&#8220;<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1076\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-01-NewYearsDay.png?resize=964%2C701\" alt=\"&quot;New Year's Day -&quot;\" width=\"964\" height=\"701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-01-NewYearsDay.png?w=964 964w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-01-NewYearsDay.png?resize=549%2C399 549w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-01-NewYearsDay.png?resize=768%2C558 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-01-NewYearsDay.png?resize=150%2C109 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-01-NewYearsDay.png?resize=206%2C150 206w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 I can\u2019t remember the day or date. I was sitting in the waiting room of the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep &amp; Ram dealership in our Canadian town, just beyond the Capital Region\u2019s official border. Our town was mostly suburban in character with a few \u2018high rises\u2019, none of which reached 10 stories high, several of them subsidized for the aged and partially handicapped, and most of them just off the main roads through town. There were a lot of farms just outside the town\u2019s limits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 The weathered man came into the waiting room while I was trying to adjust my posture to lean back against the wall just right to relieve the strain on my arthritis pained back and neck. I guessed he was a farmer \u2013 dressed in working clothes and boots, weathered face and gnarled hands \u2013 he carried himself with the toughness of somebody who had worked hard all his life and the tenderness of a man who loved to watch crops and animals grow. I thought the worry in his expression was due to the idea that he thought he should be tending crops or livestock instead of sitting around, waiting for his car or truck to undergo scheduled maintainance of have something replaced that had worn out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 He smiled at me like he was someone who was relieved to have company- \u201cThat your Jeep I saw out there?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 I nodded, \u201cWe got a good deal, leased it \u2013 I guess they were having trouble making their sales quota that summer because they included a lot of free maintainance with almost everything covered-\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 He smiled to himself and nodded, \u201cI kept my old Jeep together with so many parts from cheap parts cars that the inspectors didn\u2019t know what to call it- I bought in new one year, replaced fenders, headlights and just about everything else with parts from jeeps as much as ten years different- They always went with the original year when I showed them the ownership papers from way back.\u201d He smiled like somebody who was fondly remembering a favorite hunting dog or companion he sorely missed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 I winced and tried to move my back just right to relieve the pain that was beginning to sting between two of my arthritic spinal vertebrae<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 He looked through me, nodded like he recognized the symptoms of living with the usual processes of aging and not exactly living a sedentary life. He looked away and wrinkled his forehead and looked back at me. He looked like he wanted to say something and hoped I was the kind of person who might appreciate what he had to say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 I have no idea how people with similar philosophies recognize each other, or how people with controversial views take the chance that someone they\u2019ve never seen before might share those views, but he made the leap, nodded, \u201cYup- I worked as a head mechanic for a GM dealership for many years \u2013 and one year my shop won a prize for best customer satisfaction in our district, so they sent me to Detroit, all expenses paid, to this high powered convention where a lot of mechanics were there and one of their big vice presidents came out and stood in front of several concept vehicles and new models that were about to go on display at a kind of yearly tour of shiny new advances in the automotive industry \u2013 This Vice President fellow sure did know how to talk, to tell us about how lucky we were to work for General Motors and how their big corporate plans had all been made with people like us in mind \u2013 and when he finished, he invited us all to come up and get a look under the hoods of all these shiny new cars and see what we would probably be working on in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 \u201cWell, I got up there and I was looking into the engine of this brand spankin new family vehicle when I noticed something, and realized that this one part that was critical to engine performance and safety was made out of plastic \u2013 The Vice President was right there beside me and he smiled and asked me, \u2018What do you think?\u2019 I pointed to that part and said, \u201cThese have always been made of metal, this here is plastic, it\u2019s gonna wear out too soon -\u201d and the man looked angry \u2013 he sneered at me and said, \u2018Do you like your job? Do you want to keep working for us? I\u2019m paying somebody two million dollars a year to come up with ideas like that so you have a job!\u2019-\u201d The man I\u2019d thought was a farmer looked deeply troubled, like he\u2019d borne that weight on his conscience for way too long and still did not know how he felt about working for a corporation whose ethics and business practices were nothing like \u2018honest\u2019 or \u2018above reproach\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 I nodded, having worked for companies that rewarded unethical supervisors with yearly bonuses and pats on the back, myself. I walked away from that. But I never had a family depending on me and he was wearing a worn wedding ring on his gnarled left hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 Even now, several years later, I wish I could have thought of something, said something to him that could ease his conscience, convince him that he did not share in the responsibility for needlessly manipulating millions of car buyers into constant debt for way too long so corporate big wigs could suck on contraband cigars and laugh all the way to their banks \u2013 He was just as much a victim as anyone who bought one of those over hyped over priced, sabotaged vehicles \u2013 whose planned obsolescence might not just cost anybody who bought one more money than they needed to spend, but could also put their lives and health in jeopardy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 I still feel his pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">= = = = =<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 The blogger checks himself in the mirror before he gives his web recording video camera its last check and then positions himself against the green background where his intricately well-timed images will change behind his \u2018talking head\u2019 face while he reads his carefully planned and timed words.

Every year he won the award for the best grown corn. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.

people awake in Victoria, British Columbia. The quake was centred just off the coast of Vancouver Island, between islands in that area. They also reported that the quake happened at about 42 kilometers deep underground where plates were moving under one another. The Canadian earthquake measuring people later adjusted their estimate and reported they believed the quake weighed in around 4.7. The US Geological Survey also reported that they believed the epicentre had occurred at more like 52.5 km deep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1086\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-03-USGS-Map.png?resize=900%2C782\" alt=\"&quot;USGS Maps-&quot;\" width=\"900\" height=\"782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-03-USGS-Map.png?w=900 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-03-USGS-Map.png?resize=549%2C477 549w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-03-USGS-Map.png?resize=768%2C667 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-03-USGS-Map.png?resize=150%2C130 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-03-USGS-Map.png?resize=173%2C150 173w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 Oklahoma had a cluster of at least 7 smallish quakes that have been blamed on Hydraulic Fracking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 Looks like 2016 is off to a start that could be summed up in early Rock And Roll lyrics as \u201cShake, Rattle and Roll\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>~~~~~ Jim<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">&#8220;First Monday in 2016 &#8212; Earthquakes &amp; Market Manipulations -&#8220;<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h1>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1088\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-04-First_Monday.png?resize=966%2C719\" alt=\"&quot;First Monday -&quot;\" width=\"966\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-04-First_Monday.png?w=966 966w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-04-First_Monday.png?resize=549%2C409 549w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-04-First_Monday.png?resize=768%2C572 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-04-First_Monday.png?resize=150%2C112 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aerendel.ca\/aarchives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2016-01-04-First_Monday.png?resize=202%2C150 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 I sat down to watch the news after Cathi went to work, her first day back after her Christmas Holidays. I drifted in and out and began seriously waking myself up while CBC News casters were talking about a \u2018domino effect\u2019 from a 7% drop in China\u2019s stock market. The Chinese closed their market down to halt the downward slide. I thought the news casters might have been saying that the downward slide in China caused a domino effect and was causing a bit of a world-wide panic \/ market sell-off. Then I wondered if somebody was trying to say that the fact that the Chinese closed down their market caused the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 I was in and out of sleep \/ \u2018wakefulness\u2019 and \u2018heard\u2019:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cThe market manipulators are making their move<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2013 Smug in their belief that their tactics<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">have worked so well in the past<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2013 But something has changed \u2013<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2013 Their efforts will fail<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">And their failure will be \u2018Ultimate\u2019 -\u201c<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 I\u2019m not entirely sure exactly what that means, or whether it popped up through my imagination all by itself, or might have been the thoughts of someone in China or somewhere else on this planet, or what. (?) The phrasing didn\u2019t come out in any patterns I usually think in \u2013 and when I tried to edit my thoughts to make the last phrase : \u201cTheir efforts will ultimately fail.\u201d I felt like some kind of authority figure disapproved of that wording.

These last couple days have been more like pins and needles in my cranium, with me wondering if anything I\u2019m trying to create might generate more heat than light.

Was it designed to fire up our will to resist the evils of \u2018modern society\u2019? Or did it leave us all shell-shocked and resigned to giving up and submitting to a near-future dystopia? &amp; How prophetic might it have been? Cops and jack-booted black uniformed fascists beating up on unarmed citizens? disenfranchised unarmed kids and members of the general public with nothing to lose resorting to rioting and smashing institutionalized symbols of mind-numbing lowest common denominator schooling and then they symbols of \u2018consumerism\u2019?

Their other tactics include using Intelligence Gathering Operations like the C.I.A. and MI-6 to recruit, train and secretly control \u2018Terrorists\u2019 like Al-Qaeda and ISIS \u2013 in order to maintain an atmosphere of fear and anxiety because fearful and anxious populations can be convinced to surrender their rights and freedoms in favor of promises of safety and security. The fact that governments use Anti-Terrorist legislation to turn their guns on their own citizens does not become immediately apparent. Police disguised as rioters have been \u2018outed\u2019 in areas where G-20 meetings supposedly drew a lot of civil unrest and lots of peaceful demonstrators were arrested and later had charges against them dropped. This happened in Toronto, Ontario, Canada a couple years ago. And it\u2019s happened in too many other cities around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 \u201cGovernments have killed more of their own civilian populations than all the Wars in the Last Century.\u201d \u2014<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2014 In other, possibly more hopeful news, Anti-Terrorist Laws in the UK have been found to violate fundamental rights by failing to protect the rights of journalists and labeling journalists who criticize their governments as terrorists.
