  • November Photo Album

    Here’s a link to the album

    This past month:

    X-Tine comes to visit and we did some cool shit

    Pat kills a deer and we have a fun family afternoon at Paul’s butchering it up

    Fox and I fly to Calgary for a few days  (his first time on an airplane!)

    I flesh and boil the head of Pat’s buck, preparing it for a European mount

    General Fox cuteness

    We visit Salt Spring Island for a whole weekend with Uncle Brock, Marianna, Jenny and Aunt Lori

  • Stephen Harper is supposed to have been impeached as the Prime Minister of Canada

    He cheated BIG TIME in both elections.

    Understanding that it is 100% in the collective best interest to:

    1. Actually have scientific data available for future use.

    2. Have strong social programs that support veterans, students, patients, seniors, those born with illness etc.

    3. Protect citizen rights and freedom.

    4. Not support industry that uses slave labor in place of local jobs.

    5. Support a national effort to ween society OFF Of those products.

    6. Strengthen environmental protection (which we need more than anything. Because according to thousands of peer-reviewed science and fact-based evidence, climate change is fucking up the weather FOR EVERYONE)

    Enough pain and suffering.

    Understand that it’s no mystery anymore how to achieve the global arrival at happiness and peace for all living things on our planet. We need to stop what we’ve been doing, and change it. Otherwise, human life on Earth will cease. We must actually give a shit about our future generations. The technology is there already. All of it.

    Q: Where will we ever get the money to do all that, Ashta?  A: By halting the subsidies that are given to harmful practises, which is in the billions of billions of billions of dollars. Oh, and not “misplace” billions like the conservatives have done. They’ve lied, cheated, stolen, and hurt enough.

    Someone I know said, “If not Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, than who?” My answer would be: anyone who’s willing to unabashedly make all that stuff a reality.  Likely that’s the Green Party.

  • Black Friday

    Low-cost, cheap, poorly-made junk is made from fossil fuel products…by slaves. Especially Chinese products.

    Workers aren’t paid fair wages, and their quality of life is dismal. If these global free-trade agreements were not allowed in the first place, more local jobs would be available closer to home. Never forget that free-trade = slave labour.

    Wal-Mart’s profit last year was 120 BILLION dollars. That money did not go towards improving any situation for the suffering it cost. It went into the pockets of families who are already so disgustingly wealthy, keeping them in the lives they’re accustomed to (unfathomably celebrated in mainstream culture).

    Please keep these things in mind when you’re making choices on what to spend your money on this gift-giving season. Every dollar you spend is a vote for the practices, products, and reality of how that thing came into existence.

    Voting for the destructive, harmful, and unhealthy situations for our sisters and brothers on the other side of our home (Earth) means we’re helping to perpetuate bad energy that always come back to us eventually.

    Please don’t vote for slavery, plastics, and green house emissions. Try as hard and dilligently as you can to find locally-made products and avoid purchasing anything that is ultimately not needed.
    Is it for looks? Conversation? Novelty? Convenience? Is it “such a great deal” that you simply can’t resist? You/they probably don’t need it. DON’T BUY IT!

    Not enough people know about what a “good deal” really means. It may be a “good deal” for the amount of dollars you’re voting with, but be assured it’s a disgusting and horrible deal for every link in between. And it is coming back to bite us all in the ass eventually.
