Many reach their older years and begin slowing down, often by choice because, that's what you do when you get older, right??? Not if farmers I know, horse owners I know, and others who remain very active into their older years have anything to say on the matter. The notion that after a certain milestone, it's time to slow down, is a bunch of crock that is damaging and shortening many lives.

My focus is wholefood as medicine that might grow outside your front door, but guess what? Going out to get that wild-grown food takes time, effort, and action to do. But again, you're getting fresher air than staying indoors, getting exercise, benefiting from getting your hands dirty (literally, just ask any dedicated gardener about their overall health) and you're getting free food and medicine that lowers your older years' expenses that mainstream medicine might try to thrust on you! Maybe you're a brown thumb like me and can't garden because you kill everything. But you can harvest what God grows out there and eat better than visiting the produce section at the store AND stay out of the pharmacy at the same time. Your physical and financial health both benefit here.

One of my quirks, is that I love spiders, regularly make friends with yellow jackets, will toss stink bugs outside if I find them in the house (like just two days ago, in December, here in the Okanagan!!!) and only hang fly tape when too many house flies move in or the fruit flies come out. One year when my son was just a baby and my daughter was not yet born, the bedroom window did not have a screen. An orb weaver spider created a web across that window, and all summer long, not a single bug got into that room! The spider got big and fat and I was sad to see her go when the cold weather hit.

My daughter bought me some "Christmas spiders" as we call them, during halloween season one year. As much as I hate that holiday, commercially-speaking it's the only time of year when we find decent spider decorations. Most of the time we don't buy them, but a couple years ago, Ashley bought me a set of spiders to put up at Christmastime. Their colours were too cheery for halloween, but that's when they were set out for purchase. This year, I had a little fun with one, making it look like she was trying to help me decorate and got tangled in the garland.

Every time I see a spider, I am reminded of the verse in Proverbs where Solomon observes them even living in the palace. I hope this Christmas spider's attempt at decorating brings you a smile as it does me.

Merry Christmas!

Celebrities with distant Canadian roots set to gain citizenship under new Liberal law!

A group of well-known American public figures, including singer Madonna and former U.S. secretary of state Hillary Clinton, would become eligible to be considered Canadian citizens under a federal law passed last month that removes long-standing limits on citizenship by descent.

Bill C-3, adopted on November 20, eliminates the “first-generation limit,” a restriction introduced in 2009 that prevented Canadian citizenship from being passed to children born abroad if their Canadian parent was also born outside the country.

Canadian patriot informed that he cannot display Canada flag outside Toronto City Hall!

Canadian patriot Scott Youmans visited the site a few days ago, brandishing a Canadian flag. Incredibly, it did not go well. Which is to say, a city hall security guard informed him that the display of ANY flag, including the Maple Leaf, is verboten.

Jewish charity loses status following Palestine activist pressure!

A third Jewish charity has lost its charitable status in a move its director says was driven by “outside complaints” and not any wrongdoing or misconduct.

Magen Herut Canada Charitable Foundation, a tiny volunteer-run organization, became the latest target of anti-Israel activists after sending volunteers to patrol near anti-Israel encampments at the University of Toronto last year.

Carney's plan for unlimited chain migration


To our fellow proud Canadian,


Canada’s government has just made unlimited chain migration an official policy with the removal of long-standing checks and balances from Canadian citizenship with the introduction of Bill C-3.


Under these changes, anyone born outside of the country can now claim Canadian citizenship if their parents spent just over 1095 days in Canada. They’re calling this a “substantial connection to Canada.” This is not a substantial connection, this is less time than it takes to finish a Bachelors degree. With Bill C-3’s logic, anyone that comes to study in Canada for 4 years and then gets citizenship in the process, can just pass it down to their children, and then their children can pass it down again.

Even if their connection to Canada is minimal and temporary. Opening the door for endless intergenerational chain migration, with no clear way to track who will be eligible in the future or how many newcomers will be added to our already strained system.

This is dangerous.

The government has removed multiple sets of barriers. Now there is no English or French literacy requirement for new citizens, risking long-term integration for newcomers. No more mandatory security checks to ensure the safety of our country. No citizenship test required to ensure basic knowledge of our country. No meaningful requirement for residency, just three years at any time before a child’s birth abroad.

This is a phenomenon many have coined “Canadians of Convenience." We are de-valuing our citizenship to the point where anyone can just have it. The requirements to become a naturalized citizen are dangerously low. Someone can come to Canada, return to their home country, have children, and then all move back when it’s convenient to them.

That’s not citizenship. It’s a back-up plan.

Being a Canadian citizen and having access to the services afforded to citizens should mean active integration and participation in Canadian society. The removal of the first generation limitation is completely disrespectful to the thousands of immigration who worked hard for their citizenship. Now you can be born into it after your parents spend only three years here.

Many Canadians have spent their entire lives contributing to Canada, and three years is the threshold for citizenship benefits for the generations after you. It’s disrespectful.

Canadians deserve better. If you believe Canadian citizenship should be something. If you believe in responsible, secure, and fair immigration, stand with us. Here at Canada Proud we are working towards a better Canada, a strong Canada.

A Canada that puts Canadians first.

All opposition parties reject Carney’s first budget as costly, directionless, and out of touch!
Conservatives: “biggest budget outside of covid”
Bloc Québécois: “a discriminatory, unserious budget”
NDP: “mixed budget, wrong priorities”
Greens: “my grandchildren lose”
