PARLIAMENT RETURNS

 The CANADIAN PARLIAMENT RETURNS for FALL Seating. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS is open for the Parliamentary members of the House today. Steve McKinnon the House Leader had his opening stating facts about the accomplishments and Agenda of the Liberal Party at the front entrance door of the House. 

QUESTION PERIOD to take place once again once they are seated at the House of Commons. PM Carney vs. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

It's back to business of politics people of Canada.

UPDATE: The Liberals are in MINORITY threshold and asked for collab ops or Collaboration from other Political Parties at the Parliament.

The only reason why the Parliamentary form of Government collaborate are in times of war, occasional Holiday parties, funerals, Sports (esp. Hockey against USA Team), Olympic Games, and the Trump Tariff Threat. 

They tackled the HOUSING once again. Are they affordable? If 3 bedrooms are $1,500/monthly that's what you call affordable. Everything over than amount specified is NOT AFFORDABLE or maybe they are affordable only for six months and out again from such houses or condos. Think of how low minimum wage per hour and compare the high prices of commodities: FOOD, CLOTHING, FURNITURE, HYDRO BILLS, MEDICAL BILLS (Medicines), Utility bills, etc.

Truth In Advertising

So many illusionist(s) now that it's really hard to pin point which is fake and genuine. However I think the basis of emphasis is on how fast your eyes can see the manipulation of magic and sense of optical illusions. Without grasp to details and without vision it's difficult for the viewer to see which is real and unreal. All in all everything 's a collaboration of light as it passed through your eyes.

Did you know that BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder? Actually no one knows how beautiful you are but yourself. Give some more SILVER to the mirror. Maybe they can do wonders for your image. The only way that can make somebody beautiful is when you GIVE. When you keep on taking,  no matter how beautiful you are you are still ugly by the minute of the day. 

POINT is when we cannot deny that there are several people who are really working so hard to make things right. They don't have the time to spend, rather their main attitude is to SELL not to give. Only then by selling they gain and deserve the fruit of their labor. It is also true in the main objective of advertising. They promote, they advertise and it's up to you whether you'll buy it or not. If you can't buy the product that they endorse then it's not for you to resort to sour- graping. Besides you are not a fox who cannot reach the grapes and then when you cannot reach it you blurted it's because they are sour anyway. Well people, BUY what you can only afford! Then be honest to say your money is not enough to buy expensive items. FGS! No need to tell about what the model is and who the model is for those product. Hay naku, it's not crabs I cooked. Prawns and shrimps with coconut milk and squash. Another viand with pork and green beans. Melon? Yeah cantaloupe for dessert. It refresh your brain. I know it's getting dry in your frontal lobe. Then maybe, maybe the earth is getting dry too.

There is nothing much to do because I've done it all today. Laundry's finished. I mopped the wood flooring, dishwashing is done. Oh my husband Lorne cooked supper this time. He grilled beef steak the way he wants it with lots of montreal steak spice. Steamed fresh corn, steamed green beans from the garden, and steamed potatoes also handpicked from the garden. Who would believe that the best veggies are harvested from the garden he nurtured almost everyday. He is not only blessed with a green thumb, he also has so much luck catching fish from the ocean. You may ask what happened to his day job. He still attends to his job everyday. But managing a complex is not a 24 hour work especially if the tenants are good and abide the rules of the village. So far everything's fine. Now he is busy cleaning fish once again for canning. This is the second or third time of the canning process. Great!

What to do now is to post the many green peas he gathered from the garden and I help him peeled them off one by one. You think only the green giant has them eh? Too much peas in a pod. Surely our winter will be  greener at supper time.

Lotsa Crabs!

The fishing village of Campbell River is popular for its salmon. hence it is called "Salmon Capital of Canada." Tourists, expats, people from all walks of life come and spend their holiday retreat here for exciting camping, hunting, boating, kayaking, boat race and fishing. Though it's known for the salmons that are abundant within its territorial water: ocean and rivers, some fishermen take pride with some other catch of the day. The BC waters is also rich in other marine life and one of these shellfish and crawlies of the Pacific ocean is the famous dungeness crabs. So big it is bigger than your platter. So up we go to the dockyard and find out what they have in store there.

Down to that slippery metal ladder. It was raining furiously, the ladder is wet and if you will not hold tight to the handrail you'll take a dive or had a fall down to that water. So take extra pre-caution, be careful when you go down that route to reach the store of  Mr. Bob's.

 More than hundreds of healthy, big sizes of these crabs as they tried to escape from their bins. Each crab measures at least more than 12 " with the claws stretched probably a whole crab measures 20 to 25 inches. Isn't that totally amazing? The price? depends on its weight. The vendor sold the crab for $7.25/lb


And here you are crabbys you'll be our supper. Good to the last bite though.
