Virtual Journey: Canada Tourist Guide & Autobiography. Excellent Places to Visit...

Every Place I've Been...

We Went on our Honeymoon to Vancouver, BC. We Rode a Bicycle built for Two in Stanley Park. Then We Had Formal Tea at the Hotel Vancouver.

Then We took a Ride on a Roller Coaster at the Pacific National Exhibition. This One was the Scaiest Roller Coaster I Ever Rode... When they Say: "Keep Your Seats" that's an INSTRUCTION meaning It's Your Job to Hang ON! for Dear Life.

Manning Park: Great Fishing. As a Child, my Family went Camping in Canada and I Caught Many Trout in a Creek... Sadly, My Brother Caught None... Early in the Day His Hook Fell Off of the Line but He Never Noticed... I just Kept on Catching 'em and Stufflng 'em in the Pocket of My Sweatshirt... Maybe a Dozen!

Buchart Park on Vancouver Island. Near the City of Victoria.

My Family took a Ferry Boat from Seattle to Victoria and That Ride was the Very First Memory of My Entire Life. I was Sitting on My Father's Shoulders and The Steam Whistle was VERY LOUD and Scary...

Old timey Ferry Boat from Seattle to Victoria, Canada

Banff/Lake Louise. Mom and I went to another of those Fancy Hotels and Ventured Out onto a Balcony to Admire the View. The Door Locked behind us and We were Trapped. Eventually We Were Able to Get the Attention of Someone that Opened the Door and Let us Back In... Brief Panic!

My Farher and I Took a Hike at Lake Louis and We Saw the Mountain Goats with our Binoculars. For Some Unknown reason Dad was Really Thrilled by This... Could be his Zodiac Sign... The Old Goat... We also were looking for Canadian Bigfoot but did not see Him...

When I was working at System Industries (a High Tech Factory in Santa Clara, CA) some of the other employees went on Helicopter Skiing Vacations at Banff. A Helicopter takes you to the top of a mountain and you ski down thru UNTOUCHED Snow...

Yes, We Were Paid a Lot and Could Do Things Like That... I got Married and Moved to Washington DC. Where I was Instantly Hired because I Had One Year Work Experience in Silicon Valley...

Calgary Stampede: On one of our Family Camping Trips Dad Decided that We Should Drive to Calgary and Rent a Motel Room (as a break from Plain dirt Camping.) - When we Got There we found out that "The Stampede" was Happening and All Motel Rooms were Sold Out...

We had never heard of "The Stampede" and So were Totally Surprised... So We Just went on Down the Road until we found someplace to Stay... and NO, We Did Not Attend the Rodeo...

Quebec: Our Family Toured both Montreal and Quebec. Hotel Le Chateau Frontenac.

The Only thing I Remember is that Dad Made a Big Deal out of Ordering Dinner in the French Language. I hope the Waitress Was Delighted...

Niagra Falls: I drove from My Home in Washington DC to Niagra Falls and Walked across the Rainbow Bridge to Canada. I was able to Walk Behind the Waterfall... and Have a LaBatts Beer... When I walked Back into the USA the Border Guard asked me "What was the purpose of my Journey to Canada?"and I replied: "To Get a Beer... They Only Sell the Good Quality Labatts in Canada." Well, the Border Guard was Not Pleased with that answer... No sense of Humor... and There was a Brief moment when I was wondering IF I was going to Get back into the USA...

Maid of the Mist Boatride at Niagra Falls... I took that Ride... Excellent! We Went Really Close to the Falls and Got Totally Drenched in the Spray... Everyone Gets to Wear a Super Thick Raincoat during the Voyage...

Glacier National Park: We were Camping in a Tent when a Bear Picked up the Coleman (all metal) Ice Chest We Had Left on the Picnic Table... He Kept on Throwing it on the Ground Until it Busted Open. Then He Ate the Bacon and Butter but NOT the Honey... The Park Rangers Chased the Bear off... My Parents were Worried but I was unconcerned... The Rangers Were Unconcerned as well because they Knew The Bear Well. Glacier, BC is Right Across the Border From Glacier, Montana.

That's what I remember about Traveling in Canada... A Totally Fabulous Country that I Ought to Tour More...

Trump's USMCA Law Bans Baby Formula Import From Canada. That's Just Crazy! #Trump5150 He's a Danger to Self and Others.

#Trump5150 He's a Danger to Self and Others.

As part of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), negotiated by President Donald Trump to replace the North America Free Trade Agreement in July 2020, Canada agreed to impose an additional surcharge of $3/kg if the total volume of its global formula exports—not just exports to the U.S.—broke a certain threshold. That threshold is currently set at 40,480 metric tons for the current "dairy year" of August 1 2021 to July 31 2022.

The new duties seemingly closed off Canada as a source of infant formula.

Project MKULTRA: The CIA Mind Control Experiment That Escaped The Laboratory and Got Out Onto The Dance Floor! Was "The Sixties" Really a Test to Just Find Out What Would Happen IF A Million People Took LSD?

At First, The CIA Allowed Millions of Doses of LSD to be Distributed at Grateful Dead Concerts JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE CURIOUS... and then Later, The CIA Deployed All Those Vendors BECAUSE IT WORKED! Many People Who Took LSD Became "NOT A THREAT" To The Ruling Class. People Became interested in Learning How to Play Guitar instead of Being Interested in The Violet Overgrow of the US Government... People Became interested in Organic Farming... Again, Remote Marijuana Farmers and Organic Vegetable Growers DO NOT POSE A DANGER TO THE IVY LEAGUE EAST COAST ESTABLISHMENT...

They Even Had a CIA Consultant Touring Coast to Coast Advising Young People to "Turn On, Tune In and Drop Out." Yes, Dr Timothy Leary Worked for the CIA Designing the Leary Personality Test. --- AND --- People who "Drop Out" are Mostly Harmless... There were a Couple of Exceptions: Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin Started the "YIPPIES" and Protested Against the Vietnam War... Causing Thousands of People to Surround the Pentagon to Try and Levitate It. They also Created the 1968 Chicago Riots...

Climate Change in Central America is Making Farmers WALK NORTH. No Rain Causes Starvation. Secretary of State Pompeo Recommends Everyone Move North to "Solve" Global Warming Problems... Of Course, That Plan Fails When We RUN OUT OF NORTH to Move To...

He recommends Americans go to Canada and Alaska to avoid disasters Like Hurricanes in New Orleans and Wild fires in California. GOOD PLAN, for about TEN Years... and then we simply run out of NORTH when we are all living on the poles... Can't go any further than the North Pole and when that becomes Uninhabitable... Extinction... Hey, maybe he's looking at his own lifespan and making a plan for ten years is excellent when you are OLDER THAN DIRT... We need to get all the Old White Men out of Running the Government and Industry. We have a limited Knowledge Base and CANNOT THINK UP A SOLUTION to problems that we caused... I Know... I am an old white man and... Thinking up NEW ideas simply does not happen to Elderly People... Look at Rock Musicians like Pete Townsend... He hasn't written a song in 30 years... I haven't written a song in sixteen years... I had a really creative period in the 1980s and the early 2000s but the well has gone dry... WE NEED YOUNG PEOPLE TO THINK UP NEW PLANS for solving these problems... I remember that when I was a kid we drove all over the place just to hear another Grateful Dead Concert... All that driving around CAUSED air pollution that caused Climate Change. NO, It's not the oil companies that are to blame... it's the people buying gas... It's people driving driving driving on vacation and every day to work. What IF we moved the OFFICE Closer to home? Then commuting to work would be shorter. What IF we just filled all those empty shopping malls with light industrial factories?

What about a Cultural Shift? Car races would be NO LONGER FUN if everyone knew that extinction was caused by driving. Who would want to go to the Daytona 500 or Indianapolis if Cars Were Not Socially HIP? I remember that on Friday and Saturday nights they had car races at the Fairgrounds in the Summer. I could hear them and they sounded like angry bees. Definitely a Bad Sound. AND YET, people were buying tickets to go to the races... ABSURD! The sound is the sound of death. Chainsaws also sound like death. Leaf Blowers sound like death. Motorcycles Sound Like Death. and they all smell like death... Just attach a hose to your car's tailpipe and force the exhaust in thru a window that's rolled down two inches... turn on the engine and sit inside with all the other windows rolled up. That's a standard way to commit suicide. In a larger view... We are All in a closed system... the atmosphere of planet earth is just like the inside of a car with the windows rolled up. We are pumping pollution into the air... Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide... totally fatal if breathed in sufficient quantities... Burning Coal to make electricity releases Fatal Exhaust also. WE NEED TO USE LESS ELECTRICITY until the time when it is all generated by Solar, Wind, Hydro and BIOMASS. Biomass uses waste wood, sawdust to generate electricity... It is important to get rid of that waste somehow... and Biomass power plants are better than putting it in the City Dump. Use less electricity by simply turning the light switch off when leaving the room... Just like your mother taught you... What if we had Motion sensor lights everywhere? Lights come on when people are in the room ONLY. What if we removed HALF of the streetlights? What IF we unplugged all those transformers that power our modems and computers and televisions and phones? Transformers GET WARM even when the machine they are powering is turned off. WARM? WHY? There is A Coil of wire sucking up alternating current all day every day... it's used to convert 110 volts AC to 12 volts DC... But you pay for it on your electric bill even when you are not using it! Computer GEEKS call the Wall Warts. Plug them all into a power strip with a switch and when you are done, flick the damn switch... You Planet Will Thank You...

What IF Amazon, Microsoft or Warren Buffet pays a Billion Dollars to invent a Better Air Conditioner? Everyone wants to be cool in the Summer and Every Air Conditioner Uses a LOT of Power... I read that the Univesity of Singapore is doing groundbreaking research... WHAT IF we behaved Smart? Invest in something Useful? Stop inventing new Drone Bombers... There is no need to find a faster way to kill people. Lockheed, Raytheon and General Atomics are Merchants of Death. NOW, a Raytheon Employee is Acting Secretary of Defense... Wow, Obvious Corruption or WHAT!

I see TV advertisements for Brand New Giant Trucks and Insurance and... I just laugh... I don't own a car... I'm not going to buy one anytime soon... It makes no difference at all how wonderful the tailgate on a truck is... I don't care, I don't Care, I don't CARE, I JUST DON"T CARE! Limu-EMU? Nope... Not My Bird...

Trumpnik Steven Miller questions if the Words on the Statue of Liberty are Valid Anymore. Maybe they made sense when Irish Peasants were coming to America but... Now those people have Brown Skins and Doesn't that change everything? Yes, we welcome immigrants from White Countries like Slovenia but... People that don't speak English? NO! Walk South... That's what CZAR Donald the First Recommends. CRAZY. What we should be doing is welcoming immigrants and helping them integrate into American Society. Help the find Jobs and places to live and teach their Children how to speak English... The SECOND Generation does very well in the USA. Witness the Success of the HMONG and Vietnamese. The Success of the Germans and the Poles. The Italians and the Puerto Ricans...
