3 measures in the upcoming Canadian federal budget

Canada had Canadian tech companies in the 80s but Mulroney then the Liberals did not support them, choosing American solutions instead. Then the Canadian firms were gobbled up by Americans who then gutted or relocated them to the US.

Helps distract people from seeing they are vulnerable, powerless creatures faced with inexorably approaching obliteration (death). Insignificance.
Scary stuff, so awareness and consciousness shrink to avoid seeing too much. Build up lies and play make believe, ignore reality.

Like individuals and corporations piling up debt, lines of credit and using credit cards.
Depending today on future money, always trying to shift it away.
Somehow it's ok for countries to do that, they get a pass.

Nessie... either plesiosaurs live for centuries like old turtles and she must be lonely or there are generations of plesiosaurs living in the loch, almost never surfacing. Neither makes sense.
Loony idea, maybe there's a giant cave to the Underworld or to Inner Earth deep below the surface? 🤪

My parents took me to see them when they came to the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. I was a kid, felt the music was boring but the funky dancing was entertaining.

On Prime?
I loved the novels until Anne Rice went a bit overboard with the mummy queen etc.
Loved the pageantry and acting in the movies, well done.

Cultists are so smug when they lie, like evangelists or scientologists trying to recruit new people. No hesitation, no self doubt, only certainty and simplistic beliefs ignoring reality. Convinced their lying will save them from despair, suffering and death. "Good things come to good people."

Making people submit tax returns when Canada Revenue Agency could have been granted access to all investment and health data never made sense to me. South Korea calculates taxes automatically.
