Canada Day

Look at the stars on Canada Day
Shining so children can find their way
That big maple leaf
Can't cover their grief 
Still aching to find their home pathway

Those in high office have a lot of blood on their hands, I hope they burn in hell. Tom

The Pope says no apology is warranted. 44-million Americans support kidnapping children, hanging them in cages until they submit to sexual abuse, then kicking them out of the country and banning their return, as long as one first stands in front of a church waving a Bible around . . . . .

Yup. We’re wearing orange on Canada Day. A few cities have cancelled party and fireworks, I’m in the Capital, remains to be seen if they’ll cancel the main show. I am not alone in hoping the gov will invest in water instead of fireworks… Thank you for this! xomo

Although many 2021 celebrations have been curtailed out of modern respect for the thousands of kidnapped, abused, and murdered Native American children who failed to appreciate Christian "education", Queen Victoria also ran a programme to kidnap English & Welsh children to provide Canadian farmers with cheap "slave" labour equally abused and murdered.
