  Remembrance Day has rolled around once again and, as I have done in previous years, I’m posting my Battle of Britain story. However, this time Deacon has a new image since he is the lead in an anthology I published this year (Kindle only). I’m also including one of the rhymes that appears in the anthology, “Native Sons in WWI” which was prompted by a story Francis Beaton Jr. told of his experience. Enjoy.     Deacon Copyright © 2019 David M.

  Some of what follows is explained at the end of my short fiction, “Into the Mountains”. However, this might also be helpful and the picture should supply some idea of the scope of the area. The settlement and development of all regions of North America has created some interesting stories. Each area and each story is different and creates interest for different reasons in different people. The settling and opening of the Tomslake area, south-east of Dawson Creek, BC, at least as we understand it today took place in the late 1930s and into the ‘40s. However, I know, from having spoken with a few early trappers and prospectors that there was some development as early as the late 1890s, small though it might have been The “historic” settlement (recorded) is explained somewhat at the end of “Into the Mountains”. Those who were expelled from the Sudeten Land after the Munich Agreement of 1938, many of whom were afraid for their lives when the Nazis moved into their country, had to...

It has been available before, but now a few things have been added. Such as a new cover. Into the Mountains Background          In 1885 after years of unfulfilled promises from Canada’s Federal Government the Métis of the North Battleford and Frog Lake areas of the North West Territories (in today’s province of Saskatchewan) rebelled over their treatment. It was known as the Northwest Rebellion or the Second Riel Rebellion since it was led by Louis Riel who had led a rebellion in 1870 in the Fort Gary/Red River area (today’s Winnipeg).        Riel was indeed the leader but the military leader or M é tis General was Gabriel Dumont and he was joined by some Assiniboine and Cree people. Despite being ill equipped in relation to the Canadian Militia and North West Mounted Police and vastly outnumbered, the rebellion lasted for several months and resulted in the deaths of 91 people. Had Dumont been allowed to operate without political...

"Obviously you weren't at the meeting this morning." I didn’t write this, but it expresses the confusion I now experience due to the misinformation being loudly distributed across the world and accepted by many without the benefit of any proof. This pretty well covers the gamut of changes that have taken place in the last decade. Political correctness out of control and is what the socialist has done to our world and it is pushed by the left wing news media which has this very agenda.   I Used To Be a Normal Person As a man, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me "Privileged", a racist & responsible for slavery. I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget & support myself. I went to High School, paid my way thru college, earned a degree, & h...

A Real Man By D.M. McGowan 2018 He’s a man tells the truth unless it hurts a friend And at those times he might give it a little bend But if it hurts only him he’ll say just what he saw No matter what the outcome or how the chips might fall He supports moral action and treating others fair If someone really needs it he’ll be the one to share But if they only complain, always wanting more You may find he didn’t hear it and walked out the door. He knows there are those around don’t understand his code They seem to think they’re owed all the things they stole If he suspects eyes are watching he’ll nod and walk away But lonely road or dark of night, someday someone will pay. When he’s helping others he’d rather no one know The help he gives his fellow man isn’t done for show If everyone works together and the highs help the lows Then each and every one of us will prosper and grow.

What is already illegal / legal in Canada This is a "C7" manufactured to specifications from the Canadian Armed Forces. It can be called an "Assault Rifle" but is illegal for private ownership This is an AR-15 with a laser site. With the caliber offered (.223) it is a good "varmint" rifle (that is prairie dogs, coyote, etc.) However, this particular rifle was manufactured for US sales. The clip or magazine is too large for Canadian sale. Only five rounds are permitted in Canada. This needs to be seen across Canada ... my homeland that's being destroyed by a crew and their figurehead who are not running/managing it but quietly destroying it. This is from someone with far more experience than I. AR - 15 stands for Armalite Rifle Model 15 (NOT Assault RIfle) Sharing from someone else so more people are informed....please people, you need to fight this!!! Feel free to copy and paste this on your wall like I did. Let me lay th...

An Obituary printed in the London Times....... Brilliant!! Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: - Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm; - Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to...
