OrderOfCanadaWithoutBorders

     Refugees stuck at our friendly neighbours border in Mexico, should be facilitated to come to Canada. Community Meetings could be held, or one farmer could figure out where they can be housed temporarily until we find out the needs and skills of the refugees, and move forward from there. Of course the Garden Party would like mostly growers and farmers, but all refugees are welcome.

     This might be a good time to open all Borders. It is a unsettled time in the world and with global warming there may be a lot more refugees, maybe even you. So the Garden Party International has passed a new Human Law. The Right to Move Freely across Borders to seek a peaceful life, without paperwork. Let the refugee choose. We know refugees are not leaving their home because they want to, but because they feel they must. Some of what is wrong in their countries, is caused by us from this country, Canadian mining industry, bananas, corporate foods, those are also needing more attention. So Refugees if you can make it to Garden Party Camp The Minister of Immigration, Self Government of Canada Without Walls, will show you how to survive inspite of Canadian customs.  Happy Turnaround Year!

PlasticCleanup

     Today, The Garden Party Minister of Fishy Things, is starting the next stage of plastic cleanup of the Frazer River and all tributaries leading to the Ocean, due to concerns that everyone should already know. All plastics, due to gravity, that are just left will work its way to the ocean as it breaks down. So, as not to add extra pollution in the clean up process by burning fossil fuels, the Minister will start the plastic clean up today within walking distance from camp on The Thompson River south of Hilltop Gardens Campsite just north of Spences Bridge. As the ground is(was) free from snow, and ground visibility is best this time of year, it is a good time to get started. Also the Minister gets exercise, a Sence of Accomplishment and is filling a desire to Clean Up All Water Ways, as to improve the lives of Fishy Things. The Garden Party Policy is; if you see a piece of plastic, no matter how small, Pick It Up, redirect its journey. Now of course the Fishy Minister expects that all pilgrims in BC will aid this action by doing like wise, as the Minister knows this is a rather big job for one to do, all help is appreciated. The Garden Party Public Purse is rather light at the moment, as many people after Xmas with credit cards are, but this form of entertainment is as yet untaxed and free, and can provide a small income for those that wish to climb out of the money hole of Xmas, however slow. This work, or pleasure, may help some to reacess and make greater efforts to stem the use of fossil fuel plastics, many that are made from what is called Dirty Oil. So, as soon as this snow melts, (which started falling after this announcement got started), the Minister will be walking the slopes leading into the Thompson River. Do your bit, lots of tiny little bits makes a big difference, and a big difference is expected for 2019.        

Gift

     Not that I Do not like Xmas, the joy and all that, and kindness spread around, but is this Xmas joy not a bit of a lie, or is it that all other less joyful days are a bit of a lie and in this day only people can feel joy?   There always is joy at Xmas, and sadness as well, many in refugee camps who could use a gift. They are all welcome to my camp, how about your camp, pilgrim ? Merry Xmas to all the refugees, campers, and land lords.

WorldBuyNothingDay

    Embrace it, Buy No pipelines, Buy No fossil fuels, Buy Nothing today, Sell No Tanks, Sell Nothing today, Take a holiday, Plant a Grapevine, slow global warming, help a refugee, meet your neighbours, have a nice day. Merry Buy Nothing Day!

     Start a Garden if you have not one already, eat, and cool the planet, cut down on fossil fuel use, and enjoy the bliss of weeding out talking heads, put your foot down and dig in, now or never, one big Garden Party, and green the planet, pick up a shovel all you gladiators, this race is for life, celebrations come when there is something to celebrate, pretend and make belief do not cut it when it comes to curiosity and imagination. Dig in!   

        

ArmsIndustryShutDown

     The communities that are involved with the Arms Industries need a concise clearly defined decision about the future of Arms manufacturing and export sales. The Garden Party of Canada welcomes the opportunity to give the Decision for a concise and quick end of The Arms Industry. Stop all sales, not only for Saudi Arabia, just get out of the Killing Business Completely. Saying we need the jobs is a sick joke. Workers should quit, they will all be laid off sooner than later. Do we not have brains enough? are we that stupid that we cannot find or make jobs that add to the improvement of life instead of jobs that add to the misery of others?  

      The Minister of Agriculture, And Garden Party Minister For More Unemployment have a few ideas of more productive occupations that need to be done, and clearly want an end of war like sensible people, that may take a while, but for the moment, the least we can do is stop adding to the refugee crisis. 

OilIndustryWelfare

     If one takes a view that the Oil Industry makes piles and piles of money if they are given the freedom to do so(as they have been doing for decades), it is reasonable to have the view that they would like to continue on the same golden path, as was heard stated by the Elected Preimier of Alberta, who followed up with cutting taxes(for the Oil industry but not the public) and saying that a billion and half gift from the Elected Prime Minister of Canada With Borders(walls), was just a beginning of rewards we must take out of the public purse for those poor homeless Oil Industry Barons. Since they(oil barons) have had record breaking profits for decades(not so much for grapes), while Albertans were getting fifty cents a barrel(Grapes were getting Fifty Dollars a barrel), all costs and losses should be on the Oil Industry including pipelines, and the clean up of 144,000(unofficial number) abandoned oil wells, sucked dry and left, expensive cleanup capping sealing job, costs will be Tens of thousands per well, they ran their business like they can do whatever they want, like, transfer ownership when wells are dry, thus transferring their responsibility. New owner(companies created for this purpose), of little resources takes over, takes out a few barrels, goes broke(as expected), and the puplic purse then must pays for clean up, lots of money. Wake up Alberta, the only pipe you are likely to get is from BC, of course filled with BC Bud. Just so all Industry workers can take a puff, relax, have a glass of BC wine, rethink what they did, and what they are going to do, Plant a grapevine? maybe, got to do something since the Fossil Fuel Industry is Over in Alberta, well almost over, one point six billon gift from the Fed Gov to soften the blow but peanuts to the trillions already gone. Investors are going to pot now. At least More and More Public Purse Donners, who do not write off taxes when they buy a pizza, are putting on the brakes, and some are really putting their foot down, Gardeners. Dig in.  

Getting Started

When you plant a tree you have done went ahead and started to slow global warming. You did, not your heros of high places, not your polititions, not your high priests of finance, not your powerful gladiators, you slowed global warming. Feels good, and, a living friend to talk with, discuss what next. You could talk to people as well, talk about how you feel about your good action, discuss what next, make another friend to work together with and tell the world how to do it.

real estate drop

     Speculation on buy low sell high housing along with buyers hiding their ill gotten gain on real estate and expecting to increase their golden pot while people are homeless, are going to get themselves smoked, the ballon is losing air fast and so are the realty who helped blow up the ballon for a share in the action, sales and prices are dropping, up is down today, they will be asking for tax write offs and bale outs just like the oil industry in Alberta. Business failures of Bad Ideas is a Good Idea. We can provide grape vine cuttings from Spences Bridge, present location of Garden Party Government, no wine(Alberta has it this year),  just doing our little part to help bale out people not buying and selling The Garden. Hoe Hoe Hoe the whole Garden is the gift, so too are all it's inhabitants , take care, love all.

AJobForAll

     The Minister For More Unemployment does not want to put everybody out of work, but the Minister knows that that, just might happen, and, after ten seconds of deep contemplation, has decided to put a stop to creating total Unemployment, due to possible extinction of the work force, due to too much work already done to reach humans goal of heaven on earth.  The human methods of achieving those golden goals seems as taking us all to the hotter darker place. The devil is in the details, visible to those who have eyes, so our Minister (who can see behind and in front, both sides and up and down) is now calling for full employment, and two jobs for everybody who has one. We are all now going to work together, supporting one another, (bankrupting some), on slowing down global warming, Garden Party Emergency Shovel Response.. This has been the policy of the Garden Party, Self Government of Canada Without Walls, (remember the rejected brick), since conception of ground up Government . Green the planet, the Minister For More Unemployment is handing out Jobs left and right, up and down for all refugees and everybody else sidelined, the willing, just before Xmas, it is hard job that may accompany some sacarfice, but somebody has to do it, what next, what picture do we want to look at, and feel good? Cover the planet green, and heal the rest in the process, that is next, many hands make the job light. Dig in.   

TalkingHeads

     How to not do it. It appears (though it may be a aberration) that qualified talking heads (knowing hands and feet are muffled) are finally pouring out warnings from every crevice that movements even greater than their well exercisized honeyed lips must be must be done (emphasized 'must be' repeated even thrice).  It would be good that hands and feet are in harmony with sweet words, but sweet or not, right action begets results, sweet results.  

ToLiberalParty

Canadians will always stand up for human rights, those are the words of the PM, but Canada continues to sell arms to anyone who has the money to buy them. Now the Garden Party Minister of Agriculture may be a bit slow, but, would like an explanation, of how does selling Arms stand up for human rights? When will the PM get up out of his high chair and stand up like the Canadians that he claims 'Always stand up for Human Rights'? Standing Up and Dig In, or get off the pot.. 

     Message to Liberal Party Members from the Minister of Agriculture for the Garden Party, Participatory Self Government of Canada Without Borders.    

FortSaintJohnEarthquake

     Site C Dam, according to a experienced and successful prospector and geologist, is being built across two  plates, it is a fault line that has not moved for a few centuries but has moved in the past. Fracking may have been the cause of the resent earthquake at Fort St John, magnitude 4.5, but whatever the cause, it's centre was a stones throw from Site C Dam, 20 to 40k. The reason given for extra costs of Site C is to establish a solid foundation for the Dam. There is no solid rock under the river where the Dam is being built, it is fractured broken unstable rock, this is what geologists from Site C Dam reported to our Garden Party Minister of Geology. The Minister, Leaveright, clearly states, that no geologist with a brain, could say that Site C Dam would ever be 100% safe. Besides the Fact that the Dam is being built for LNG Industry, Besides the Fact that the World is moving away from fossil. fuels and Must due to Climate Change from Global Warming, Besides the Fact, that we have an excess of Electricity and we do not need, or want the Dumb Mega Dam and we do not need or want more fracking and pipelines, even if it is true Canadians are the biggest wasters on the planet and our houses, those that have one, are full of stuff useless to our daily lives, we say Stop This Insanity of trying to increase yearly our waste to Grow The Economy.  Hardly the meaning of Economy. For who, and for what, are we doing all this, and what do we get, another day older and deeper in debt, best thing to do is quit, and pick up a shovel, see you on the farm.

MoreJobLosses

     The Minister For More Unemployment, the only politician who has kept all promises, promises more job losses for Canadians, the relatively cabbage size pay checks for auto industry workers in Ontario are being restructured to match the brussel sprout pay checks of Agricultural Workers. Without benefits.

     The Minister of Agriculture for The Garden Party is sending out invitations of all soon to be unemployed auto workers, soon to be unemployed military industry workers, and IKEA Junk sales people,  to a Garden Party this week in Spences Bridge, to put in posts for the new grape vines. The Minister figures that with minimum retraining, of how to live better with less, we will all benefit beyond expectations. Have A Nice Day!    

BanTheBomb

     Looks like banning the nuclear bomb has gone on the back burner, but as long as these bombs exist, they are a danger. It is one danger that if we somehow mobilize as people of common sense and take every action we can think about, we could force the our governments, the ones without Nuclear Weapons, to speak out and take peaceful actions against all Nations that have the Bomb. We can all take action in some form, from a personal boycott of goods coming from countries who have nuclear weapons, and also by refusing support in goods and services to those same countries. Look up which countries have them, take action, personal action, clubs, schools, non profit organizations, churches, political parties, whatever you can think of, and bring down the bomb, and stop making any more. It can be done, it needs to be done, so people, start your action today. A message from the Garden Party, putting Ban The Bomb on the front burner, and cooking it off in 2019. A uplift from the grass roots to prevent further damage now and in the future from something we can control while we work on the rest of the global mess. Dig in.          

NorthAfrica

    The Garden Party Minister of Agriculture, Self Government of Canada Without Borders, has just today received an invitation from The Garden Party Minister of Agriculture, Self Government  of North Africa to look at Agriculture practice in some semi desert areas. The Minister from Canada will have to get a passport to go to North Africa even if the Minister questions these ownership claims of Borders. And how much global warming fossil fuels get spent getting a passport, and paying for the service of all the processors and their fossil fuels to get to their work, printing out passports, cutting down forests for paperwork, when the Minister knows who he is and the Borders were made by claims, and all land claims are false, ask any butterfly. But at this time in space, the Minister of Agriculture will attempt to get a passport this winter, and is in the practice of austerity while raising funds to go to Africa. The Minister cannot turn down an invitation, even if it is in an Africain Desert.  So if you want to get rid of the Garden Party Minister of Agriculture and save waste paper, send your taxes directly to the Minister.   

DoNotBuyIt

      November 21st, monthly World Buy Nothing Day. Save everything, buy nothing. To celebrate this regular event, take a holiday from work, especially if your work is selling, and since soon nobody will buying, it is a day to leave your car parked, and start another regular event, Meet Your Neighbor Day. Perhaps people can discuss the insanity that is going on in this world, and bring it all to a peaceful conclusion. One positive outcome from one day of inaction a month results in one thirtieth of a reduction of insanity. One Thirtieth reduction of Planetary Genocide. One day is a start, and, One day, 100 Monkey Day, will be a new day. Bugs Day, Birds Day, Bears Day, Buy Nothing Day. Happy Holiday.  

Chapter One

     A different approach to stimulate action to address world problems on local and personal levels. It really is all the same place. That is what I will attempt to write about, an approach using Agriculture, go where it goes. Global Warming tops the list of problems, right now, changes are taking place in our environment around the world that are unpredictable, which will affect world food supplies, there will be crop failures and we should be able to respond to all our foods needs locally, and, hopefully have excess to provide for our extended family who have been hit by crop failures and who need help in readjusting to new weather changes wherever this is taking place. Right now, here in Canada, millions of acres of land under cultivation, and people in Canada are going hungry.  Agriculture can address, or slow down global warming and feed the world population done right. 

     This bring us to another problem that needs fixing. Toxins, not just the billions of gallons of herbicides and pesticides dumped on our earth, water and air, the waste from Industry, fossil fuels, this is a complete disrespect of resources and of our life sustaining planet, this can be addressed changing food production and distribution with Agriculture. Are we willing to be sensible and take on the task?     

ToneChange

    This is about my friend John E Currie, and where it goes nobody knows. John still manages to take care of himself at home, and for health reasons, he is stuck at home, his mind is...., let me put it this way, I visit him often, and it is the best mind I have ever met. He was raised by a mother with a Garden, a cook pot and a big heart, and, by a father with a carpenter's saw, who was a damaged veteran of World War One. John was a Merchant Mariner in WW2. I am still learning from John every time I see him without fail. But he is getting old, and he is often lonely for good company, I am sure he would appreciate visits from some of the many people he has crossed paths with over his many years spend on BC's Coast. I am sure a lot of friends would go to his funeral, he might even delay paradise if he saw more people before that day, I am sure he would prefer to see friends while he is alive. I know he won't yell at you if you do not show up at his funeral, but right now, he can yell if necessary. I am going in a couple of days to visit John, for a couple of days. Most of the work I wanted to get done on the farm before freeze up and snow, is done, there is some snow and rain weather in the forecast, so for a few days I will be off the farm in SB and see John. He lives in the last house left side on Diamond St in Harrison Hot Springs, drop in any time. To be continued, Louis Lesosky.
