And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Why the Canadian Parliament has a library is beyond me. No Canadian Pol can read or understand basic common dog. Total bunch of loser sheeple; every last one of them! Are you listening Polievre? Had hopes for him but he turned out to be another pile of steaming BS. Turns out the only hope is in Bernier and he doesn't have the followers because The Conservatives under Polievre lied and betrayed their constituents.
A beautiful space, with a lovely white marble statue of the young Victoria right in the center of the room. I used to go there between turns in the booth ( l am a conference interpreter and worked in the House of Commons, 20 minutes on, 40 minutes off) and read the OED - the great Oxford English Dictionary. They had the full edition, 11 volumes or so.
It survived the great fire of 1916 or whatever year it was. The library had fire doors, and still does. On other occasions l would go outside and visit the Hill cats. There was a colony of the beautiful critters in the bushes just to the left of Center Block. I used to say they were the most intelligent creatures on the Hill. Alas, they are now gone. . .
church folk are all about ornamentation

The beautiful wood carving, everywhere!
Thanks CW. Nice to see the home town featured. Steve_in_Ottawa
ReplyDeleteSimply timeless architecture. Compare that with Obama's presidential library.
DeleteA library for the obtuse and corrupt who wander Parliament Hill.
ReplyDeleteCanada was a great country once upon a time
ReplyDeleteSo was the U.S.A.
DeleteI'll bet it doesn't have any economics books by Hayek or Sowell on the shelves.

It is a place for people who can and do read books, regardless of their politics.
