Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

post the side by side (1902 vs 2015) video for comparison. Stunning.
That film is breathtaking on several levels. Thanks.
Wuppertal…

For the truly crazy train journey, have a look at the Volks Electric Sea Train of 1897 which only lasted five years.

okay, I’m stoned…
While stationed in West Germany in the 60’s, I was fortunate to ride the wuppertal train on two separate occasions. It was snowing once and truly a magical trip. The second trip was in the summer. The windows on the cars were open and we traveled right by hundreds of window flower boxes on the apartment buildings. The scents of flowers filled the tram car. If you ever travel to Germany, this should be a “must visit” destination.
A marvel in engineering and lovely views.
Thank You SDA; the flying Germany in 1902 is an incredible example of Germany in its rush to compete with England and as follows with the unmatched pace of New York City.
As decades passed and I read and wondered how could the sophisticated persons in Germany allow the Brutes of Socialism: Communism; and Fascism all part of the same box of a Collective: travel down the inevitable steady slide into ‘Animal Farm’. Orwell’s foresight -farsight of “1984” shows the need to civilize at the individual situation within a family and community.
What has happened in the American scene of seems implausible; but it will become similar to the Canada’s always maintained as the ‘other’ when the rusty and untrustworthy Victorian Era Privy Council steadily bends its knee to any type of Monarchial distain for clerical services; particularly a self serving Managerial Mandarin Class. My time left as a Mortal being is not very long. However it appears the stubbornness of an adolescent, has placed this arrested development Leader on the pedestal. There is only the Agenda put into place during the period of first enlightenment __ When the West wanted to be part in the process of Governance. This was anathema to the sturdy crowd of ‘knowing what is best’ for both maintaining a generational inheritance of all which had survived almost a full Century as a Nation.
How could anyone expect to become part of the story and glory from such a hinterland. Yet ? Monarchy was no more except as a stage show to generate revenue. Now the future of Canada’s forgotten and foolish Citizens, will be set aside for a new version of the Monarchy. A collective steadily infiltrated, bribed, and dominated by the Legacy of Canada’s version of the British ‘Remittance Man’. The young educated bi-lingual educated individual who understood – He did not have to enter into the filthy cruelty of actually fighting in a War. The royalties of a Family Trust through the American connections, would keep this particular Family out of harms way. Riding a Motorcycle and with the arrogance of unearned capability even mocking the Young who were placed in Harm’s Way.
Now the ‘Third Way’ has come to fruition: the pat on the Head by the Collective Dragaon is in control. Needing survival assistance materials Send the Canadian Citizen’s to the dragon’s lair; payment never to come; Let the 100 times in population off the hook ! After all We want to continue the development of the forgotten French Fact and the 75 % of dragon business is needed to fund this large, but still incipient ‘other culture to grow and enjoy Their Culture.
Now the Dragon roar was impeded by the Eagle,s Cry “we are tired and suffering from carrying the load”: fairness is required. The bold Dragon was shocked; cash flow was lessened; outreach and expenditure to follow the Collective mantra of __ Infiltrate; bribe; dominate became so successful those ‘who don’t know or understand Tyranny is good; not owning any house or property means no worries is the future; But the Eagle’s memory of the nine most dangerous words an Individual of value is understood an remains viable> “I am from the Government and here to help” <
The infiltration – bribery – domination worked; two generations of indoctrination has moved the weak and self-interest persons into Decision Makers. The Eagle has been plucked from the Sky because even through the most infected creatures in the Nest the Eagle was able to maintain His Flight of FOUR Years.
Canada? well the Dragon is still having Cash Flow problems and the Adolescent in Charge continues to send the Canadian Citizen's retirement security funds for the Dragon to keep: it seems receiving back such investments is not a sure thing.
Will Canadians also become a nation or some such forced to learn Mandarin such as Tibet; Inner Mongolia; Bhutan: the Dragon has warned the South East Nations using the Mekong River as their main source of Fresh Water will now be reduced downstream. Will Canada ever receive their Retirement Surety Investment(s) back from the Dragon's control? It will not come via Hong Kong.
Will Canada become a tri-lingual federation? Will the Nation du Quebec remain Unilingual or forced to become Bilingual.
Will the English Language Culture remnant Provinces still be Governed under English Common Law __ at least for Civil Law?

I felt bad for the horse the camera vehicle spooked at the end.
Not only that, but the flying car has finally arrived just this week.

On a similar theme, there was an Irish monorail that opened in 1888, built to a French design…

I sandblasted and painted bridges and water towers and I’m pretty confident saying rust killed that thing.
Bad cost/ benefit planning.
LOL…while viewing the video the same thought crossed my mind.
That said – pretty cool thing for its time.
