Part 2 - the Speech
“Imagine that you see the wretched strangers…
their babies at their backs…
plodding to the ports and coasts for transportation.”
Then the turn of the blade:
If you were forced from your home,
would you be pleased to find
“a nation of such barbarians?”

EU, don’t deport people to unsafe countries!
Europe could soon adopt a dangerous policy. People would be deported to countries they’ve never been to - without a fair hearing. Add your voice and tell EU leaders: protect the right to asylum!

The Trans Mountain tank farm, visible from my apartment window, always makes me think, "Yep. Too many expensive trees and not enough oil tanks built on a mountainside in an earthquake zone; that's the problem." (not my picture)

In the previous months we’ve heard every excuse to withdraw from these humanitarian disarmament treaties.
But there is no justification. Not for landmines. Not for cluster munitions.

Flowing right to left within a frame
The washing water wipes, then waters down
Woeful tears, then mended untended tears
In fragile fabric wrapped over ears
Weary of hearing hearts heavy and heaving
Eroding rocks in time stood still
As kids can sing
Verily, verily, life is but a stream

Woeful tears, then mended untended tears
