#CatStevens - #peacetrain
Ich mag seine Songs auch heute noch
Das gute Gewissen der #70er 😉
Das ist ganz #grossartig. Langsam kommt der "#PeaceTrain" in #Bewegung und wir in #Europa fiebern mit, dass die #Menschen in den #USA den #Autoritarismus dieser faschistoiden #Trumpbewegung bekämpfen und ihn schliesslich #besiegen. Es darf niemals so werden, wie in #Russland, wo schon die kleinste #Kritik am #Regime mit #Gefängnis bestraft wird. Wer sich nicht wehrt, lebt verkehrt !

October 1, 1971 ... Cat Stevens releases his 5th album. Cat wrote a children's book to accompany it. The album was a massive commercial success, featuring several of Stevens' most enduring songs. Oh, and that's Rick Wakeman doing some keyboard work on "Morning Has Broken." Listen to Teaser And The Firecat on Amazon Music ... #catstevens #teaserandthefirecat #morninghasbroken #peacetrain #70smusic #rock #rickwakeman #folkrock #70srock #rockmusic…
The #peacetrain leaves today at 3PM from Vancouver!
2/2 These “peacetrainers” are headed to Ottawa armed with a petition (sponsored by Gord Johns) to urge all parties in Canada to support Canada returning to its traditional and respected role as a nation of Peacekeepers and a nation that supports, “human rights, peace, diplomacy and international institutions committed to justice and humanitarian values”
A friend of mine, Keith Wyton from Bamfield, BC is leading the effort and there are actually many folks from #PortAlberni going but also from other parts of BC, Winnipeg, and more once they get to Ontario! You can read more about the effort here:
You can see their petition which closed on November 8, 2024 here: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5126
Their ask is “to establish and fund a Centre of Excellence for Peace and Justice focused on research, education and training in conflict resolution, diplomacy, and peace operations for Canadian civilians, police, military personnel, and the international community. “
You can follow their train tomorrow (#2) here: https://tsimobile.viarail.ca/
There will be vigils at the train stops across the Country and a rally on Parliament Hill on November 23! (see attached or Event Schedule here: https://www.sarita.net/peacetraincanada/)
They will have a live Youtube stream of them departing tomorrow! I'll post a link then!

1/2 Tomorrow, November 15 2024, a VIA Rail train will depart Vancouver, BC with some special travellers.
It is being dubbed the #PeaceTrain
"From Nov. 15-22, 40 or so people will travel on VIA Rail from Vancouver to Ottawa to ask the Canadian government to establish and fund a Centre of Excellence for Peace and Justice focused on research, education, and training in conflict resolution, diplomacy, and peace operations.”
