Suicide Is Not “PAINLESS”

Christmas will never exist in my life after this year.
My son, Delaney Jordan, committed suicide yesterday. December 25th, 2019.
Left to Right:Me,Jordan,Randy
Left to Right: Jordan, Randy and I.
He and his wife, Katelyn, decided to relocate from Toronto, Ontario to Black Diamond, Alberta.
They had made the decision to start a new life in a new province with new friends.
Alberta was not good to them at all. When they first arrived they did their best to try and secure employment. Kate succeeded by finding a part time job at a subway sandwich shop.
Social Services absolutely refused to help them in any way. Even at Christmas.
They were actually quite rude to both Katelyn and Jordan.
This led to depression for both of them. They could not believe that a government agency could care less that they were homeless and possibly going to freeze to death on the street.
They had made plans to scrimp and save until they had enough to return to their native Toronto. Perhaps to start a new life here or where ever. 
My baby boy had troubles with depression and anxiety most his life. From about the age of six or seven.
To make a long story short, at that age he was very intelligent, Grading 142 on his I.Q. tests. This intelligence became a cursed yoke around his neck during his most important years. He could not attend regular classes as he found the work too boring. Idle hands get into trouble.
And now, here on Boxing Day, I sit and I cry. 
For depression has stolen my son, my baby, my Bubba and I do not know what to do, where to turn or what to think.
As most of you know I am still fighting terminal cancer and advancing heart disease. 
And now …… my baby is gone. 
And I am broken.  Very much so ……….
Tomorrow my wife and I will make arrangements to bury our son.
Then we will cry ………..

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy...

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

Hey America, Sorry To Say, But …….

  I have been told that 1 percent of the American people are running the asylum formerly known as “ The United States of America “. So, what are the other 99 percent doing? A few lame protests? You all remained silent even when both Trump and Musk openly admitted to rigging the electoral computers in Pennsylvania. You all allowed the fascist rapist to STEAL the Presidency from Harris.  You have stood by and allowed your newly appointed Dictator to commit crime after crime.  I remember a time when the American people actually stood up for their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. Protests accomplish nothing and only fuel the nutjob’s ego. Now look at the mess you have created!!! Every member of Trump’s administration  is corrupt and and should be arrested and JAILED! He purposely has put incompetent people in charge of key positions across all government departments and programs to create multiple chaotic disarray and confusion. No Dictator in history has ever given up their power...
