Toronto Truth Seekers (TTS) was formed originally by members of Toronto 9/11 Truth groups active since 2004.  911 was a momentous way many people learned and continue to learn about what is really going on in our world from the point of view of those who control what goes on behind the scenes, caring nothing for the amount of the depth of tragedy, trauma and corruption they are causing to achieve their final agenda. However; 911 is a stepping stone, and since those events, TTS has since expanded …

The inspiration for a network of practitioners came to me when my Mom was in a nursing home far from here. By the grace of God I found a Reiki Master like myself through the internet in the Catskills! I was able to contact her and bond with her; paid her to give Mom a treatment. Soon Mom was ready to depart, and this very loving practitioner met me at the hospital; we both gave Reiki to Mom during her transition. She is a Sister In Healing! From that gifted experience I've had in mind to create …

If Canadians spent as much time writing politicians about their concerns as they spend buying, making and drinking coffee, we would have the good, democratic governments and responsible big businesses we want. Politicians get very worried if only a few hundred voters write to them. Unlike the Tea Party movement in the U.S., the CoffeeParty.ca movement is pushing only for well- …
