I remember how highly regarded he seemed when he first got in. But even from... Not America ;) I can see a lot of really concerning issues with his authoritarian stance. Freezing people's bank accounts is the exact thing I try to sway people on when it comes to voting against CBDCs. People just look at me like I'm a mad man and say "yeah, they could, but they never would" or "isn't it a good thing to be able to freeze funds of criminals". The willingness in which people are giving over control of their lives is so scary.
Speaking of Canada however. Man I want to see Banff national park before I die. All the pictures/videos just look breathtaking.
I have not been to Banff but it is supposed to be amazing. I went to Whistler and that was great.

The drive alone from Vancouver to Whistler is incredible.

Man I wanna go see more of the world again. I think I got too bogged down with the day to day mundane grind. Need to make time for traveling.

I hear ya. Great to go see natural wonders like the Rocky Mountains. I find it invigorating. We live in a ski resort town on lake huron. I am 5 minutes walk to the lake and 7 drive to the "mountain" (lets be honest it's called a mountain but its just a giant hill).
Since moving here from the city I haven't had a great desire to go travelling but maybe in couple years when my daughter is older we will do a family trip to Europe or something to that effect. I would like the kids to do some travelling and see a bit of the world beyond Canada and the US.

Sounds amazing. Put Prague and Budapest on your list of places to see in Europe. Hugely underrated cities. Truly teeming with culture.

Did you get a chance to listen to some tunes from the band I sent you yesterday?
reply
I've given the middle ground album a quick run through. And I'm getting a sort of pearl jam-esq vibe but with vocals a bit more like Matt Bellamy or at least his lower/mid range or Brian molko but without the nasally twang. Or maybe early RHCP sounds. It's hard to place it. But it's got that post grunge sound with early 2000s indie. Thanks for this, I don't think I'd have ever come across it normally.
I did not. I got distracted. I'm still working on a few from yesterday. Had close to the edge by yes recommended so with the length of rick wakeman solos you know that took me all day. I shall try to get to them 2moro. It was vacuity wasn't it? I've got it written down to have a listen on lunch break.
