Christmas.

In a few months it will be Christmas. Today, I am suffering from Cancer and may not be here for Christmas and so I am leaving you this small poem...  

                                CHRISTMAS.

GENTLE FANTASIES AND SWEET LIES BATHED IN BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FROM DECADES PAST, ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE CHRISTMAS!

HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!

NO MATTER WHAT RACE OR RELIGION OR REASON...

HAVE A SUNSHINE DAY AND A STAR FILLED NIGHT!

AND MAY THE MOON SHINE BRIGHT ON YOUR LOVE, TONIGHT...

HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!

NO MATTER WHAT RACE OR RHYME, RELIGION OR REASON.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 I CHOSE ZERO ADVERTING AND MY BLOG IS GREAT! IT WILL EVEN PROVIDE ME WITH NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD WITHOUT ADVERTISING, IF I LOG IN USING MY OWN IDENTIFICATION. YOU CAN DO THE SAME BY CREATING YOUR OWN BLOG BUT BE ADVISED... CHOOSE WISELY!

The fight for my life!

 Hello Gentle People!

 I won't recover from Cancer but I can give it a hell of a fight, for as long as possible!

If you don't know me by now, here is a reminder. 

I registered the WORLD FRIENDLY HUMANITARIAN PEACE AND ECOLOGY MOVEMENT on the  Google web space, and because I did that, my web email box is now crowded with non profit organizations all asking for money!

The word donate has become a curse! Too many people use it to ask me for money! I am not a philanthropist and I don't have that much money! What I do have left I am keeping to help me survive the next few months. 

After my departure from this life, I will leave something behind for legal non profits, but not before! 

Thanks for understanding!

Yours in friendship and good faith.

Nelson Joseph Raglione.

Out dated school books.

 Gentle Canadians.

   Some school books in Canada are out dated. How out-dated? When a book is printed Ten years in the past, it is outdated! Check your children's school books for the print date. Today's information is evolving  fast with super computers and even faster with the help of artificial intelligence. Are outdated school books still viable? Are pocket telephones now acting as teachers and professors? To answer these questions I am going to ask my arificially intelligent computer.

Buy for now!   N. J.R.

If you don't know for whom to vote, vote for love, it's a winner!

 Gentle People:                                                                                        Sunday, April 13, 2025.

  The environment is being placed on the back burner during this Canadian election. Global warming, however, is a fact that will not be denied!

1.  Fact. A forest fire destoyed a complete town in California and wiped out a million Trees and thousands of small animals.

2.  Fact: A hurricane destroyed lives and buildings in Florida, U.S.A..

3.  Fact: Floods ravaged Portugal and Spain and Asia as the Oceans become warmer.

4.  Fact: Pollution in the air we breath is slowly poisoning millions of people.

5.  Fact: Pollution is created when we destroy our Oxygen creating forests in order to create thousands of houses and condomiums and millions of paper products.

6.  Fact: Our so called "Natural Resources" perpetuate global warming and our "Fossil Fuels" are polluting us and the rest of the world.

5.  Question: Which politician in Canada wants to exploit our "natural resources" for profit?

6. Vote according to your conscience. Vote for: clean air, clean water, and clean food! Stop the Oil Pipeline once and for all.

DO WE NEED THE U.S. AS A FRIEND...YES!...AS AN ENEMY? NEVER!!

TODAY IN CANADA...

 MILLIONS OF INDUSTRIAL WORKERS AND OFFICE WORKERS ARE TERRIFIED BECAUSE U.S. GOVERNMENT TARIFFS WILL PLUNGE CANADA INTO ECONOMIC RECESSION.

 APPARENTLY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO SWITCH JOBS AND HORROR OF HORRORS! MANY WILL HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR COMPUTERS,,,MYSELF INCLUDED...AND THEIR COMFORTABLE CHAIRS TO WORK ON THE FARMS AND GARDENS AND FORESTS OF THIS WORLD.

SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? MONEY IS THE PROBLEM! IT IS NOT THE SOLUTION?! 

THE SOLUTON IS TO CREATE A GREEN WORLD! WE NEED GREEN TREES...GREEN GARDENS  EVERYWHERE...GREEN ROOF TOP GARDENS...GREEN-HOUSES FILLED WITH VEGETABLE PLANTS AND FLOWER PLANTS AND FRIENDLY EXPERTS WHO UNDERSTAND PLANT BIOLOGY. GREEN LOVING ECOLOGISTS WORKING DESPERATELY TO STOP THE POLLUTION CREATED BY PEOPLE CHASING MONEY.

CANADA HAS ALL THE GREEN WE NEED TO SURVIVE A RECESSION AND NOW WE HAVE MILLIONS OF NEW IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE YOUNG ENOUGH AND ABLE ENOUGH TO WORK ON FARMS PLANTING GREEN VEGETABLES,  AND JUST AS IMPORTANT, IN CITIES PLANTING GREEN FRUIT TREES EVERYWHERE INCLUDING: ON FRONT LAWNS, IN BACK YARDS, IN LARGE POTS ON ROOF TOPS AND IN POTS SITUATED ON THE THOUSANDS OF BALCONIES NOW HANGING FROM THE SIDES OF MULTI-LAYERED CONDOS. THOUSANDS OF NEW CONDOS.  TOO MANY DAMN CONDOMINIUMS...BUT I DIGRESS.

WE CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT TRUMP AND HIS FOLLOWERS NOW RUNNING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

CANADA HAS FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD WHO ARE WILLING TO BUY OUR GREEN PRODUCTS AND CANADA ALSO HAS THE COLOR  BLUE.

WE HAVE BLUE SKIES WHEN WE STOP DRIVING U. S. MADE GAS PRODUCING AUTOMOBILES, AND WHEN WE STOP PRODUCING FOSSIL FUELS FOR THE PROFIT AND BENEFIT OF THE TRUMP FRIENDS WHO I NOTICED WERE STANDIG BEHIND HIM DURING HIS INAUGURATION. 

WE HAVE BLUE NON POLLUTING INSULATION PANELS CAPABLE OF KEEPING OUR HOUSES WARM IN WINTER AND COOL IN SUMMER, MADE IN CANADA!

CANADA HAS BLUE WATER BECAUSE WE ARE FINALLY LEARNING TO APPRECIATE CLEAN WATER AND DEVISE WAYS TO KEEP OUR WATER CLEAN BOTH FOR DRINKING AND FOR SWIMMING, AND WE HAVE GREEN THINKING SCIENTISTS WHO ARE CREATING  BETTER SOLUTIONS FOR DISPOSING OF HUMAN WASTE.

THE WORLD WILL HAVE CLEAN BLUE WATER WHEN GIANT CARGO SHIPS STOP DUMPING THEIR OILY SLUDGE INTO THE OCEAN.

DO WE NEED FRIENDS? YES! ...FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED!

 DO WE NEED JAZZ AND BLUES SINGERS. YES! WHEN WE STOP  THINKING ABOUT TRUMP AND WE CONCENTRATE ON: FUN, FRIENDSHIP, AND LOVE.

DO WE NEED THE U.S. AS A FRIEND? YES!  AS AN ENEMY...NEVER!

unicef: world water day.

Dear Joseph, On World Water Day, we celebrate the profound role water plays in helping children survive, stay healthy and reach their potential. Yet every day, millions of children still lack access to clean and safe water, putting their health and futures at risk. Thanks to your monthly support, UNICEF is working tirelessly to bring essential water services to children and families in the world’s most challenging places. Here are just a few examples of how your generosity is making an impact:

Keeping safe water flowing in Ukraine In Liubar, Ukraine, deteriorating pipes caused a decline in water quality and frequent outages. UNICEF, with the support of our donors and partners, was able to provide 1,500 metres of piping to help the community restore its water supply, ensuring access to clean, safe drinking water for children and their families.

Trucking water to displaced families in Syria In Al Hol camp, Syria, displaced children and families face a daily struggle to meet their basic needs, including access to clean and safe water. Thanks to donors like you, UNICEF was able to step in with water trucking assistance to reach nearly 16,600 residents with the water they urgently need.

Solar power brings clean water in Ethiopia In Ethiopia, the ongoing conflict left 14-year-old Samrawit (pictured) and her family struggling to access clean water. With UNICEF's help, a solar-powered water system now provides Samrawit’s village with clean water, allowing her to focus more on her studies and less on fetching water.

Test your water knowledge! Did you know your monthly gift is supporting UNICEF's water programs in over 100 countries around the world? Take our quiz and learn more about UNICEF's work in water and how your support is making a difference.

TAKE A QUIZ   Joseph, your continued support is vital in helping us reach more children with access to clean and safe water. We cannot thank you enough for supporting our mission to ensure every child is healthy and has a brighter future.  With gratitude, Sara Zerehi Chief Strategic Engagement Officer UNICEF Canada

OXFAM : WATER IS LIFE!

Water is life. Water is a human right. Yet, more than two billion people live in countries where water supply is inadequate. And for too many, water is not just scarce—it’s under threat. This World Water Day, will you take action? Your gift can help deliver clean water to those who need it most. GIVE WATER TODAY Today, I want to share some of the biggest water crises we’re facing and how Oxfam is responding: Water as a weapon of war – In Gaza and beyond, cutting off access to water is being used to control and harm civilians. We’re working urgently to provide safe drinking water and sanitation where it’s most needed while calling out this war crime. Climate-driven disasters – Floods and droughts fueled by climate change are worsening global water and food insecurity. Oxfam helps communities adapt and build resilience. Water-borne diseases – Outbreaks linked to unsafe water puts millions at risk. We respond with rapid emergency hygiene kids, sanitation and community engagement to prevent deadly infections. With over 80 years of front-line water and sanitation expertise, here’s how we’re taking action right now: Desalination – Oxfam engineers have been pioneering desalination in Iraq, Kenya, Somaliland, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza. This technology turns dirty groundwater into drinkable water using reverse osmosis, often powered by solar energy. Water trucking, drilling boreholes, water piping, and repairs – When water stops flowing due to drought or conflict, our teams work tirelessly—often risking their safety—to restore access. Irrigation systems – In Malawi and Somaliland, Oxfam has built irrigation systems that channel water from reservoirs to farmers’ fields, supporting agriculture and strengthening food security. Dignity-first – From women-specific sanitation kits to locks and lighting near latrines, we consult with communities to ensure safe and resilient water access for all. GIVE WATER TODAY Water isn’t just about wells and pipelines—it’s about justice. That’s why we also push for long-term solutions and advocate for stronger commitments from governments to secure water access for all. I’m particularly proud of Oxfam’s expertise and bold approach. Our water engineers are renowned for their speed and efficiency, providing large-scale water supplies and disease-preventing sanitation facilities to millions of vulnerable people around the world—even in the most challenging environments like Gaza. Thank you for fighting for water justice. Sincerely, Dalia Al-Awqati Deputy Director, Humanitarian Oxfam Canada P.S.: Every dollar counts. A donation of $50 can provide emergency water kits for families in crisis. Please give what you can today to help us bring clean water and dignity to those who need it most.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID SUZUKI!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID SUZUKI! Donate in honour of David’s 89th

To be honest, Nelson, inflation means the critical work David cares most about is more costly than ever. Donors makes this work possible. But some dedicated long-term supporters have had to reduce — even cancel — their gifts. Though they’re facing similar pressures, generous donors have stepped up to help fill the gap. But it’s not enough. Can you help?

Over the last year, donors like you helped: Power a win for renewables. In December, Canada passed clean electricity regulations. This bold step for climate action also means cleaner air, lower energy costs and thousands of jobs. Promote renewable power for all. Our research shows Canada can end our addiction to oil, gas and coal and move to affordable, reliable, nationwide zero-emissions electricity by 2035 — in just a decade! Advance a cap on oil and gas emissions. More than 25,000 people sent messages via our website to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for its pollution. Now we’ll push ALL parties and candidates to address this important policy in their election platforms. Secure methane regulations. B.C. strengthened its methane emissions regulations for the oil and gas sector in September. We’ll continue to push for federal regulations to be finalized as soon as possible to stop harmful methane emissions. End public fossil fuel financing. In July, Canada finally delivered on its promise to turn off the tap on most taxpayer handouts to the fossil fuel industry. The next step: end ALL public financing to these polluting companies that are raking in record, obscene profits while polluting our country. …and more! We can’t stop now. Your gift today will keep work like this going, turning up the pressure on Canada to prevent catastrophic global heating by: Leaving fossil fuels in the ground. Switching to 100 per cent renewable energy. Protecting natural areas that sequester carbon, prevent flooding and erosion, maintain water supplies and remind us that we humans, too, are part of the web of life. These actions are needed to solve the climate crisis. And they ARE POSSIBLE if we act together NOW. If David has ever inspired you, please consider expressing your solidarity with what he stands for with a special donation in honour of his 89th birthday.

My gift for David’s birthday

Thank you for caring about protecting the people and places you love. Jasmine Yen Director, Development P.S. Other generous donors will match all gifts made by midnight March 24 up to $47,500! P.P.S. When you make your birthday gift, you can include a personal note for David. He’ll love reading your message.

HOW MANY MORE ARE GOING TO DIE?

 Dear President Trump:

It is not a damn card game! Your murderous friend, Putin, who learned to murder in the K.G.B, continues his murderous rampage and you don't seem to care! He pretends to be your friend but Putin is a psychopathic narcissist without morals or ethics and he will not stop after stomping on Ukraine.

How many more will have to die before you wake up!? Putin will not stop after completely destroying Ukraine!

GLOBAL CHARTER OF ETHICS FOR EVERYBODY WITH A TELEPHONE CAMERA.

GLOBAL CHARTER OF ETHICS FOR JOURNALISTS

The IFJ Global Charter of Ethics for Journalists was adopted at the 30th IFJ World Congress in Tunis on 12 June 2019. It completes the IFJ Declaration of Principles on the Conduct of Journalists (1954), known as the "”Bordeaux Declaration

TThe right of everyone to have access to information and ideas, reiterated in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, underpins the journalist's mission. The journalist's responsibility towards the public takes precedence over any other responsibility, in particular towards their employers and the public authorities. Journalism is a profession, which requires time, resources and the means to practise – all of which are essential to its independ- ence. This international declaration specifies the guidelines of conduct for journalists in the research, editing, trans- mission, dissemination and commentary of news and information, and in the description of events, in any media whatsoever.

1. Respect for the facts and for the right of the public to truth is the first duty of the journalist.

10. The journalist will consider serious professional miscon- duct to be
n plagiarism
n distortion of facts

2. In pursuance of this duty, the journalist shall at all times defend the principles of freedom in the honest collection and publication of news, and of the right of fair comment and criticism. He/she will make sure to clearly distinguish factual information from commentary and criticism.

3. The journalist shall report only in accordance with facts of which he/ she knows the origin. The journalist shall not suppress essential information or falsify any document. He/she will be careful to reproduce faithfully statements and           other material that non-public persons publish in social media

4. The journalist shall use only fair methods to obtain infor- mation, images, documents and data and he/she will always report his/her status as a journalist and will refrain from using hidden recordings of images and sounds, except where it is impossible for him/her to collect information that is over- whelmingly in the public interest. He/she will demand free access to all sources of information and the right to freely investigate all facts of public interest.

5. The notion of urgency or immediacy in the dissemination of information shall not take precedence over the verification of facts, sources and/or the offer of a reply.

6. The journalist shall do the utmost to rectify any errors or published information which is found to be inaccurate in a timely, explicit, complete and transparent manner.

7. The journalist shall observe professional secrecy regarding the source of information obtained in confidence.

8. The journalist will respect privacy. He/she shall respect the dignity of the persons named and/or represented and inform the interviewee whether the conversation and other material is intended for publication.                                                 He/she shall show particular consideration to inexperienced and vulnerable interviewees.

9. Journalists shall ensure that the dissemination of information or opinion does not contribute to hatred or prejudice and shall do their utmost to avoid facilitating the spread of discrimination on grounds such as geographical, social or ethnic origin, race, gender, sexual orientation, language, religion, disability, political and other opinions.

n slander, libel, defamation, unfounded accusations

11. The journalist shall refrain from acting as an auxiliary of the police or other security services. He/she will only be required to provide information already published in a media outlet.

12. The journalist will show solidarity with his/her col- leagues, without renouncing his/her freedom of investigation, duty to inform, and right to engage in criticism, commentary, satire and editorial choice.

13. The journalist shall not use the freedom of the press to serve any other interest and shall refrain from receiving any unfair advantage or personal gain because of the dissemina- tion or non-dissemination of information. He/she will avoid - or put an end to - any situation that could lead him/her to a conflict of interest in the exercise of his/her profession. He/she will avoid any confusion between his activity and that of advertising or propaganda. He/she will refrain from any form of insider trading and market manipulation.

14. The journalist will not undertake any activity or engage- ment likely to put his/her independence in danger. He/she will, however, respect the methods of collection/dissemina- tion of information that he / she has freely accepted, such as "off the record", anonymity, or embargo, provided that these commitments are clear and unquestionable.

15. Journalists worthy of the name shall deem it their duty to observe faithfully the principles stated above. They may not be compelled to perform a professional act or to express an opinion that is contrary to his/her professional conviction or conscience.

16. Within the general law of each country the journalist shall recognize in matters of professional honour, the jurisdic- tion of independent self-regulatory bodies open to the public, to the exclusion of every kind of interference by governments or others.
