I came across a "Passport to Alberta" that was issued back in the 80s. Of course, it's a novelty passport; however, it does show, like Quebec, the ongoing discontent in the provinces. And, I must say, it's always brought on by the politicians for some reason. They are the root cause of disillusionment.
I always loved visiting the US, especially when we could cross the border freely. And then came the passports, which started a slight decline and a little more of a hassle, and then came Trump, who has a hate-on for Canada. That change pushed the friendship over the edge. Why would a Canadian deliberately put themselves through the humiliation, the fingerprinting and now the DNA test to cross that border?
I'm afraid all politicians went to the same school; however, I hope Canada's Prime Minister is not doing a back-pedal on us. Especially when we were starting to trust someone in Ottawa.
As I commented about hands-on trades, I forgot to mention that if you live in Ontario, the Department of Transportation is looking for " road inspectors" (DOT). Their duties are to inspect unsafe vehicles on our highways. Now the ad was up only for a short time; however, 'beat down their door and at least find out.'
Many years have gone by since I was in school, but even then, they wanted to and did do away with hands-on trades. My problem is, not everyone can be a stockbroker or a doctor. Today, many trades that are still functioning and will forever be, are still working. Hands-on. Would AI replace a plumber? na...I don't think? However, I do feel sorry for those who are unemployed.
I am sad that our Prime Minister endorsed this illegal act by the US and Israel. What would happen when and if Canada decides to manufacture its own nukes for protection? International Law must be only a guideline that you can cross whenever the mood strikes you.
I have to wonder, last time I checked Canada is a sovereign country, why can trump dictate who we can help and who we can not. My opinion: we should help the Cuban People as much as we can and give the Trumpsters the middle finger salute.
International law is just a guideline,
I believe behind the scenes, it's got the smell of Trump.

Sorry folks for the negative thought, but it just gives all sides time to R&R and rearm. I don't think it's over.
