Something you might enjoy anyways. Good Friday is a day to reflect on your faith and your life. I want to know what you do to make your community a better place. Volunteering is a good way to get involved in your community. As most of you know, my family volunteers for Dogs with Wings as a foster family. I thought you might enjoy some videos of Dogs with Wings and some of the foster dogs we have or have had.
This first video will give you an idea about the Dogs with Wings organization, look closely at the black lab puppies, one of them is ours (not the one barking)!
The next video shows a working guide dog named Enzo, we fostered him and we are glad to see that he is a real star! Funnily enough, the first dog we ever fostered, Pride, went to Ray as well, so both dogs he talks about were our fosters, and they both did/do a terrific job of making Ray's life easier.
If it doesn't show the right video, just click on the Dogs with Wings one.
Finally, we went to the airport to pick up a black lab puppy from California last Good Friday, and here is her reaction to a mirror!
Seeing how these dogs change a handicapped persons life, makes it all worth it for us. So, this Easter, think about what you are doing to contribute to helping those in society who need it the most. Writing a cheque is good, but actually getting involved is better. Too many people talk about helping those who are in need, but do nothing about it. A perfect example are the soft on crime crowd who yap about rehabilitating criminals not incarcerating them. They talk, they write papers and they cry that Conservatives don't care about the criminals, only the victims.
When you look at who is helping the homeless, it's Christian organizations, yet lefties are the first to criticize anything Christian. Everyone, no matter their voting colour, should get involved in an organization in their community that will help those people who can not help themselves. So, step away from your keyboards, and join your community this Easter in rejoicing and become an active participant to help better your life and those of others! Volunteer.

PEI Joins CWB, Welcome Aboard!
Dateline, February 28th, 2008
PEI has opted to join the Canadian Wheat Board to help them market their potatoes, welcome aboard! Ontario farmers are also rumoured to be ready to join with western farmers by selling their wheat and corn only to the CWB. This is a huge showing of support for the CWB, and how efficient they are in marketing agriculture products to the rest of the world. Quebec dairy and hog farmers are also hinting that it is time for them to support the CWB by shipping their products to only one seller, the CWB.
Reporters talked with CWB President, C. U. Lye, and he was dumbfounded by this sudden show of support, by provinces they do not control. Expressing his astonishment, he had this to say, "This outpouring of support for our repressive monopsony, seeing as we are the only buyer in the market, it unbelievable, it clearly shows the the CWB is on the right track to keep suppressing our farmers, and that if need be we can jail them without worry. If we get all agriculture producing provinces supporting us, farmers will be done for, and the cities will have won."
Joining in with support for farmers are the opposition parties in Parliament, here is what they had to say about this outbreak of support for the CWB:
MPs say time for feds to abandon barley campaign
OTTAWA -- Opposition MPs say it's time for the government to abandon its campaign to end the Canadian Wheat Board's monopoly on sales of western barley.
Liberal Wayne Easter says consecutive losses in the courts make it clear that the government can't go on.
He says the move to allow farmers the choice of selling their barley themselves or through the board threatens the existence of the marketing agency.
PEI Liberal MP Easter was dumbfounded to find out that the court losses had convinced PEI potato farmers to also support the CWB, by putting their next years crops in the capable hands of the CWB so that the existence of the marketing agency would not be threathened. He could be heard mumbling, "It's okay to keep Alberta wheat farmers down and out, but I never thought PEI potato farmers would buy my line of BS." Attempts to interview him for this article were met with the response that he was hiding out in a potato field, counting seedlings.
Alberta farmers can not believe that they will have to continue selling only to the CWB and that opposition MP's don't even feel a slight sickness in how they continue to repress democracy for farmers.
