I have no way of really knowing for sure if they were Jewish because I can't go back any further than my great grand father on my father's side. I know this name Meyers is a Jewish Germanic name. I suspect they may have been Ashkenazic. They are all very dark complected.

Mental health care is just as important as the physical health care (neither of which has been very good, though there are signs this may be changing thank goodness).<br />I was just recently watching John Oliver's show about Canada's election:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V5ckcTSYu8<br />(Keep in mind he's a comedian!)thesycamoretreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182019323050600440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010615860459158362.post-87933629003682641892015-11-12T01:55:27.593-04:002015-11-12T01:55:27.593-04:00I hear ya Bev.
I think especially here in Canada...I hear ya Bev. <br /><br />I think especially here in Canada the past ten years of Harper as Prime Minister he desecrated Veterans Affairs and then when Remembrance Day would come around he would make a big show.<br /><br />Fact is we have Veterans living on the street, homeless suffering with PTSD or just not getting help. He shut down offices for the Vets all over the country. <br /><br />Yes it's important to remember the sacrifice especially those that lost their lives but there are Vets living and their families that are being forgotten.<br /><br />Canadians are all feeling hopeful that a dark veil has been lifted and now we have a new energetic and principled young Prime Minister. <br /><br />Harper messed up this country so bad in so many ways. The only reason he got in the last time is because not enough people voted. Boy did that change this time round!

It's as though leaders are playing war games based on opinions and power struggles. At least in WWII, we were fighting someone intent on world domination and the eradication of a people. That was a more moral, ethical reason for war to me.thesycamoretreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182019323050600440noreply@blogger.com
