Greetings.

If we look at it by our leadership, I guess it’s like Ottawa that the Queen picked, because of the changing of colours all the time.  But is Canada really beautiful, if we refer to the political colours?  Perhaps if we got along and decided to work together for the people of Canada, I guess we’d have a new race born, made of multiculturalism.  Wouldn’t that be nice?

You see now it’s winter.  Everything is white, perhaps representing seniors.  We also have them in politics too with gray hair, but I was told a long time ago that gray or white hair signifies intelligence and wisdom.  What colour is Canada?

Then comes spring, where everything is green - people getting ready to party in the summertime with the beautifulness of nature.  And then as we go through summer, the leaves start turning red.  Does this mean time out for the red?  But as we say, ‘the sky is the limit’.  It’s always blue, all over the world that makes it one world under blue.  No, we’re not referring to Conservatives, because the blues get the loose! 

But if we go back to red for a moment, are we not faced with two kinds of red – the forgotten First Nation people and those who turn red in the face because of that.  Is that what you call ‘Canada’? 

Again we find blue as the background for the Quebec flag and whiter than lilies are the lilies, representing purity.  So if blue is the background of the immensity of Quebec, why shorten the borders?  Why make it a partial blue?  And of course, we don’t want to forget the colour yellow and brown.  We could say NDP - not dangerous (partial) and what are we left with in calling Canada the ‘first nation’ as the envy of the world? 

Even last night at the so-called vote on gay marriages, no one showed up including the Prime Minister because you see, according to the paper, it could have been a very bad card for him, even with the religious leaders.  So there’s the proof that Mr. Harper is looking for possible votes, not conscience.

So what colour is Canada?  I see.  Now I know all you have to do is look at the Christmas tree!  Every colour is on it!  Big business for everyone throughout the world.  Isn’t Christmas beautiful? But many complain that it’s too commercial.  Everything is commercial!  If there’s no profit in it for the same people, then it’s not interesting.  And imagine banning religions from schools but allowing this Christmas moneymaking celebration to be the most important holiday of the year.  Next, I guess comes Canada Day?

Why don’t we have Christmas year-round?  Come on big boys - it would be good for business, at least once a month.  Perhaps we’d have no more crime.  The kids would be chasing Christmas trees.  Could you imagine what would happen to spring time with no more green?  So what colour is Canada?

Canada is somewhat like an angel food cake.  It has some little sprinkles of different colours where the background is white for purity, true love for each other.  (It’s my favorite cake, by the way).  Maybe the word ‘angel’ makes it beautiful.  Why don’t we start calling each other ‘angel’?  That would make it Christmas without trees!  And you’d never dare lust over an angel!  Then you would be carried from heart to heart, the true heart foundation where the sky would be no limit, for it has no limits, especially when you are happy.  All the gifts come flowing down just like the snowflakes.  Wisdom is like snowflakes ... never twice the same but always the same effect – pure, beautiful love in everyone’s heart.

Am I a dreamer - or a radical or a fanatic?  I think those ideas are better than anger, loneliness and waiting for death.  If such little lines draw such a big heart on your own, so why don’t you merge and yield to love?  After all, everyone is capable of teaching it, since everyone is looking for it.  So instead of looking for trouble, why don’t you look for love?  Look in the mirror if you’re alone and I guarantee you’ll smile.  That will be the proof of what I tell you.  So have yourself a very ‘Merry Everyday’, that Christmas will be with you always, as I am in spirit with you.  After all, did we write this for nothing?  I guess we had you in mind.  So thank you for reading and God bless you.
