SALISH SEA by Dana Lyons- Video

THE GREAT SALISH SEA by Dana Lyons
 https://www.facebook.com/SalishSeaMarineSanctuary/videos/656456104457411/

 This new music video is the signature piece of the album by the same name. It is a sequel to Dana's hit music video entitled "Salmon Come Home."

The Great Salish Sea is sung from the perspective of "Granny," the 104-year old matriarch of our bioregion's resident orcas. It highlights adverse changes to the underwater acoustic environment through the last century, in the context of visually stunning imagery and soulful lyrics.Enjoy! :)

The Truth about Canada- TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL!!

It's really sad and unnerving for many to know that the land we were raised on and the stories we were told in school, were not as we believed. There was a lot missing. Now the truth is out how will it change us, the people of Canada, how will it change Canada! Because we need BIG changes.

It sounds to me that so much work was done and is being done to help the survivors of the Residential schools and their families and children, but only time can heal many of these wounds.

Unfortunately, I am afraid that the people not directly affected will turn away. Everyone is so occupied with their own lives, work and climate issues ....so many issues....WILL CANADIANS LISTEN AND LEARN?  I pray they will. I have fears that the info will be stored and forgotten.

Like many of my dear things that are in storage, I want to get them and have them and enjoy them but I don't have the space or the money. With all this delicate personally deeply emotional and touching, gut wrenching material I pray it's well taken care of, and what is needed it taken and used and practiced so that atrocities like this never happen again.

I send love and light to everyone that worked on the project, all the survivors and their families. I am so sorry this happened to you. I am so angry that people could do such sick horrible things to children and families.

All those poor mothers and father who lost their children. I would die!! What would you do?

How would you feel if this happened to you?


This is the best question...because what would you do, knowing your child is imprisoned somewhere, learning things that you see as no value...and truthfully they weren't because as we all see, the invaders basically brought and developed skills to wipe out all the humans on the earth if we are not careful and make changes.

For what ever dark ignorant reasons that it happened, WE AS CANADIANS must teach our children about this very dark time in history, teach our children this is the real Canada and teach our children empathy, so that this never ever happens again and also so that they can continue to help other and themselves as it will be many many generations before healing can happen in any significant way.

And thus it is so very very important that this info is protected and organized and cared for in the manner it deserves. I pray that in the future some crazy maniac, like we just had as a PM, doesn't decide it's taking up to much space and delete....like the libraries he was destroying.

Terabytes of testimony: Digital database of residential school stories opens to the public

http://www.cbc.ca/radio/unreserved/opportunities-for-reconciliation-pop-up-in-unexpected-places-1.3294030/terabytes-of-testimony-digital-database-of-residential-school-stories-opens-to-the-public-1.3296657?cmp=abfb

 From the article linked here:
"You can't help but be moved when you hear elders cry. You can't help but be moved when you see parents and children try to fight their way through healing and reconciliation and coming to terms with some of the stuff that happened right inside their family."

(Ry Moran )He says doing this work has shaken him to the core and and made him reflect on his country's true history.

"I do believe that the country that we think we have or that we've been told we have — at least via the text books and the general Canadian narrative — really isn't the country that has actually existed," he said, calling the collection 'sobering.'

Residential Schools- Cultural Genocide and Assimilation

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2015/06/residential-schools-cultural-genocide.html 


I am sharing this song because I think the message is so powerful.  

"Teach Your Children"


You, who are on the road must have a code that you can live by.
And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of the tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix,the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Patricia was
located near latitude 17.6 North, longitude 105.5 West. Patricia is
now moving toward the north near 10 mph (17 km/h).  A turn toward
the north-northeast and a faster forward motion are expected later
today, with this motion continuing tonight and Saturday.  On the
forecast track, the center of Patricia should cross the coast in
the hurricane warning area late this afternoon or early this
evening.  After landfall, the center of Patricia is expected to move
quickly north-northeastward across western and northern Mexico.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 200 mph (325 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Patricia is a category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale.  Some fluctuations in intensity are possible
today, but Patricia is expected to remain an extremely dangerous
category 5 hurricane through landfall.  After landfall, Patricia is
forecast to rapidly weaken over the mountains of Mexico.  A NOAA
Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate Patricia
before landfall.

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 175 miles
(280 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 880 mb (25.99 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Hurricane conditions should reach the hurricane warning area
during the next several hours, with the worst conditions likely this
afternoon and this evening.  Tropical storm conditions are now
spreading across portions of the warning area. Preparations to
protect life and property should be rushed to completion.  Hurricane
conditions are possible in the hurricane watch area today.

RAINFALL:  Patricia is expected to produce total rainfall
accumulations of 8 to 12 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 20
inches, over the Mexican states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima,
Michoacan and Guerrero through Saturday.  These rains could produce
life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.

STORM SURGE:  An extremely dangerous storm surge is expected to
produce significant coastal flooding near and to the right of where
the center makes landfall.  Near the coast, the surge will be
accompanied by large and destructive waves.

SURF:  Swells generated by Patricia are already affecting portions
of the southern coast of Mexico, and will spread northwestward
during the next day or so.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.


NEXT ADVISORY
-------------
Next intermediate advisory at 100 PM CDT.
Next complete advisory at 400 PM CDT.

Hey WORLD- THIS IS OUR PRIME MINISTER!!

He's REAL, he's ALIVE, he can DANCE and he's funny!! Now he can breath NEW LIFE into Canada after Harper tried to squeeze the life of it !!

Hurray for our future!! Here's looking forward and sending love and light and positive energy that great things will happen. 

He said he will hope, I pray it's true and he will keep and improve on his promises. We need help with income and housing.


Trudeau commits to record investments in Canadian children and poverty reduction

https://www.liberal.ca/trudeau-commits-to-record-investments-in-canadian-children-and-poverty-reduction/

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-election-2015-justin-trudeau-affordable-housing-1.3220479
"Investing in social housing is much more than putting a roof over people's heads. It also creates stable, well-paid jobs that families can rely on," the Liberal leader said during his speech at the Alexandra Park Community Centre.

The community centre is a central hub for a neighbourhood in the midst of a revitalization project run by the Toronto Community Housing Corporation, which operates social housing projects in the city.
"We know that access to affordable and safe housing is part of the solution to many social issues, such as child poverty, student debt and our ability to help people with serious mental health issues and addiction."

I voted Green but so very happy that Trudeau is in and Harper is gone.








Sophie & Margaret- Beautiful Souls -on the Journey with Justin!

I love these ladies. Listening to them speak and reading about them, they are powerful souls to be reckoned with. I have huge respect for both but so much for Margaret, she has really been so much.

But Sophie to has had a full plate. Together they make such a strong foundation for Justin to draw from.

 I thought that before the election. For him to have grown up, dealing with the mental health issues faced by his mom, by the whole family,  could only make him more empathetic.

He is the supporting force we need in this country, he can turn the way we treat people with mental health issues around.  Let's pray the money goes where it's needed most.

My suggestions: 
More gardens, composting, popbottle greenhouses, green walls,
Shelters- How to build- sustainable- off the grid, cob houses,
Enough Food (Re:garden)
Edible Schoolyards
Food Forests
Solar
Art- lots of art
Apothecary
Teach children how to build and survive with out electricity, so they have the resources should
they need it. In process teach them how to live without fossil fuels.
Grounding-Health-Exercise-Yoga, Mediation, Nature


Canada has huge opportunities here and I am looking forward to the change.

Onwards ladies, Onwards Justin. Let's help the people who really need it and heal them and Canada at the same time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Gr%C3%A9goire


Well World, take a look,  we have some great kind wise souls in powerful positions to make change in the country.  Listen to these two lovely women speak. Together they will have great influence and that makes me happy and hopeful. I love that Sophie speaks 3 languages  (Wikipedia) Grégoire is fluent in French, English, and Spanish.



And Margaret- well she's a beautiful artist and I love her, people might want to label her but I think she is a wonderful soul that survived so much. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-politics-margaret-trudeau-neil-macdonald-1.3282894

Born Indigenous in this Country is a POLITICAL ACT!


Don't want to be the tip of the spear, AT LEAST be a PART of it!!

What would it be like to live alongside one of the shapers of human events, in their youth, before they transformed history? In Fractured Land, we follow Caleb Behn, a young Dene lawyer who may become one of this generation’s great leaders, if he can discover how to reconcile the fractures within himself, his community and the world around him, blending modern tools of the law with ancient wisdom. As 350.org founder, Bill McKibben, puts it, "Anyone who can throw a hatchet and sue you is a force to be reckoned with."

CANADA- THE WORLD IS WATCHING! #OCCUPY THE #VOTE

POWER TO THE PEOPLE #OCCUPYTHEVOTE

Do you know that a boy named Ali is DYING for DEMOCRACY, right NOW!! Many of you, the #YOUTH whom I hope to address here, may not remember #ArabSpring. I happened in 2011 and is an amazing time in history. The power of the people was put to the test.




Through the #Freedom of Social Media people were truly empowered and could organize and unite and take down dictators. We are facing a similar threat from Harper and he must be voted out to save Canada.

Democracy MUST prevail.
#Canada -the WORLD is WATCHING this #ELECTION2015

Watch this video and it will give you great incite into what is happening in this countries and why it's happening and the importance of it.  What happens there affects YOU! #TheButterflyEffect 




Arab Spring
http://www.forbes.com/sites/marnichan/2011/10/10/forget-wall-street-occupy-the-voting-booth/2/
From Forbes 2011
"And please, stop comparing #OWS to the Arab Spring. The protestors in Tunisia literally would have died, and are dying, to have what we have—a democracy. The next general election is November 8th.  No one should have the right to protest that didn’t exercise his or her right to vote."



Did you ever hear this Tedtalkx http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2011/05/rock-candy-revolution-tedxtalks.html

ROCK CANDY REVOLUTION- 
PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS!

This is a little video I made back in 2011 and I point out the POWER of Social Media, HOW IT LEVELS the playing field.



Watch this to know the dire straits we are facing if we turn our backs on #ClimateJustice



We must stop Bill #C51 and protect OUR #HUMANRIGHTS



If you care about Democracy & Freedom then you better make sure we have a government that RESPECTS our RIGHTS, PRIVACY, RIGHT TO PROTEST, #HUMANRIGHTS #SOCIALJUSTICE #WOMEN #GENDERJUSTICE #MIGRANTJUSTICE #ENVIRONMENT #SCIENTISTS #LIBRARIES #ART #FREEDOM #VOTE

#FloodTheSystem- Make Some FRACKING NOISE- VANCOUVER

MAKE SOME FRACKING NOISE, NO FRACKING, NO LNG, STOP THE LNG, SAVE LELU ISLAND, SAVE THE HOWE SOUND

This conference is a greenwashed sham. LNG lobbyists and our so-called leaders are inside pushing their financial agendas with no regard for frontline communities, indigenous sovereignty, or future generations,” said Allison Dixon of Rising Tide. 

“While the world is waking up to the climate crisis, BC LNG is far away from a just transition to a sustainable future.”

Clean Energy and Wild Salmon, Not LNG! Community groups, local residents and Indigenous land defenders take to the streets to protest the International LNG in BC Conference

Yesterday, Luutkudziiwus, a 600 member House Group of the Gitxsan Nation, announced that they will be filing a legal challenge over the BC regulatory permits awarded to the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline that would supply gas to the Petronas LNG plant on Lelu Island.

“Our Madii Lii territory is not to be played with by the province of BC in their LNG game. Clark’s LNG dream is a nightmare for us,” said Hereditary Chief Luutkudziiwus (Charlie Wright). “While she paints a shiny picture of LNG in their conference this week, the reality is that First Nations are being bulldozed, and we have had enough”.

Tsimshian land defenders, who have re-occupied their traditional territory of Lelu Island to protect Flora Banks from the Petronas LNG project, also spoke to the crowd.

“We are protecting Lelu Island, Flora Banks, and the Skeena River from the LNG plant that would destroy our salmon. Like my father, Chief Yahaan says: If you take away the fish, you take away the people,” said Joey Wesley, of the Gitwilgyoots Tribe of Lax Kw’alaams.

The noise demo was held as part of the #Flood the System grassroots mobilization, as communities across Canada and the United States are saying “no” to the root causes of the climate crisis in the lead-up to COP 21 in Paris.

Whoa- Is this my Canada?

Please Inform Yourself - as someone may be watching you...or has been.

This enlightening film will definitely have your attention. Don't Ignore It!

My favourite line from the movie
"Is there ginger in here?"  Time we all wake up!! And Speak Up! With our Vote!!

Let's paint the country green. 

It's truly the only thing that makes real sense.
