Cherry blossoms, Tourism and Bob Marley

The cherry blossoms are out in Vancouver. Whenever you see the cherry blossoms bloom, you know spring is here. This year when I see the cherry blossoms it just feels like everything's going to be OK. Summer is coming. Seasons change, the world keeps spinning and everything's alright. Kind of like that line from the song No Woman no cry. 

Tyrants rise and fall. The pendulum swings from the left to right and back again. Just because Trump has jumped too far to the extreme, that doesn't mean Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were right because they weren't. 

The Democrats didn't even have a primary. They waited until the last minute and humiliated Biden in that debate. Then they all pretended to be surprised and slipped Kamala in without an election. They didn't let RFK run because they had an Agenda.

The same thing in Canada. The Liberals wouldn't let Ruby Dhalla run. Ruby saw what has happened just like Tara Henley. When Tara Henley started working for the CBC she was considered a Liberal. She was left of centre. 

Now she is considered right wing. Her position hasn't changed the CBC's position has. The CBC is far left now. The same thing with the Liberal party and the Democrats. 

Now the Liberal party is far left. Ruby Dhalla wanted to bring the party back to left of centre but they wouldn't let her. They hand picked Mark Carney to take Justin Trudeau's place because he was far left just like his BFF Chrystia Freeland. When the fake news said Mark Carney was more right wing they lied. He's not. 

Ruby Dhalla was more right wing. Left of centre. Mark Carney is still far left. Nothing has changed. That's the problem. We just need to balance the extremes. 

We don't need to go from reckless spending to reckless cuts. We don't need to go from mass illegal immigrating to hunting down migrants and throwing them in prison. 

6AK_TV reposted a funny comment on X. It said "MFs be like NO MORE IMMIGRANTS And then marry one. Cc: Trump, Vance, Poilievre" That is so true. Trump married a migrant. So did Vance and Poilevre. We really need to rise above all this migrant hate because it is a manufactured condition.

As I said, I don't even like this Canada First copy cat slogan. It's the me first drive of selfishness. What about Gaza? I care about Gaza? What about the Ukraine? I care about the Ukraine. We never should have created that conflict. During the First and Second World war we weren't going around shouting Canada first. People needed our help and we helped them. That's a Christian principle but all religions share that golden rule.

We've heard the term Christian service. In the parable of the sheep and the goats, Christ was very clear about the importance of serving the poor. So now we're going to throw that all away and embrace secular selfishness. That's pretty shallow.

So the world is still turning and the cherry blossoms are in bloom. In Vancouver they have a cherry blossom festival where they light up some cherry blossoms at night. Sounds like a new gimmick. There are cherry blossoms all over Metro Vancouver. I live in an old dive and it's full of cherry blossom trees.

When I see them bloom it makes me feel that everything's gonna be alright. I really enjoyed Caribbean food and music. I also like many other ethnic communities. Diversity makes us strong. All this hate diminishes us and makes us miserable. Bob Marley one love. We still want to promote tourism. Tourism helps our economy. In Canada we don't lock tourists in jail.
