Hi Joey! This is Grandpa. I can't wait to see you! I am going to tell you a little about what is happening in the world. News is usually a nice thing but in the strange world we live in, maybe not so nice, but you can be the judge one day, Joey. Some people in the USA are trying to control the world through possessing so much oil and controlling other countries. These are pretty bad people in my mind. The president of the usa is the figurative leader but in reality he is only the messenger. His name is George Bush. Africa often is in the news as so many children starve each and every minute in places like Darfur, Sierra Leonne, Nigeria and South Africa. These countries are so badly off because of western countries using the african people as human experiments with drugs. The pharmaceutical companies are responsible for this. The war in Iraq is going into its 6th year as the Americans want to steal their oil and then rip the American people off by charging inflated prices. If they wanted to save our planet they would not be so concerned about oil, but you know, money is money(maybe?). The North Pole is melting at a very high rate and soon there won't be any polar bears left. Polar bears are bears that are white and currently inhabit the North Pole. Other animals facing distinction are Koalas, sharks, etc. Too many because of human greed. I hope some animals are left for you to enjoy. Afghanistan is also playing host to another war in which Canada is playing a part. The Americans and Canadians are also involved in a war on drugs but they won't take a lesson from the UK and legalize drugs. China just had a very bad earthquake with over 60 000 dead. Burma just had a bad cyclone and many died there too. Many people were also injured and left homeless. 2% of the worlds population own 98% of the worlds wealth. I hope these numbers change in your lifetime, Joey. People in the world are very concerned about new findings about food we eat and many bad qualities in processed food and many other things about some of our food like beef that is pumped full of anti-biotics and steroids. Some world class athletes take steroids also to enhance there performance. Many of these athletes have had distinctions taken away from them. Global warming is a huge problem and we all need to be careful of what we drive and how vehicles affect the environment.The world's economy is an important concern as the United States is going through a recession and European countries seem much stronger.That is just a taste of our times three months before you are born.
We currently live in Playa del Carmen, Mexico but are still Canadian citizens. We live one block away from your Mom, Dad and Rocky. Playa Del Carmen is in the Riviera Maya on the coast of Mexico. Soon you can enjoy a swim in the caribbean.
Some people to remember, maybe?
Premier of BC-Gordon Campbell
Prime Minister of Canada-Stephen Harper
Mayor of Vancouver-Sam Sullivan
Presidente of Mexico-Calderon
President of the USA is George Bush
Music we enjoyed in our time- Sonny and Cher, Donavan, Niel Diamond, Stones, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Meatloaf, Arlo Gutherie, Country Joe and the Fish, Nirvana, etc.
Movies we have liked are; Good Will Hunting, Major League, On Golden Pond just to mention a few.
We will love to see you when you pop out and we will be waiting with open arms and very big smiles on our faces because you will make all of us so happy.
Love Grandpa
