    Growing up in Canada gives us a predisposition toward a Creator who would want to save everybody....... eventually!

    Must have flown right over my head. I am anything but predisposed. And I'm not up for saving "everybody" either. Give em a chance, okay, but there are limits.

    I could be wrong... I often am... but being Canadian tended me to take even Leviticus 16 verse ten to the extreme.... that even "Azazel' can repent and return to his Creator.......

    "but the goat on which the lot fell for Aza'zel shall be presented alive before the LORD
    to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness
    to Aza'zel." (Leviticus 16:10)

    .
    Well now. THAT has an interesting conflict. It has a part that goes "in all our languages" (as if we are going to humour those who speak punjabi or mandarin, etc) and then immediately switching to speaking in french then back to english.

    Its like saying, Hi minoritiy languages who arent french, we see you, but the french minority language is better than you.

    I just saw it as the film creators honoring the two official languages - not disparaging the others spoken by the multitude of lands from which so many Canadians originated.

    We can get quite animated. Especially in a drinking establishments while watching the Good Ol' Hockey Game.

    Deliberate. The minority french language is "better" in so far as it is one of our two founding languages. We have a bilingual federal government and one official bilingual province. (and its not Quebec). any citizen can demand trial or federal government service in language of their choice of the two. none other.

    But the mention of other languages is a tip o the hat to multiculturalism. In Toronto, you can get all kinds of services in dozens of languages. Banks are particularly good at it around here.

    You are allowed to go to bars with COVID? Sounds like some place out of Fantasia.

    Dr. Moses Coady did a work in my part of the world a century ago that has me thinking that the concept of Eventual Universal Salvation can even be applied in terms of economics, job creation, health care, higher level education and yes..... even a B.M.I?

    I bet you would not think though that I would consider that Albertans might just be in the Drivers Seat when it comes to a possible method where the Private Sector might just be able to put this together??????

    I do believe that the Canadian tendency for all of us all over the political spectrum to be able to at least have a civil debate or discussion with each other sets us up to propose dealing with the threat of Civil War in the USA.......
    from the vantage point of the two cities of Edmonton and Calgary Alberta......... and actually in two large circles of one hundred and fifty miles (241 kilometers ), in diameter so that we can have a significant area of overlap / intersection.

    Kevin J Johnston Mayor-elect





    In a sentence what I mean by all of this is that Albertans who lean NDP or Liberal or politically left can play the role of Democrats and Albertans who lean Conservative or PPC or toward Albertan Independence or politically right can play the role of American Republicans and thus put out films meant to address the huge political division that is happening in the USA over the last four months?!

    I am NOT saying that this will be easy to put together though!!!!???

    Don Cherry could really help this to work if he is available?!
