I'm not affiliated with or inclined towards any specific political party of Canada. But this recent campaign video, which is on CPC's YouTube channel, is interesting to watch:
This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Heraldry looks intriguing.
Below is an example, the coat of arms of Canada:

Human beings have combated poverty for so long.
Then we know poverty is a relative thing instead of an absolute one.
