What's Up?

Atlas! The euphoria of the election campaign is over. Casting of votes is over! The winners were then given the seats of power at the House of Commons - Canadian Parliament. The winner is the Liberal Minority Party with PM Justin Trudeau as the PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA (second term) 157 SEATS. However, by popular votes, the winners are the Conservative Party under the leadership of Min. Andrew Scheer, with 121 SEATS. BQ Party under the leadership of Yves Blanchett, 32 SEATS. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, 24 SEATS. Green Party leader Elizabeth May, 3 SEATS at the Parliament. One (1) seat for Independent Party leader Jody Wilson Raybould. Max Bernier of the People's Party loses his seat.

I know, you think that's confusing eh? It's different here in Canada. National & Federal Election varied greatly, different from the elections in Philippines and United States of America. In the U.S. there are votes to be determined in Popular Votes (Votes from the People, US Citizens) then the Electoral Votes (Supreme Court Judges cast in their votes) . Whoever wins the Electoral Votes became the President. In Philippines whoever garnered the most votes (by the number of votes) became the President.

There are hardworking government officials who were unseated such as Lisa Raitt and Ralph Goodale. I wonder why. You don't punish government officials who are good in doing their jobs.

Whatever. Maybe I am clueless of what's really happening in Canadian government. Maybe my radar when it comes to political news is not enough. I need more satellites!!

So, what's next? Promises are promises and not to be broken. I think the Canadians must be always alert, vigilant, always watchful and keen observant about their part in global economy when things are not added up or they sense something is weird or if they are confused of what's happening in they environment they have to question, ask questions. Secrecy is a thing of the past and if we are to move forward we must be honest, transparent, and reliable and responsible. STOP HOLDING YOUR SECRET! It's year 2019. Wasting time is not in our mind. Solving problems that need solution right away and for what? To work and serve in the Government is not a publicity stunt so keep on working. WORK. WORK. Work without pay is ok for as long as it is for the good cause.

FINISHED, reading Wilbur Smith's novel GHOST FIRE. Now I know what Ghost Fire means.
409 pages of a book is such a very long novel to read. I enjoyed the incredible adventure of Theo Courtney from Madras India to Boston, into the wilds. Lots of dramatic sequences, action-packed, the struggles, obstacles, the fight, life and death terrifying experiences, vivid memories of such incredible ordeals are almost real and surreal. Once again the almost real, almost historical graphic details of the Courtney's life drama was brought carefully to its magnanimous, epic saga by one of the most fabulous, famous, eloquent, prolific writer Wilbur Smith. You should read his novel to increase your vocabulary and extend your knowledge on what war is all about and what is worth fighting for. That's right... WHAT IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR?
