Official Lyrics of O Canada

O Canada

Our home and native land

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free

From far and wide,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Please "KEEP IT ON A HIGHER LEVEL" #thisismyvancouver

Just listening to some of the news out there, Please People I implore you to keep things on a higher level. Creating more negative energy will not do anything except make the negative energy GROW.

Stay on the higher level. Channel the energy into something positive. Art Therapy in the example of the "Wall of Love" or the "Kindness Flag Project."

Remember :  

DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU'D HAVE DO UNDO TO YOU
(If you did something terrible, would you want your family terrorized, ...sending hate mail and threatening these people is not going to solve anything)

Treat others as you wish to be treated.  
(We all make mistakes, no one is perfect, many people are challenged.. is it healthy to hurt & punish people who obviously have mental issues... making them give back for what they have done should be their punishments, but it must be done on a higher level, not by vigilantes, then you lower yourself to their level and show that you are challenged too! )

He who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones.
(Who doesn't live in a glass house?)

You have to keep in mind, the people who did this are "challenged", they have to be right? otherwise why would they have done this. We all make mistakes, sometimes terrible mistakes, but we have to take the the higher road and do not add to the terrible negative energy that created all this.

Please think about this carefully.  Watch the video I put on this page about Meditation- and Energy...they're super amazing. Think Martin Luther, Ghandi, all peaceful reactions to terrible things, we must emulate these actions.

Well this help us feel a little better. Way to go Smithy!

Post Riot Clean-up - Let's help Vancouver
https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=219286898091948
Today at 7:00am - Saturday at 10:00am


Update: Looks like crews have already begun cleaning up which should mean we will be good to go at any time tomorrow. VancouverPD will be contacted in the morning to confirm, pay attention to the event and twitter (@Vancouverclean)

* @vancouverclean - Tweet updates from the clean up! If anyone is there early or knows when the city is open and ready to be cleaned up tweet it so everyone knows!

Once the embarrassing rioting has ended in Vancouver let's all show the world what Vancouver is really about by helping rebuild and clean up so it is better than it was before.

If any city can bounce back from an embarrassment like this it is Vancouver!

Invite all of your friends! Let's see if we can get Vancouver looking like a new city by noon Thursday!

Things you will need:

Gloves
Garbage bags
Friends and family
Music?
Smiles and Canucks spirit

Police may not be ready to have people re enter the city - worried about continued looting etc. so lets start tentatively at 7am. It is very possible that will be postponed. I'm sure this group of people will be completely respectful and follow the orders of any officers.

If anyone out there knows me, I don't swear...I used to but when I had my child I did every thing I could to curb it. But really tonight takes the cake. Seriously what is wrong with people. Here in Vancouver, we may have issues, but we are not Eygpt, or some other place that need to demonstrate a serious wrong.

No, here a bunch of hooligans, take control of downtown and destroy and loot and act like total barbarians.

SHAME ON YOU! You have the WORSE karma ever now. And for your lack of intelligence you have been photographed and you will be busted. Not by anything I photographed as we left just after O Canada.



The evening started simple enough, I was debating whether to go down and take my kid and be part of history, but this is not the history I wanted to be apart of. This is not what I want to remember.

What happened to good sportsmanship. So Canucks lost. What is the deal here. Someone loses so you go out and burn bears, turn over cars and set fires and loot. Where is the logic. Was it the alcohol?

The whole thing is so shocking and upsetting. The thing is it was mainly young men. Really sad. What's wrong with you?

My kid is all upset and went to bed worried because someone she loves is out driving cab and we are worried about him. So much negative energy. You've really done Vancouver a disservice and yourself.


Anyways, for the beginning it was fun. My girl didn't even want to go, but I convinced her it would be fun. We walked all the way down, and got to where the barricades were but it was so full we just stayed for O Canada and got out of there.  But we got our face painted and she got some balloons and we saw lots of people having fun. 

You could tell it was off when they sang O Canada though, as hardly anyone was singing, not like I had seen on the news, it was jam packed and the energy was really high.

We slowly walked backed home. The police presence was really noticeable on Granville and there definitely was a weird vibe there and that is where the trouble did start.

Weird people. Spoiled people. People who have too much and create trouble and destroy things for what ???

I had to explain this all to my little girl. She wants to go downtown tomorrow and see what's left, she very upset about Chapters and for her little brain to comprende all this...what will she remember, ...not good stuff. Now what do you think of hockey.

What do I think,  you don't want to know. ...I'm just shaking my head. And saying prayers. What a waste, what a shame.
