Who Owns the Northern Sea?
That’s a question an article in the Globe and Mail asks recently as Canada vies to hold onto the artic while the U.S., Russia, Norway and Denmark send their submarines to chart and claim whatever part of their continental plate can mapped.
WAIT! EVERYONE forgot about the Inuit, Yupik, Sami, Kalaallit and other indigenous groups of the north. Are we surprised? No. And it is each of the tribes who were told by Creator to care for the land and sea…the word own or sell do not exist. Giving the land is a post-colonial concept. It is with their determination that perhaps we can keep the polluting, whale killing ships to a minimum and war driven ships to zilch.
Man, you can try what you want, force what you want, but indigenous prophecies are what they are and those you can only turn around by action of spirit. Love to you so you can open your heart and turn around to truly help the world.

Ha Hoo! Parishioners! Yes, yes, I know I’m late , but with good reason. Carrying on with our ecunemical outlook I had to search high and low for this burka, all so I can understand why they wear these darned things. What’s that smell?
Perhaps Muslims have a good idea for the mask and long robe, after all, we Christians have…..sniff, sniff, what is that odour….have let things slip too far judging by the way youth dress. Oh my, p.u., this is really repugnant. Phew! Perhaps we should have pressured the schools more, after all, those young tarts are asking for rape and…..ew, I can’t stand it, the reek is too….oh wait a minute, it’s my breath! Ho ho ho, well I’ll just remove the mask and carry on….perhaps the burka isn’t just a good idea after all. Sally and Susie will just have to bare with the consequences.
