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

Demons Of Guilt

Menu The LightHouse Dann Verner Some say my that my life has been a tragic sad tale. Only from their view point. Having lived through my life I can say it has been a damn good ride. I fear not dying for to die is final. To be waiting for that one final jolt of pain is extremely difficult to deal with. DEMONS OF GUILT This is a reflection of the pain I am going through as I finish my son’s biography. Delaney Jordan McLean Verner, 29 years old. Jordan “Bubba” Verner On Christmas morning 2019, hung himself in a town called Black Diamond . An obscure town in the underbelly of Alberta, Canada.

My Opinion Regarding the Israeli/Hamas War

  Listen to this episode on Spotify or wherever you stream podcasts. How can it be all right for one side of a war ( Israel)  to bomb innocent civilians, but not okay for the other side ( Hamas)  to do so? Common sense would tell you that the majority of the people living in the Gaza strip are not supporters of the barbarism of the Hamas. They would much rather be living peaceful lives. Not living under the reign of fear from the Hamas. Largest part of the Gaza strip problem is that if the Hamas were to allow the innocent to leave, where could they go? Israel? Egypt? The majority of the Palestinian people are in the same boat as the average citizen of Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. They are labeled and condemned by the actions of their governing leaders. The terrorist government controls every and all aspects of their everyday lives. You can not believe that all Palestinian citizens want to go to war. Their hands are tied and their voices are silenced by their leaders If they were to spea
