A Canadian Banker

If I recall correctly from past Internet research, it was a Canadian banker who was one of the most prominent promoters of gay marriage in the Canadian Parliament not too many years ago!? The man wasn't speaking for his bank but had gone into politics, I believe. And he brought out some good points, which I won't explain here at this time. *** Just find it interesting to make these connections now!

The U.S.S.S. and Bankers

The United States Secret Service began with financial and banking concerns; and some bankers--maybe the major ones--have been somewhat aware of the U.S.S.S. involvement in the gay rights project, it seems. *** Have been acquainted with a former banker, myself, but I've unfortunately heard different rumours which didn't make me feel better! He has allegedly been involved at several levels of the gay rights project; and I'm not sure he's hoping for a positive outcome--or if he's one who wants to close things down without acknowledging the past activities and concerns!? Will be working on these issues.... [This will be a serious issue, since this person was given a lot of authority, I've heard. And I can take steps to do my own publicity....] *** There's a good movie which I always enjoyed seeing, ever since the first time I saw it. Have I mentioned "Shawshank Redemption" 1994, in this blog? It's a story about a "mild-mannered" banker who was falsely accused and sent to prison! It's quite interesting! [And the story of "mild-mannered" men is another issue...!] *** Unfortunately, my computer time is limited today, as it often is. [Will work on that matter also.]

The "Nurse Hollywoods"

Wherever there are doctors, there are usually nurses!? And if there's a "Doc Hollywood," it's fairly sure there are "Nurse Hollywoods" [how many?]! It's too bad they're not all knowledgeable about the matter, however! Or they may have a little knowledge [and it's not always a good thing]! Well, we're trying to make progress, somehow!?

Professional Wrongdoing and Inappropriate Behaviour Isn't Acceptable

The real-life "Doc Hollywood" person whom I've first written about was never directly involved in my medical/psychiatric care. There are other doctors and professionals, however, who want to associate themselves with the fictional "Finian," at times, and I think they should be careful regarding their own professional qualifications! Should these people be allowed to get away with wrong-doing and accusing me falsely--just for the sake of a show and the gay rights project!? They seem to be on thin ice, in my view; and I'm not referring to my interests but to theirs! *** Well, we'll be hashing out some matters in the near future. And a legal process is a constructive way to handle disagreements, for sure! [For the record, I've had many kinds of professional people to deal with--some more often than others!...]

Landlord/Tenant Issue--once more [Part 2]

EVICTION OR AGREEMENT? Did I actually get evicted because of tobacco smoke? No. And technically, I wasn't evicted but made an agreement with my landlord to move out. However, the agreement was made with the real possibility of an eviction order being granted.--I was under duress, or whatever; and I was more or less evicted. [For the record, it wasn't clear what ruling might have been given but there was a good probability of an official eviction--a 50/50 chance, at least. The fact was I made an agreement; and the housing documents showed that it was what happened. My case also would have been less flexible in the future if I'd been legally evicted. There would have been less chance of an appeal, although I wasn't aware at the time.] *** When I was studying about law school a while ago, I heard that "contract law" was the most complicated area of law! And I've since seen that there can be many, many problems which come up even in what seem to be simple transactions!

Landlord/Tenant Issue--once more!

TOBACCO SMOKE. Have I left out the part where a guest of mine was smoking* in my apartment--once? Yes, it was claimed by my landlady that smoking was a problem! But do people get evicted for causing one problem, one time? Or is there an opportunity for correction and forgiveness? There was supposed to be! My landlady claimed that my guest went to the yard to smoke later--maybe one other time?--and that smoke came in through her windows. However, she could have told me about it but failed to do so! [It's interesting that some people just want to complain to authorities without giving people a chance to respond or make corrections!?] *** The smoking was a very minor matter, in my opinion, considering that it happened so briefly. Normally, I don't care for tobacco smoke and I'm aware it's not healthy. [But you can't always cut people off.--Although since then, I've decided to be more health-conscious and to demand it from friends in my home.] *** *The guest sat beside an open window in the summertime.--That's why it didn't bother me so much personally, at the time.

Aiming High--and Higher

Have seen evidence that a nurses' association has supported the "Queen lady." The "Queen" actually wasn't a qualified nurse--only an aide. [I have a sister and close cousin who are registered nurses.] If the nurses want to support gay rights, that's fine. *** In 2005/2006, I told my friend about the movie issues. And I even sent her a copy of one called "Road to Perdition," 2002. Don't have time to explain all the details right now but I believe it's relevant.--And it's not that we have to be threatening hellfire and damnation around the moral issues! But I guess someone had a negative view of some relevant activities!?--And they gave out certain details. My friend had mentioned something to me this year about how she'd like to be able to afford a newer vehicle--for a change. [Their house has already been improved--if I may say so.] And this lady is a country person! She has done well to be a "pioneer"--with improvements to their property, over time. *** When my friend's family and friends were in the process of getting started with their "back to the land" activities, they read a famous quotation in a book which said something to the effect that if you "build a better mousetrap," the world will come to you--even if you're living in the woods! And in this lady's case, I think people would almost have to meet her where she is--and she wouldn't be capable of going much further!? [With or without a new vehicle.] I've known this lady for many years--for decades. [Maybe she's had things to say about me!?--Okay.] *** This lady isn't educated or sophisticated in any sense. Am sorry. And it seems the Quebec Italians [police] have gone through northern Ontario [up the Ottawa River and across to North Bay...]. Then some southern Ontario police have helped them--with secondhand information, etc. The really smart police are the ones who help the Americans--the smart Americans! [And they haven't wanted to expose what they were doing, so far.--Not very much.] *** Anyway, there's still a lot to sort out...! [We'll get there--I hope so!] Some parties were aware of a few million dollars which had been given or promised to someone. And I'm not sure if some parties were fighting over it!? But those few millions are peanuts, I'm sure! This isn't a million-dollar matter but closer to a billion-dollar one, I believe. [Not that any individual will necessarily collect a billion dollars.--Then again, you never know!?] And somebody may collect money for a new vehicle plus some more to spare.--But it's not what I'm aiming for! [There's a lot more at stake, financially and otherwise.--That's my firm belief.]

What Kind of "Poster Girls"?--II

There's another movie about women dancing which came out within the past year or so. From my side, I can say I didn't ask for or approve of this kind of thing. And it comes back to the concept of understanding the difference between fiction and reality; and some people may express their views and opinions--according to their view of life--and it may be their right to do so!? If there's actual libel, in a legal sense, then it would be dealt with by legal means. [Some of us haven't had a lot of money for courts and lawyers; and publicity is another means of making change.] *** The bottom line is: Don't blame me for every kind of film/TV show that's produced! [And don't blame the other "poster girl."--I hope not!?] *** Also, if Christian people have approved of a project with Hollywood, they're going to have to allow the film people to do their work! [None of us needs to be in the dark about what kind of work they normally do.] And the truth and error will be sorted out, in time, if necessary. *** [Have stated I didn't especially care for the Chicago film.--And the truth is I watched a lot of it in the Fast Forward "SEARCH" mode.--I didn't listen to all the conversation or watch all the dancing! But I have my own copy, which I bought on sale; and it's often as cheap to buy copies as to rent them!--Then I can look back, if necessary, or use them for evidence to show others. In the case of the other film, I haven't seen it at all and haven't planned to. It also hasn't been very popular with the public, it seems.--Maybe somewhat.]

What Kind of "Poster Girls"?

Will try to make some comments within a limited amount of Internet time. Have made an effort to defend the "Queen lady" to media sources, as far as saying that many film stories have been greatly exaggerated. Also, I've said that we've more or less been friends over the years [off and on]. After this woman's second marriage, she and her husband moved to a country location to do "back to the land" living. The concept interested me since another family from my church had previously moved away to build their own log home [not a commercial one]; and they had none of the modern conveniences--no hydro or automatic plumbing. It was also somewhat of a community project and other church members went to assist if they were able to. [And after my first year of college, I travelled around Europe and was privileged to visit a large organic farm.--It was very educational and was an amazing experience.] *** The above woman was a young widow when she first came to my home town. I believe she had wanted to earn some extra money by being involved in the gay rights project. *** Have commented to my business sources numerous times that this lady and myself were like "poster girls" for the gay rights project. [It wasn't my choice!] And maybe it's time to acknowledge it!? It's a story [even if a false one] which has been told to the public and to some Christians. I believe it was somewhat of a cover for the real activities that were going on. *** Have to say that some chiefs of police have apparently promoted the "sister" story!? And they seemed to believe in it!? But no, I'm sorry the stories were only promotional.--They weren't based in reality. [The stories were promoting the gay rights project.] *** There's a movie, Chicago, 2002, which tells about two female performers.--Two criminal performers, whatever. It's a show about dancing and it's not my usual taste. [And it may be somewhat based on a true story--a different one--if I recall, but I believe it points to the above matter.] It also seems that the Chicago Police have sometimes been telling what the Canadian and "Metropolitan Police" have been doing!?--The Chicago Police have had connections to the film industry!

"The Irish Boy"--update

May have mentioned earlier that the "Irish boy" has apparently been living in a northern part of this province--relatively far away from the main population. And it seems he has been there for a long time. If the parties really wanted him to be involved, would they have let him go there [or sent him]??? No, I believe it was convenient for the gay rights project that this man was out of the way. And they didn't especially want him to be involved--although he was apparently given some kind of authority!? *** Myself, it's not that I have anything against him. I don't think people should speak bad things about him; but I also understand why some parties wanted to keep him at a distance. And maybe he has mostly done enough? Anyway, I don't know if it's possible for him to get a handle on everything when he lives in an isolated area and hasn't seemed to make the rights efforts to get connected!? *** Will write something separately about the "Queen Lady." [And apparently, the "Irish boy" and/or his associates have continued to promote her.]
