  4. I certainly hope not..... if a Creator who can answer prayer is real... the implications are scary.

    I am sixty four years old and I have often heard the question asked as to why you could cross the border into Canada and the cities are amazingly peaceful in comparison to a similar sized USA city. Why?????????/

    Pastor Jonathan Tremaine Thomas gives a truly brilliant answer to this question ......... basically....... thousands, tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of slaves in the USA prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed FOR CANADA that the Shalom of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus would be on our nation....... so that they could still be free once they followed the Underground Railroad up to Canada and got across that border!!!!!!

    The relative peace in Canadian cities is powerful evidence THAT THE FERVENT PRAYER OF SINCERE FOLLOWERS OF MESSIAH YESHUA - JESUS REALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!! His sermon begins at the 1:06:00 minute mark in this video. My conclusion from this video is that ALL OF US SHOULD NOW PRAY MUCH MORE FOR AMERICA SO THAT THE SHALOM of God will be on America as well!!!!!!

    .

    So.... is there really some way to break the economic chains on most Americans and Canadians?????

    Are we really like Gherbils running on a treadmill....... and could bad marketing be a major culprit????

    WHAT IS UNDERCONSUMPTIONISM? DO YOU THINK OUR PRIME MINISTER COULD DEFINE THIS THEORY IF ASKED ABOUT IT TOMORROW MORNING?

    Basically, underconsumptionism, is the idea that in a technologically advanced economy, the sum total of the wages paid out to all workers involved in the creation of consumer goods, will never be as high as the value of the goods that they can produce. Globalization and the lessening of trade barriers between nations can cause the discrepancy between the supply of funds in the hands of consumers, and the total global level of production, to become almost incomprehensible.

    This quotation from a Lubavichter Jewish website sums up the question quite well:

    Yes... prayer... That and having way lower levels of diversity.

    For example, Even Canada's most diverse city is only 9.6% black, and it's far less than that in most of the other major cities.

    You also don't see the Canadian media trying to rile up the emotions of their black population to turn out votes.

    Personally, I would say that Canada is safer than the USA because we have 10% of the population of the USA and we take better care of our population. There is a direct relationship between poverty and crime. Canada has social programs that help prevent poverty and therefore crime. Also, the USA has a system that seems to create criminals by over-incarcerating. Canada is the opposite. You can chop off someone’s head on a greyhound bus and be out in 3 years lol.

    On the diversity front, Canada is a multicultural country with two official languages so I feel, like we are more diverse than the USA. I think Vancouver, where I live, is the most diverse city. Other than when I go to White Rock or downtown Vancouver itself, I feel like a minority because there are so many people from other races here. I was in a Wal-mart one day and realized I was the only white person there even though the place was super busy.

    Times are changing too. I think careless immigration has allowed criminal organizations from other countries to take hold here. We have a huge problem with our real estate being used to launder money here in BC. Gun related violence is on the upswing I believe.

    The urbanization percentage rate of Canada is very similar to the U.S. A similar percentage of people in both countries live in more densely populated city areas.
    (Despite Canada having a lower overall total population density relative to its land area, in northern countries the overall population tends to be more concentrated into just a handful of bigger city areas)

    There's also a direct inverse relationship between poverty rates and social altruism in a country, how much that society pools their resources.
    The Paradox of Poverty
    diversity and changing attitudes towards helping others

    Rather than fewer people being poor because society chooses to pool their resources, the cause-and-effect relationship may likely actually be completely the other way around.

    I definitely think our lower population has a lot to do with it. The density of population in the USA is nothing like Canada.

    There are 50 million people in the east coast megalopolis. That’s crazy. There are 3 million people in Vancouver and then the next city with more than a million people is 500 miles away.

    Regardless of our motivations for having social programs, we have them and they help.

    This is a good point.....
    but perhaps one of the major reasons why Canada has social programs..... is actually how much prayer went up for our nation...... especially from the USA former Black Slaves who came here to be free?

    Near where I lived until December of 2021 Dr. Moses Coady began the Antigonish Movement that has revolutionized the economy of Canada and many other nations.

    I am thinking that the cooperative movement that he and his friends began a century ago may play a huge role in preventing P. M. Justin Trudeau from succeeding in forcing Canadians into some variation of the Biden Digital Currency.

    We Canadians could switch our mortgages from the Big Six Banks over to Credit Unions......... and this would rapidly terrify the C.E.O's of the big six Canadian banks!

    https://coady.stfx.ca/collection/th...h-movement/rt-rev-dr-moses-m-coady-1882-1959/


    What Dr. Moses Coady began.... reminds me of the Worgl Austria Local Money Experiment that seemed to play a huge role in forcing F.D. R. and his advisors into initiating The New Deal.


    The Worgl Austria Great Depression Experiment and a real estate boom in rural America?
