Stunning! Like the biblical Joseph, there were signs that the then much younger Justin will come to lead a country so diverse and at a time so demanding like no other in at least modern history. Here we are today – in a time where not only the burden of providing smart leadership to the nation is crucial; but even more is the task of ensuring all Canadians eat amidst drought and famine or call it economic slump caused by the pandemic outbreak that has hit the world over to the point that many cannot even risk going to work at certain times.
What does it mean? In the Bible, Joseph’s first dream was that he saw his eleven brothers looked up to him. In the second dream, not only were his eleven brothers going to look up to him, but also his father and mother. And just thereafter, his father being a prophet, when he had pondered over Joseph’s dream was inspired to bless and extend Joseph’s vision to become global such that not only were his father, mother and siblings going to look up to Joseph, but also, all nations of the world. This, Jacob did by making for his son, Joseph the coat of many colors. There is no color on the flag of any nation that was not on Joseph’s coat of many colors. And after he had gone through many ups and downs, Joseph became in charge of Egypt, the ancient world's center and power of that time, and Joseph rose to become the PM of Egypt in a time of global drought/famine, a time where even money failed in Egypt.
And every nation
came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all
the earth.
Genesis 41:57
In Canada, not only have Canadians looked up to Justin and his government
during this period, but also the major political parties which in this case stand
for Joseph’s father and mother – especially the Liberal and the Conservative
parties which often produce or give birth to the nation’s leaders. The Liberals,
Conservatives, New Democrats and Greens all applied for the federal
government's wage subsidy program – depleting the treasury by about $670,000 every
month to pay up to 75 per cent of their combined 200 employees’ pre-pandemic salary.
But Justin’s biological parents/family had also since moved
to Goshen in their finances to the murmuring of the Conservatives.
In their usual stunt though, the Conservatives, even as they are taking their own pie as a political party, have at the same time stirred some controversies over the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). Well, call me names or in the usual untrue claim, say you work harder than most who benefit from CERB, but it has been a time of some leveling, too negligible and short a time though to even think of talking about beginning a process to reduce centuries of wealth inequalities; of the flow of cash also into the marginalized segments of Canadian families and population who like the Israelites in Egypt, their strength have been the primary driver of the economy of this great country. Whereas the largely Conservative minds that control and hoard wealth sit in offices to sign papers, bully and constantly scheme to continue to relegate these segments of Canadians to peasantry, they themselves (the conservative minded) have continued to take home hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars annually doing very little or nothing. And before you crucify me, I am a registered and voting member of the Conservative Party who just recently mailed in my vote for the party leadership in favor of the person Erin O’Toole team in their letter/email to me introduced and described as being same as Mr. Trudeau and the liberals. When I got Erin’s team’s letter, I didn’t wait to hear from the candidate they had introduced to me as being same as the PM, as that was enough info for me to decide who to cast my party leadership vote for. I was excited to hear that we have or can have somebody just like Mr. Trudeau in the Conservative party.
So, years back, young Justin, like Joseph, had, for emphasis and affirmation, not one time dressed to showcase the diversity of a country he will later come to lead. He appeared as Aladdin with black face/skin coated over a European Canadian lad. On his head is the Asian Indian turban with a big Amerindian feather comb running from center front to the back of his head. The T-shirt shows youthfulness; the large belt or waistband with shoulder straps announced strength and one who will be ready when this time comes, to shoulder the burden of the nation. Again, the fact that he made this appearances many times, just like Joseph dreamt again, established that he was born and was being groomed to come to power at a time where never before is the burden and the destinies of especially the so call Canadian minority and aboriginals will be in his hands. Like the Biblical Magi that trailed the uncommon star in the sky to go and see baby Jesus, the Indo-Canadians (Asia-Indians) saw not just their turban but even more, the rising star and with smiles and excitement about what was to come, joined themselves with him in those occasions. Little wonders why Indo-Canadians are a major player in the present government. I am only jealous that perhaps there were no blacks/Africans present in those occasions to also join themselves to him. These appearances were iconic representation of multicultural – dreams of a unique and crucial time where all people, no matter their colors, tribes, tongues, culture, and beliefs will look to him to provide leadership in this country.
The Asian Indians are there smiling and celebrating their leader in Indian turban; the Amerindians run to him for hugs and tight embrace, taking selfies; while the Conservatives are stirring up some blacks/African Canadians to be upset. Upset for what? That your country leader sees himself in you and sees you in himself? Ask a typical so call Conservative minded Canadian of European root why they are causing agitations among you and using you against yourselves, and they will say they are trying to save you from identity theft. Yeah! That is how dumb their bigot mind is, mistaking you for the dumb one. I call on the blacks/African Canadians to bone up and stop being misled to cry for nothing when we should be celebrating and rejoicing. Those who trick you to cry when indeed you should be celebrating are simply ridiculing you.
