The Speech from the Throne - Ottawa, 1977

[blueskipper-photography]

Right after I opened my eyes to the darkness of my bedroom this morning.

A wonderful bliss flooded my entire being instantly. Though it lasted only for a little while.

Still I feel that loving connection between me and that moment of tranquillity and happiness.

From that perspective I see a whole new world around me. I am joyful and happy..

And I am excited to know for sure, that such moments will keep coming back again stronger.

Our focus is the only reality.

Upper House By Koichi Takada Architects In Brisbane, Australia

Upper House in South Brisbane, Australia is a multi-residential project by Koichi Takada Architects and delivers 188 apartments over 33 stories. The skyscraper rises to exemplify a fusion of nature, design, resident wellbeing, and sustainability that defines modern urban living. Text description provided by the architects. Upper House is inspired by the organic forms of the Daintree Rainforest. Located only moments away from the heart of the Southbank cultural precinct, the building delivers a new quality of inner-urban life – where a connection to nature, quality design, resident wellbeing and environmental sustainability align in one expressive form.

What Canada really needs is senate reform!

All of the major political parties have scuffed policies when it comes to the senate!

For example, the NDP and Bloc want to abolish it, the Liberals want to appoint liberals disguised as independents to the senate, and the Conservatives want it to be business as usual while they appoint "conservatives" to be senators.

Canada's upper house is based off of the UK's House of Lords but why must we take the bad aspects of it?

Canadian's deserve a senate that is:

Of the people

By the people

For the people

Canada needs an elected senate!
