Holy Shit…. Canada is going to mandate psychiatric medication for those that refuse mRNA injections or any kind of vaccination.

There is a film made in 1956 called ‘Port of Escape’. It concerns two men on the run from the police. At one point they go into a pub. Outside the pub a Salvation Army band is playing. What they are playing is, presumably, a hymn. The tune sounded very like the same tune to ‘The Carnival is Over.’ I did some research on the internet and found that Dutch hymn. American folk singer Peter Seeger wrote a song called “River of My People” in the 1950s using the same tune so the original Russian melody has been used for quite a few different purposes over the years.
If a man says that he identifies as a woman so that he can be put in a female gaol rather than a male goal, his declaration must be accepted. So the people who push the notion of gender identity tell us. We must, under no circumstances, question what the person asserts. If someone declares they identify as a woman they must be treated as a woman, no matter what their appearance clearly shows. Now, the liberal media in the USA, such as CNN, is questioning the Colorado suspect’s declaration that he is non-binary. There is the hypocrisy. If you or I questioned a person’s self-declaration we would be accused of all sorts of unpleasant things. But when they do it, it’s a different matter.
Seemingly, the English translation of the Dutch title to the hymn is: “I keep looking expectantly”.
Johannes de Heer lived from 1866 to 1961.
This is a Wikipedia article (in Dutch) about the hymn. It contains the text in Dutch. Google or other computer translators will give you an approximation of the words in English.

Thanks for this Hymn and for all the Songs for Sunday 🙏🏻
My mum is Dutch and she loved it she also translated it sort of 💗when Dutch is translated into Aussie it’s always back to front 🙃
Prayers to you and yours for a blessed 2023
