Good Evening World
Waiting for that all important telephone call or that letter, neither of which arrives leads to a sense of frustration. When will I ever learn? But, tomorrow is another day!
I did get that letter off to the editor. Not an important one but it is nice to be able to sort out one's thoughts for whatever value they might hold and commit them for a small world to see. One value that writings of that type, it permits me to get something "off my chest", much like getting someone off one's back.
I called the editor of the Ottawa Citizen to pass on a couple of ideas for future articles or columns. He wasn't there but his answering machine was. I have no difficulty leaving messages and in particular, with this editor for he has called back in the past.
We in the nations capital city (Ottawa, Canada) will host the President of the United States. Needless to say, it will lead to hardship for motorists and bus ride commuters as there will be gridlock with some streets and roads closed, all in the name of security. Yet, if anyone on earth needs top notch security, he does. President Bush has many enemies and some of these would like to see him dead. If ever there is an assassination, and we hope this will never be, let it not happen here in Canada. No matter what the cost and inconvenience to our people, let his trip be pleasant and problem free.
Today we recall the assassination of John F. Kennedy that took place 41 years ago. For those of us who can remember, that was a tragic day, a day that shook nations. Such a day, we wish would never want to be repeated. JFK was an inspiration to many! May his soul rest in peace.
Words from the letter to the editor of the Ottawa Citizen follow:
"The Far North has a great appeal to a number of Canadians. Some of us have traveled to such northern locations as Yellowknife and Whitehorse and even farther north to Inuvik, Cambridge Bay and Eqaluit, formerly known as Frobisher Bay. My favorite location is the more remote Tuktoyaktuc. Many of the northern travelers have found a new love for our country through visits to these and other locations.
With the creation of Nunavut, the old North West Territories have changed in size and that is one good reason for a name change. Yet, a better reason would be giving the newer "territory" a name that has greater significance to the People, a name that has meaning beyond a "location" name that had relevance when we thought of the land as "way up there". Today, with modern transportation that land "way up there" is accessible, though expensive to visit. It is our land, Canada; let the People name that old territory as they please.
The Prime Minister shows initiative in disclosing his prediction that the territories will become Provinces. We have history in the making. Some of us would say, the sooner the better!
