I am standing at the base of the obelisk, the very same spot after the nuclear incineration of Kansas City shown in THE DAY AFTER movie clip below. THE DAY AFTER will be too LATE. For those who think it could never happen, it already happened in History!
In 1963 I was a labourer for The Foundation Company of Canada working on the DISTANT EARLY WARNING LINE in the Arctic Circle, the 1st line of radar warning of a Soviet attack over the North Pole. The Foundation and warning is set in Newspaper History with the 1976 ALL SOULS DAYKansas City Times record. The LINE is no longer DISTANT and it’s getting LATE.
The Historical facts can be ignored and dismissed, but they can’t be changed.
Subject: A Prophetic Warning from 1976 – Now Unfolding Before Us
Greetings from Hull Senators,
Forty-nine years ago during the 1976 Republican National Convention, as a Canadian, I found myself unexpectedly standing at President Ford’s podium in view of the compressed crowd of delirious Republicans in the Lobby of The Crown Center Hotel as a Secret Service agent questioned me at length, finally asking “Are you Jesus Christ?” Having no illusions about that THEN and NOW, emphatically answered “NO!” The next question was just as surprising, “Who are you then? A prophet?” That I could not answer as definitively. You have access to the Secret Service records of my Time at that Republican Convention.
What followed was a prophecy published in The Kansas City Times on September 13, 1976:
“He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD’S BIDDING: To tell the World, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered […] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of BABYLON,” he said.” […] He wanted to bring to the Public’s attention an “idea being put out subtly and deceptively” by the government that we have to get prepared for a War with Russia.”
That 1976 FUTURE is NOW with the Revelation of the details GENERALLY unfolding in the spirit of the 1976 letter.
The World is waking up to see Americans may hasten “its days are numbered” part of the 1976 Vision, and waits with bated breath…. The historical record continues, ¨There are 30 months before the fate of the world will be sealed with EITHER Destruction OR the Universal Brotherhood of Man,¨ he said. ¨The 30 month figure concerned a Treaty between Israel and Egypt.¨
NOTE: This does not say Armageddon happens in 30 months from the article.
Exactly 30 months later, in March 1979, history shows a Treaty between Israel and Egypt was signed, The Camp David Accord. History shows talks broke down on the 12th day and no Treaty was to be signed. Begin and Sadat were leaving. It was on the 13th Day, as in the date of the 1976 article and the picture accompanying it, an unexpected window of opportunity appeared and opened the way for the Treaty to be signed.
This signified the Universal Brotherhood part of the quote. The 1979 Iranian Revolution happened in the 29th month, and the MSM is projecting these 49 Years later, the US and Israel are opting for the Destruction part of the 1976 prophecy unless you do something to stop it.
All Souls’ Day, November 2, 1976, the KC Times published a follow-up with me standing at Kansas City’s Liberty Memorial. Exactly seven years to the month later, November 20, 1983, the world watched The Day After – the harrowing TV movie depicting Kansas City’s nuclear annihilation, of all the major US Cities where the movie could have been shot. In the film’s most haunting scene, the camera pauses at the very spot where I had stood 7 years earlier as published by The Kansas City Times.
These are the Signs of the Times of what may be the near term Future these 49 years later:
Today, we have arrived at that prophetic crossroad:
Will we choose the path of Brotherhood through justice and accountability? Or will we fulfill the other half of the 1976 prophecy through destruction?
The knocking at the door in the Revelation of Jesus Christ 3:20 grows louder. The choice before you now will determine whether America’s “days are numbered” or whether we’ll witness another 13th-day redemption. You ignore this Warning at your own peril.
With the Israeli Genocide in Gaza that would not be happening without US complicity and facilitation, the Truth must be known. Because the US is complicit with the Genocide, the American People have the greater responsibility to pressure their government to stop participating with the great evil of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes and the massacre of women and children in Gaza.
Forensic consultant says multiple bullets were used from short range in attack that has caused global outrage. Israel expanded aerial and ground attacks in Gaza since ending the ceasefire. Benjamin Netanyahu said it intends to divide up the territory

A forensic doctor who examined the bodies of some of the 15 paramedics and Palestinian rescue workers shot dead by Israeli forces and buried in a mass grave in southern Gaza has said there is evidence of execution-style killing, based on the “specific and intentional” location of shots at close range.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society, the Palestinian Civil Defense and UN employees were on a humanitarian mission to collect dead and wounded civilians outside the southern city of Rafah on the morning of 23 March when they were killed and then buried in the sand by a bulldozer alongside their flattened vehicles, according to the UN.
Israel has expanded its aerial and ground attacks in Gaza since ending the ceasefire last month. The prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said on Wednesday it intends to “divide up” the territory.
The killing of the paramedics and rescue workers has triggered outrage around the world and demands for accountability. On Wednesday, the UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, said Gaza was the deadliest place on Earth for humanitarian workers.
“Recent aid worker deaths are a stark reminder. Those responsible must be held accountable,” Lammy said.
Ahmad Dhaher, a forensic consultant who examined five of the dead at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis after they had been exhumed, said all of them had died from bullet wounds. “All cases had been shot with multiple bullets, except for one, which could not be determined due to the body being mutilated by animals like dogs, leaving it almost as just a skeleton,” Dhaher told the Guardian.
“Preliminary analysis suggests they were executed, not from a distant range, since the locations of the bullet wounds were specific and intentional,” he said. “One observation is that the bullets were aimed at one person’s head, another at their heart, and a third person had been shot with six or seven bullets in the torso.”
He emphasised that there was room for uncertainty due to the decomposition of the remains, and that in other cases he reviewed “most of the bullets targeted the joints, such as the shoulder, elbow, ankle, or wrist”.
Two witnesses to the recovery of the bodies told the Guardian on Tuesday that they had seen bodies the hands and legs of which had been tied, suggesting they had been detained before their deaths. A Red Crescent spokesperson, Nebal Farsakh, said on Wednesday that one of the paramedics “had his hands tied together with his legs to his body”.
Dhaher said there was no clear evidence of restraints on the five bodies he examined. “I could not recognise any tying marks on their hands due to the state of decomposition of the five cases I checked, so I can’t be sure of it,” he said.
The Israel Defense Forces and Benjamin Netanyahu’s government have said IDF soldiers opened fire on the ambulances and rescue vehicles because they were “advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights or emergency signals”. Government officials claimed to have killed a Hamas military operative they named as Mohammad Amin Ibrahim Shubaki, and “eight other terrorists” from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, in the attack on 23 March.
However, Shubaki was not among the bodies recovered from the mass grave outside Rafah on Saturday and Sunday, eight of which were identified as Red Crescent ambulance workers, six as civil defence rescue workers, and one as an employee of the UN relief agency Unrwa. The IDF has not responded to questions about why the dead were buried with their vehicles or to reports that some showed signs of having been tied up.
The sole survivor from the shootings on 23 March, Munther Abed, a Red Crescent volunteer, contradicted the official Israeli account, saying the ambulances had been observing safety protocols when they were attacked.
“During day and at night, it’s the same: external and internal lights are on. Everything tells you it’s an ambulance that belongs to the Palestinian Red Crescent. All the lights were on until we came under direct fire,” Abed told The World at One on BBC Radio 4. He denied that anyone from a militant group was in the ambulance.
Abed, who was in the first ambulance to come under fire in the early morning of 23 March, said he survived because he threw himself to the floor at the back of the vehicle when the shooting started. The two paramedics in the front seats of the ambulance were killed in the hail of Israeli gunfire. Abed was detained and interrogated by Israeli soldiers before being released.
The other 13 victims were all in a five-vehicle convoy dispatched some hours later to recover the bodies of the two dead ambulance workers. All of them were shot dead and buried in the same grave.
A Guardian investigation published in February found that more than 1,000 medical staff had been killed across Gaza from the beginning of the conflict on 7 October 2023 – triggered by a Hamas attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 Israelis – until the beginning of a temporary ceasefire in January. Many hospitals have been reduced to ruins in attacks that a UN Human Rights Council commission concluded amounted to war crimes.
Since ending the two-month ceasefire last month, Israel has vowed to step up its military campaign against Hamas. On Wednesday the defence minister, Israel Katz, said that campaign was expanding to “seize extensive territory” in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu said Israel intended to build a new security corridor as it was “dividing up the Strip”.
Hospital officials in the occupied Palestinian territory said Israeli strikes overnight and on Wednesday had killed at least 40 people, nearly a dozen of them children.
What We Know About the Case of Gaza Aid Workers Killed by Israeli Gunfire
The Israeli military, confronted with video evidence contradicting its initial account, now says it was “mistaken.”
The Israeli military has acknowledged flaws in its initial accounts of its troops’ involvement in the killing last month of 15 people in southern Gaza who the United Nations said were all paramedics and rescue workers.
The admission came on Saturday, the day after a video obtained by The New York Times appeared to contradict a key part of the military’s earlier version of events. While the military had said it fired on the vehicles after they “advanced suspiciously,” the video showed clearly marked ambulances and a fire truck.
The episode has drawn international scrutiny and condemnation. After the blatant inconsistencies in the Israeli account were revealed, the military seemed to move more quickly than usual to address the issue. Internal military inquiries into questionable deadly episodes can drag on for months, even years.
Here’s what we know so far:
The Israeli military’s version(s)
In its initial statements after the bodies were discovered, the military insisted its troops had opened fire as a convoy approached them in the dark “without headlights or emergency signals.”
But the video — discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found in a mass grave — shows that the ambulances and fire truck had emergency lights on as Israeli forces unleashed their barrage.
The military now says the initial account from forces on the ground was “mistaken.”
Military officials had previously asserted that nine of those killed were operatives of Hamas or Islamic Jihad. They had named only one of the nine and provided no evidence for their claim.
On Saturday, a military official who briefed reporters on the initial findings of an internal inquiry said at least six of the 15 were Hamas operatives but still did not provide evidence. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity under army rules.
Before the encounter with the emergency vehicles, the official said, reserve forces from an infantry brigade had been lying in ambush along a road to the north of the Gazan city of Rafah before dawn on March 23. At 4 a.m., they killed what the official described as two Hamas security personnel and detained a third.
Two hours later, as dawn was breaking, the emergency convoy approached the same spot. When the rescue workers began to leave their vehicles, the official said, the Israeli forces believed that they were Hamas operatives heading for them and opened fire from afar.
Amos Harel, a military affairs analyst for the left-leaning newspaper Haaretz, said in an interview that the soldiers had “good reason to be anxious” and that it would be wrong to assume immediately that the case was one of “murder in cold blood,” citing Hamas fighters’ frequent use of civilian infrastructure as cover.
But the episode raises questions, Mr. Harel said, about the soldiers’ conduct and the version of events they reported from the ground.
The military official denied reports that some of the bodies were found bound and shot at close range. He said that the troops had buried the bodies to shield them from wild animals and used heavy equipment to move the disabled vehicles off the road, mangling them.
What the aid groups say
Palestine Red Crescent Society representatives said last week that ambulances had set out around 3:30 a.m. on March 23 to evacuate Palestinian civilians wounded by Israeli shelling.
The Red Crescent said that an ambulance and its crew had been hit by Israeli forces and that several more ambulances and a fire truck headed to the scene over the next few hours to rescue them. A U.N. vehicle was also sent, the United Nations said.
Seventeen people were dispatched in total, of whom 10 were Red Crescent workers, six were emergency responders from Gaza’s civil defense service and one was a U.N. worker.
It took days to negotiate access to retrieve the 15 bodies. The Red Crescent said that one medic was still missing and that one had been detained by Israeli forces and later released.
The Red Crescent said Israel’s “targeting” of its medics should be “considered a war crime” and demanded an investigation. It added that the latest killings brought to 27 the number of its members killed during the war, which started on Oct. 7, 2023, with a deadly Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.
On Friday, the president of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, Dr. Younis Al-Khatib, told reporters that, based on autopsies and forensic evidence, the emergency workers had been “targeted from a very close range.”
Reaction in Israel so far
The case has received broader coverage in Israel since the exposure of the video. Politicians have mostly remained silent, perhaps waiting for the military to complete its inquiry.
Mr. Harel, the military affairs analyst, said the inquiry was a first test for the recently installed military chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, regarding the military’s international standing.
And the larger question of accountability remains. Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights organization, found last year that of 573 cases of suspected war crimes in Gaza examined over the past decade by the army, only one led to prosecution.

In the fall of 1977, I found myself standing at the Member’s Entrance to the Canadian House of Commons, waiting for Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. What followed was a series of encounters that would intertwine my life with his, the papacy, and the divine shaking of earthly powers—a story of faith, humility, and the enduring call to “feed the sheep.”
My journey with Trudeau began in 1977, when I wrote him a letter and attempted to deliver it to him as he returned from his daily lunch at 24 Sussex Drive. As his limousine pulled away, I shouted, “Prime Minister! I have some information for you, Sir. Will you accept it, please?” Trudeau froze in his footsteps, unable to move until his aides helped him. Days later, I returned to Parliament Hill, climbing the main stairway to the road in front of the Peace Tower. Just as Trudeau’s limo was passing by, it stopped unexpectedly. To my surprise and admiration, Trudeau got out and walked toward me.
“Why do you keep shouting at me?” he asked. “To get your attention,” I replied. “I’m a busy man. I’ve got my work to do,” he said. “I’ve got my work to do too,” I answered, handing him the envelope.
A few days later, at an event on Parliament Hill, I asked Trudeau if he had read my note. The media often projected him as a devout Catholic, so I was surprised when he responded, “You only want to talk to me about God. Use your mind.” At that moment, I thought, The game is on. It was a challenge, but also an invitation to engage on a deeper level.
A year before my first encounter with Trudeau, in 1976, I was washing dishes at Suzanne’s Kitchen on the boardwalk of Venice, California, when I woke up remembering a vivid dream. In the dream, I was a small child, perhaps six or seven years old, dressed in an oversized General’s uniform. The cap covered my ears, the sleeves extended far beyond my hands, and the greatcoat and sword crumpled on the floor around me. I stood at the bottom of a grand stairway, looking up at the Pope, who was crowned and enthroned at the top, surrounded by all the pomp and ceremony of the Vatican.
As I watched, the Pope rose from his throne and descended the stairs. He approached me and said, “Here are the Keys.” I asked, “You’re giving me the Keys?” He answered, “Yes.” “You’re giving me the Keys to the Kingdom?” “Yes,” he replied. “You’re giving me the Keys to the Vatican and the Treasury of the Vatican?” In the dream, the Pope said, “It’s all yours, and you can do what you want with it.” I answered, “If it’s all mine, let’s order champagne for the world and go uptown Saturday night.” And then I woke up.
The dream stayed with me, its meaning unclear but its imagery unforgettable. It wasn’t until the Year of Three Popes in 1978 that I began to see its significance. Obviously the Pope didn’t deliver the keys to me physically, but in the real World 2 years later, the Pope in fact did come down from the throne, and Pope John Paul I who in fact came down from the throne came from Venice, Italy. You must decide if that was coincidence or design?
August 3, 1978, I had a chance encounter with Trudeau near the Langevin Block in Ottawa. As he stepped out of his limousine, I said, “Peter, feed the sheep.” The words were a variation of what Jesus said to Peter, the first Pope, in John 21:15-17. The official title of the Pope is “Successor to the Apostle Peter,” and Pierre is the French form of Peter. I couldn’t say “feed my sheep” because the sheep belong to God, not to me. Trudeau, perhaps puzzled but amused, shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Alright! Alright! I’ll feed the sheep,” before leaping up the stairs to his office.
The Official RCMP report confirms this encounter with Prime Minister Trudeau
Naturally the RCMP Agent would consider what I said to the Prime Minister as nonsensical not being aware of the spirit of the words Jesus said to the Apostle Peter the 1st Pope, recorded in John 21:15-17, Jesus said to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me? Peter said to him, Yea, Lord; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.
Three days later, Pope Paul VI, the successor to the Apostle Peter, passed away. The timing felt like more than a coincidence—it was as if the words I had spoken to Trudeau echoed across the globe, a reminder of the responsibility that comes with authority.
Paul VI was the last Pope to be Crowned and Enthroned in the 1000 years of Catholic Ritual and Tradition
The world was filled with hope and optimism in August 1978 when Cardinal Albino Luciani was elected Pope John Paul I. Known as the “smiling Pope,” he appeared relatively young, vibrant, and in good health. His warm demeanour and reputation for humility suggested that he would bring a fresh perspective to the Vatican, perhaps even cleaning house and ushering in a new era of transparency and reform. For many, his election felt like a breath of fresh air, a sign of renewal for the Catholic Church.
Most probably I was the only person on Earth to know the connection with the dream I had in Venice, California in 1976. This new Pope John Paul I who came down from the Throne 2 years later came from Venice, Italy.
Yet, just over a month into his papacy, on September 25, 1978, I experienced a profound spiritual impulse. A strong sense of conviction moved me to reach out to Pierre Trudeau once more, this time to reiterate the message I had delivered earlier: “Feed the sheep.” It was a call rooted in faith, a reminder of the divine responsibility that comes with leadership. However, Trudeau was out of town, so I phoned his personal secretary, Cecile Viau. I reminded her of my earlier encounter with the Prime Minister at the Langevin Block and asked her to convey the message to him: “Tell him to feed the sheep.”
Three days later, on September 28, 1978, the world was stunned by the sudden and unexpected death of Pope John Paul I. His passing after just 33 days as Pope sent shock waves through the Catholic Church and beyond. I was dumbfounded by the news. I had no foreknowledge of his death when I acted on that spiritual impulse September 25. It felt as though the timing of my message and his passing were intertwined in a way that defied coincidence, as if the call to “feed the sheep” echoed beyond Trudeau and into the very heart of the Church.
On October 13, 1978, Prime Minister Trudeau made an appearance at Glebe Collegiate Institute in Ottawa to speak to the children prior to what the media called a ¨mini-election¨ of 15 federal riding’s having a by-election. Standing at the main entrance to the school as he arrived, I said to the Prime Minister not 2 feet away from me, “Peter, look at the Spirit of the 13. Feed the lambs.” I was wearing my trademark No. 13 jersey.
Note: the RCMP agent in his Official report of that day with the noise of the melee of mass media at the entrance to the school singled out “13”
The only difference from John’s account in the Bible is Jesus said to Peter, to whom the Pope is Successor, “Feed my Lambs” 1st in the sequence. This is said last in the Spirit of the Day as it is written, But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. Matthew 19:30
I always wore that #13 jersey going to meet Trudeau. Standing at the curb between him and the photographer as he got out of his limousine I said, “Prime Minister! Look at my sign. I had it made for you and the Premiers!” An artist friend drew it in beautiful calligraphy.
It read: “Woe to those who judge for hire and profit, but not for Justice and Truth!” Obviously, the Prime Minister liked it. Maybe it reminded him of when he started his Political career on the theme of a Just Society?
Three days later I was in the Prime Minister’s Suite of a downtown Ottawa hotel watching election returns with Michael John Houlton the Independent Candidate for Ottawa Centre and other friends. Those returns were interrupted with news of the election of Pope John Paul II. Trudeau lost 13 of the 15 by-election seats up for grabs. Trudeau’s election was scheduled. The election of the Pope was not.
The 1st time I reasoned it could just be a co-incidence. What you have just read is exactly the way it happened. What would you think if that was your True Life experience?
This moment deepened my sense of awe at the mysterious ways in which faith and divine timing operate. The death of Pope John Paul I marked the beginning of another chapter in the Year of Three Popes, leading to the election of Cardinal Karol Wojtyła as Pope John Paul II. His papacy would go on to shape the Church and the world in profound ways, but the brief reign of John Paul I remained a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the urgency of spiritual responsibility.
The dream of the keys, with its imagery of a child receiving the keys to the Vatican, took on even deeper meaning as I reflected on the seismic shifts in global power structures that unfolded in the late 20th century. One of the most significant of these was the Iranian Revolution of 1979, an event that not only ended the Persian monarchy—one of the oldest thrones in history—but also set in motion a chain of events that continues to shake the foundations of earthly powers to this day if you believe the MSM projecting a possible US-Israeli WAR with Iran.
The fall of the Shah in 1979 marked the end of a monarchy that had endured for over 2,500 years, predating even the Papacy. It was a moment of profound transformation, not just for Iran but for the world. The revolution replaced a secular, Western-aligned regime with an Islamic Republic, fundamentally altering the balance of power in the Middle East and beyond. The reverberations of this event are still felt today, as Iran remains a central player in global politics, religion, and culture.
The revolution was not merely a political upheaval; it was a spiritual and ideological awakening. It challenged the dominance of Western secularism and materialism, asserting the power of faith and tradition in shaping societies. In many ways, it echoed the themes of my dream—the handing over of the keys, the shaking of old systems, and the emergence of new ways of understanding power and authority.
The Iranian Revolution also highlighted the tension between earthly and spiritual authority. Just as the dream depicted the Pope descending from his throne to entrust the keys to a child, the revolution represented a shift from the opulence and excess of the Shah’s regime to the austere, faith-driven leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini. It was a reminder that true power often emerges from the margins, from those who are willing to challenge the status quo and embrace a higher calling.
This theme of transformation resonates with the broader narrative of my journey—from my encounters with Pierre Trudeau to the Year of Three Popes and the legacy of St. Francis of Assisi. Each of these moments reflects a divine shaking of earthly powers, a call to humility, service, and spiritual accountability. The Iranian Revolution, with its far-reaching consequences, is a stark reminder that no throne, no matter how ancient or powerful, is immune to the forces of change.
Centuries before my encounters with Trudeau and the papal nuncio, St. Francis of Assisi stood before Pope Innocent III in 1210, seeking approval for his radical vision of humility and simplicity. St. Francis’s commitment to serving the poor and living in harmony with creation challenged the opulence of the medieval Church. It took 800 years for a pope to take the name Francis, signalling a return to these values.
These videos of Francis of Assisi were posted to this Blog 2 years before Pope Francis I was elected
Pope Francis I, elected on this Day in 2013, has embodied this legacy, emphasizing humility, care for the poor, and environmental stewardship. His papacy is a reminder that the Church’s true strength lies not in its wealth or power but in its ability to reflect the love and compassion of Christ.
From my encounters with Trudeau to the lunch with the papal nuncio, and from the legacy of St. Francis to the papacy of Pope Francis I, my journey has been one of faith, humility, and divine timing. These moments—seemingly ordinary yet profoundly significant—remind us that true power lies not in titles or thrones but in the willingness to serve and uplift other
The dream of the keys, the shaking of earthly powers, and the ongoing transformation of global structures all point to a deeper truth: that divine timing and purpose are at work in the world, often in ways we cannot fully understand. Whether through the fall of ancient thrones, the rise of new leaders, or the quiet acts of faith and service, we are all part of a larger story—one that calls us to embrace humility, compassion, and the courage to feed the sheep.
As we navigate the challenges of our time, may we remember that the keys to the Kingdom are not meant to lock doors but to open them—to invite humanity into a space of love, compassion, and divine purpose.
To sum up, I had a hard time sleeping in anticipation of posting this article today, and I had this unusual dream:
I was in an elevator with an unknown, unrecognizable pope, and I was telling him he was wrong. Then, I was sitting in a pew of a packed church when Pope John Paul II, who passed away in 2005, came to me. He hugged me firmly, whispered in my ear, and the whole church saw it. Someone in the pew in front of me asked what had happened, and I answered, “It was proof of the resurrection of the dead.” After that, someone handed me a drink, saying, “You’re in charge,” and then I woke up.
The dream felt like a continuation of the spiritual journey I’ve been sharing with you. In the elevator with the unknown pope, I told him he was wrong—a moment that felt like a call to accountability, even within the highest levels of spiritual authority. Later, in the packed church, Pope John Paul II’s embrace and whispered message felt like a divine seal of approval, a reminder that those who have gone before us still guide and affirm our work. The resurrection of the dead, a cornerstone of Christian faith, became a living reality in that moment—a testament to the enduring power of truth and the interconnectedness of all who seek justice and humility.
God only knows what the tomorrows will bring? But as we navigate the challenges of our time, may we remember that the keys to the Kingdom are not meant to lock doors but to open them—to invite humanity into a space of love, compassion, and divine purpose.
Moving from Montreal to Ottawa in August 1977, for the last 7 years of his Administration until he quit in 1984, I was in the unique position to stand Face to Face with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau as he entered or left The Members Entrance to the House of Commons as the Spirit moved me from Time to Time, to speak or pass him a letter in an envelope. In all those years there were only 4 exceptions, the 2 Times mentioned in this article, and the last 2 Times on 2 consecutive nights at the main entrance to The House under the Peace Tower.
How I got into that position is explained in ‘About Ray Joseph Cormier’ at the top of this page.
In February 1984, I was questioned at length by the RCMP on my attitude toward him. I was as surprised as every other CanaDian when he announced he was quitting 2 weeks later on February 29 of the Leap Year.
While the RCMP have all the records, Canadians were not aware of those historical facts, and I was surprised to learn the Prime Minister moved from the House of Commons to the Cormier House in Montreal designed by Ernest Cormier who also designed and built The Supreme Court of CanaDa.
The Spirit never moved me to go up to the Hill again to speak to any other Prime Minister after him, including his son Justin Trudeau, recently compelled to step down as PM. The Internet didn’t exist at that Time.
