[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
