Whatever our political beliefs, as Canadians, doing our part by voting today is the least we can do for the liberty we enjoy every day. Wishing, hoping, and praying for all people to experience the same freedom is another thing we can do too.

Applicable to Canada as well as many of us Canadians know, especially since the introduction of contract part-time work that pays no benefits and is either minimum wage or slightly above, while also expecting “contract” people to use provide and use their own capital for an employer’s benefit, such as, but not limited to, computers, Wifi, and vehicles.
“Companies looking to attract enough blue-collar workers will have to continue increasing wages and, as a result, possibly experience diminished profits,” wrote Gad Levanon, chief economist for North America at the Conference Board, a global economic research organization that has studied the recent US labor shortage.
Slow income growth has been the most persistent problem affecting the US economy in its recovery from the Great Recession. Wages have barely kept up with the cost of living, even as the unemployment rate dropped and the economy expanded.
With such a tight labor market and rising productivity, workers should expect much bigger pay raises than they’re getting.
Private sector workers (excluding farmworkers) got a measly 8-cent average hourly raise in July, adding up to an average pay of $27.98 an hour. Workers’ wages only grew about 1.6 percent in the past year, after adjusting for inflation.
While that’s faster than wages have been growing since the recession started in 2007, it’s still a pathetic amount compared to the sky-high payouts corporate CEOs are getting.
But raising wages will only do so much to ease the labor shortage. Businesses will need to hire more foreign workers too.”

For those of us who celebrate any holiday because holidays can help re-energize us, Happy Civic Holiday! For those who call the day something else or may not celebrate, to each their own, but best wishes nonetheless!
As for me, this long weekend has been all about packing for the much-desired move out of the women’s shelter into my own private, quiet, clean studio/bachelor apartment close to supportive, loving family. Hopefully the relocation to the small community by the water will happen early next week. But for now, most of the packing is done and a busy week lies ahead. For today though, my TED Fellowship application awaits completion and another remote/online job advertisement beckons.

Hooray, we are celebrating how fortunate we are to live in Canada, whether as new citizens or citizens from a line of immigrants from around the world.
We celebrate Native Americans who were here before us too.
We are a diverse nation still learning to be inclusive, but we are getting better at it.
We are all Canadians!
HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Of course, as you know, what children are taught in classroom is often overridden by what they see and experience in their lives, so what are we teaching children by our beliefs, words, and actions?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages.

Human Rights in Our Provinces
Provincial and territorial human rights laws are very similar to the Canadian Human Rights Act and apply many of the same principles. They protect people from discrimination in areas of provincial and territorial jurisdiction, such as restaurants, stores, schools, housing and most workplaces.

Hooray! Today Canada celebrates the diversity of our country created by the immigration of people from around the world!
Many people have forgotten this because as far back as they may recall, their family has always lived in Canada, yet our national and family histories reveal WE ALL came from other countries, and in fact, some of us come from countries who did a lot of invading and conquering, which meant inflicting a lot of mass destruction.
So, the valuable lesson for ALL of US is developing respectful ways to get along no matter where we live … in the same manner we ask children to get along with others … regardless of our personal religious, political, social, etc. beliefs.
Why?
For our own peace of mind that will keep us rational AND compassionate.
And so we can show, not just tell the children, how to co-create a better world.
Connecting the Dots … with The Respect Principle … will make it so because the concept is logical, practical, and compassionate, which gives it the ability and power to overcome ALL prejudice.
Now we just need to decide to act with the wisdom … plus encourage and empower others to do the same.
Respect … the way back into love.
