[Music]

good morning everyone this is Tony from

her Homestead skills and it is another

scorcher out there although they do

claim that tomorrow we should get some

relief and perhaps by this afternoon all

kinds of thunderstorms and that should

clear away some of the heat and humidity

well we'll see

I'm not

adverse to the heat you just have to be

careful with it careful how you dress

careful how much activity you perform

out in the sun and you're fine I did go

out to my garden this morning and I just

checked a few things and watered a few

plants just in case we don't get the

rain that they've been promising so I'm

hoping we do get a good deal you should

always helps the garden and checked on

my raspberries and they're starting to

turn and as I said by next week I should

be able to pick bowls I'm hoping to do

that and I did pick a few and eat them

and they're very nice very nice

so

yeah my cucumbers are doing good and

cucumbers do like a lot of water and I

was going to pull out one of my garlic

to see if they had uh grown enough but I

decided to leave it in the end so uh

they're not really quite ready for

picking and I don't just want to yank it

out of the ground when it still could be

developing somewhat

even if it is just one bulb

so I left the garden and went and did

some grocery shopping and bought

oh meat meat meat shrimp and chicken and

hot dogs for Mark he hasn't had hot dogs

in ages and he does like the occasional

hot dog

so

I picked up a package of dogs and buns

for him so he can have a snack here and

there whenever he wants

I wanted to discuss

oh I don't know

people have very serious concerns about

some of these organizations for the UN

the wef The Who

the IMF

and what they're up to

and I have heard

a recent talk again that people are very

concerned about signing away

autonomous rights to

the U.N in September of

2024. and I'm of the impression that

it's just going to be another

spinning their Wills as they've been

doing year after year I don't really

believe

that you're going to get countries

willingly

succeeding

rights

to their own

security

their own

rights to establish their own laws

to their own rights to determine their

own governments so

there may be areas where countries will

cooperate as they have done in the past

in areas like economics you know there

is trade around the world and

perhaps that is just in its infancy and

needs to be developed a little bit more

fairly for everyone involved I don't

really see an issue with that

I don't know who's involved with that

it's out of my spear it's above my pay

grade

I really cannot

unless I get in-depth involved in that

world

I won't understand it anyway so

as I said above my pay grade for today

is there a problem with having say a

world currency

I don't really see that that is so much

of an issue but in I've dealt with

trying to exchange money from Canada to

the US

and I find that

um

a bit of an issue

always take a huge hit when I do that so

should there be a balance and how should

that be affected I don't think that the

U.S should lose out on the strength of

their dollar compared to the rest of the

world no

so how do you get um

a world currency that works for everyone

once again above my pay grade let them

iron it out and let them fight it out

and I can assure you that people will

not

governments Will Not Bow Down willingly

to any

third party

they might come to some sort of an

agreement to say this and this should be

done and that should be done and yeah we

should fight global warming and yeah we

should encourage green energy and

yes I have an issue with the plastic bag

and and I think I have voiced that and

my issue stems from the fact that they

come after the individual Shopper and

take away his right to be able to bag

his products before he leaves the store

and if they were serious

let's find a way to go after all the

manufacturers that wrap all their

products in plastic I mean some of them

so hard that you take scissors to cut

them out of these hard plastic

containers it could almost cut yourself

on trying to get what's inside out

is that plastic not as detrimental as

the plastic bag that I wrap my groceries

in

yeah I know it's a rant

but and my milk comes in plastic bags I

have three bags inside another plastic

bag so there's four plastic bags when I

buy milk and I understand that in some

places they still have milk jugs plastic

so

what is wrong with going back to a glass

bottle for milk

we used to have glass bottles for milk

and why are they not looking at that as

a alternative to

getting plastic out of the system no

they go after her straws

and plastic bags that consumers need

because consumers are more easily

encouraged

than manufacturers I hate to tell you

that that's the issue they're going to

have a lot more trouble getting

manufacturers to stop using Plastics

and once they do I can agree to not have

a plastic grocery bag and can use a

basket again you know I'll take a paper

bag I mean we do have paper bags with

handles nowadays and they make nice

um shopping bags just get the ones that

are about the same size

okay getting back to all these

organizations worldwide organizations

the truth of the matter is that the

world is becoming a smaller

environment and everything that one

country does affects another country and

a war in one place affects us here we've

seen that

Russia and Ukraine is certainly

affecting us all

food shortages in one part of the world

affects food shortages everywhere failed

policies of all governments are

affecting all of us

I mean they try something and uh

for whatever reason

and we've seen where

policies are enacted just to protect the

interests of some other ones are enacted

in order to

benefit materially

a select group

or a few

and then of course there are those that

just know how to take advantage of any

situation that are of a situation that

may arise

of a policy that's being enacted where

the rest of us are just

forced to live with the consequences of

those policies good better and different

and yes I can understand that

we could be so adversely affected that

we lose everything and that has happened

to many people during covet lost jobs

lost homes and now that

the covid

grace period

is ending a lot more foreclosures are

going to happen and

I've just heard today that yeah

apparently uh

the job market in the U.S was a lot

stronger than they wanted it to be so of

course interest rates are going to go up

they're not going to be too happy about

that they're trying to cool the economy

Lord Knows Why cooling the economy is

considered a good thing

I think everyone should have a job

everyone should be able to earn an

income

um it's

the way people get self-respect as well

as being able to feed their families and

put a roof over their head it is

a means of being

of gaining some respect for oneself for

being able to achieve something and do

something and be as self-sustaining as

possible so

yes it is a strange world where you're

better off not having jobs

so that they can control the mess that

they created in the first place

and

those that complain in Canada

I have a question for them

where were you when the truckers protest

was happening

if you aren't happy with your government

and the decisions they make where were

you when it counted when it mattered

did you go to Ottawa

to support these people

did you help to fund them did you waive

encouragement from uh

a highway overpass

along the roadside were you involved in

any way shape or form or did you just

sit back and say

Let them fight the good fight for the

rest of us

or did you object to their

protest

because you were adversely affected

[Applause]

they were crushed because they were a

small group and they weren't supported

and they were crushed brutally

I don't know how many

would have willingly

gone through that process knowing that

they would lose their businesses that

they would have their bank accounts

taken away from them even if it was only

on a temporary basis I think a lot of

them lost more than

a bank account on a temporary basis and

I think that they will be a little bit

more cautious in the future and unless

you get the ground swell of support

behind you you're not going to affect

change

so those that want change either you do

it by

protesting legally

and

there are those that would tell you that

that was an illegal protest but I don't

see it

and

and you're allowed your opinion

more power to you that's okay we're all

a louder opinion

but

at some point

you have to take sides I guess

I never believed that in the past I've

always thought best to try to stay

neutral but you really don't have much

Choice sometimes

and and I did that in a situation one

time where there were two opposing

forces and I didn't take one side and I

didn't take the other

you know what happened they both

attacked me

they were both upset with me for not

taking I would have been protected had I

taken one side or the other

but because I took neither both of them

and I lost out but

you know what you Rise From the Ashes

how many times do you have to Rise From

the Ashes of the fires

as many times as you're burnt

and you keep doing it and you keep

Rising

anyway as far as the World Bank and the

UN and the IMF and all those people

what am I going to do to stop them from

doing what they're doing

nothing

I'm going to focus on

what I can do

and the changes that I can affect and if

I can't affect any change then there's

nothing for me to do

and the only person I can change is

myself I can't even change mark

Mark can't change me either

we can try to cooperate and sometimes we

do very well and other times

he goes one way and I go the other and

that's all good too that's another form

of cooperation

[Applause]

but um

yeah you can't change anyone but

yourself you can't improve anybody but

yourself and you can't

make anyone worse

wanting to fix somebody else just takes

the focus off who you should be working

on

so

I I don't know if you've noticed but I

rarely have the um

any interest in telling anyone else how

to live I tell people what I think

how I may do something

how I what I believe but I also believe

everyone else has got the right to their

own opinions and

and sometimes I will have a discussion

with them on other times I won't bother

it

it isn't necessarily worth it it's okay

going back to the U.N am I afraid of

them no

do I think that they will disrupt my

life totally probably not I think that

locally I'll be more disrupted by what's

going on and you know provincially and

federally here in Canada and certainly

what goes on in the U.S is going to

affect us here what goes on in the world

today is not that critical

it may become so in the future and when

it does then I will look at it do I

believe that we're going to sign away

our rights in September of 2024.

I think it's just going to be the old

spin again everyone's going to say yeah

yeah we should be doing this and yeah

yeah we should be doing that and they

might come to some agreement about

something but

I don't think for one moment that any

politician is going to give away their

power to somebody else

just my opinion once again above my pay

grade I'm only speaking what I believe

and what I feel

so

once again perhaps

ignorant

I I may

I don't deny that I don't have the skill

set or the knowledge so am I speaking

out of ignorance perhaps

and and I don't deny that that may be

the fact

okay

Don't Be Afraid keep stocking up

it look to what's happening in your

situation locally what you can do to

better your condition in the lives of

your immediate family and friends and

loved ones

and really

that's the way to change the world

one one person at a time make one

person's life happier

better

help one individual you've done a great

job

yourself

anyway this is Tony from her Homestead

skills

and I hope you enjoyed this and we'll

catch you on the next one bye for now
