Yes, We Could Have Known

Yes, We Could have known “History repeats itself?” “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” “Those who don’t study history are bound to repeat it.” And my favorite, this one from Pearl S Buck; “If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.” The way history was presented in school always upset me. Students were told how kings, prime ministers and presidents did this or that resulting in some type of follow-up months or years later. With very little research beyond teachers’ instructions, it was possible to discover that kings, prime ministers and presidents didn’t do much of anything that didn’t increase their “electability” or their treasury. Sometimes they were forced to do something outside those parameters by the common man whether they be called peons, serfs or merchants. Or because the common man uncovered what they were trying to hide. The problem with many – and I do mean many – historical records are that, as Winston Churchill ...

  From the Author’s Note For “The Great Liquor War”             There are some events related in the “The Great Liquor War” that are recorded parts of history. Canada’s Transcontinental Railway or Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in 1885, and the state of construction in 1884 is roughly as depicted. The last spike was driven at Craigellachie , November 7th, 1885 about two weeks before the end of the story related here.   It is also true that the section east of Farwell (present day Revelstoke) contained a steep section of track known as Big Hill. Many people were killed and many trains wrecked on this stretch before it was replaced by a system of tunnels in a figure eight pattern inside the mountain shortly after the turn of the century. Those tunnels were in turn replaced by shorter, straighter versions in the late 1980s.           The confiscation of liquor, the confrontation...

Joe Rogan's Podcast with Pierre Poilievre

Image
  A great interview by Joe Rogan with Pierre Poilievre in The EPOCH TIMES Canadian Energy Comments on Carney Trump and Tariffs Alberta Separation Criminal Justice.   https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/7-key-takeaways-from-joe-rogans-interview-with-poilievre-6001261?&utm_source=MB_article_paid_f&utm_campaign=MB_article_2026-03-20-ca&utm_medium=email&est=C5TgmEKfDmxTrW7mphKcteJUQ4jA3sHeVcZ4zTjlz0GsL2lnsGcZ0LdOu%2FZjVOJngw%3D%3D&utm_content=highlight-news-1 He has finally managed, with this interview and an earlier speech that was very strong, to distance himself from the great destructor of countries, including his own, the brutal attacker of all those who may disagree with him, including countries, the great destroyer and ignorer of the founding features and laws of his own country and the world, the Fascist and Racist Great Orange Buddha from south of the 49th parallel. Primarily because of that separation and a clear outline of his concer...

Book promotion

Image
  Book promotion and reviews.    Much of it a scam. It has been months since I posted a blog. I’ve been turning my novels into narrations and posting them The recording process doesn’t take too long --- about 45 minutes or an hour for each chapter but the editing of those recordings can take three times that   --- or a day. These are the latest to be become narrations and I have promo codes for both if you're interested in a FREE audiobook. https://www.amazon.com/Gunfighters-Thieves-Lawmen-Milton-McGowan-ebook/dp/B08DNHKVVV?ref https://www.audible.ca/search?keywords=Boundaries+by+David+M.+McGowan&k Even though I still have a novel to record …. … I've been writing a new story. I have three that have been bouncing around in my head and I HAD to get back to writing. I’ve suspended from that for a few moments today to talk about book promotion, particularly programs offering  promotion or reviews. Why? Because it’s a vicious circle. Yes, my stori...

LET’S CLEAN THIS UP!

Image
  https://www.amazon.ca/stores/author/B0C4YLP8FY  It’s time someone paid! It is also time those presently paying are RELEASED and RE-ENBURSED for their mistreatment. I wasn’t in agreement with the convoy primarily because I thought it was a waste of money and a lot of noise to accomplish pretty much nothing. The Canadian Federal Government, having received their position of power from a mere third of voters and the collusion of two political parties, would do as they pleased. They obviously didn’t care what the majority of citizens thought and wouldn’t make any changes because someone was parked out front blowing an air horn. But then came the unjustified, over-the-top ridiculous response from the Truedope cabal of dictators. Appeared to be a re-emergence of the same government that was responsible for inciting a riot in 1919 Winnipeg when union supporters were killed. Or when untrained, hastily sworn in police started a gunfight against the unemployed ( and comple...

  Defending against the Neighborhood Bully And if he hadn't been spoiled by all those screaming "money is right, forget integrity " ...... I didn't write this and don't think I could have. It's very well done and now, thankfully, in the public domain. It is also right on the mark! David vs. Goliath: The U.S. Trade War on Canada And Who’s Really Winning For years, Canada and the U.S. had a sibling rivalry. Sure, we had our disputes, but at the end of the day, we worked together. But now? It’s less “friendly competition” and more "Goliath throwing a tantrum because David won’t just roll over.” The U.S. is picking fights, throwing tariff punches, and blaming literally everyone but itself for its problems. And Canada? We’re just standing here, taking the hits, shrugging, and quietly preparing to win the long game. Even while threats are made daily to our own sovereignty. For anyone who forgot: David won. Goliath’s Temper Tantrum: The U.S. Trade War on Canada ...
