Canine Confessions
Laskin Publishing / Les Éditions Laskin
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
And I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep …”
— Robert Frost
MONTRÉAL
(May 19, 2013) An erudite dog's perspective on life in and around Montréal and
the Laurentians during the 1970s unearths a meticulously crafted tale about the
human condition. As we follow Daisy, a flaxen-haired cocker spaniel, on her
life's journey, we join others in theirs: Monique and Harry and their three
children; feisty Aunt Iréne; Monique's cougar friend Marina and her dalliance
with Monique's son; Brunhilde the singing teacher; a pair of sociopathic
cockatoos and, through their language and music, they share their stories with
Daisy, the all-seeing, all-hearing witness.
With her
lyrical and poetic writing, Montréal author and musician/conductor Bernadette
Griffin shares her love of classical and 60s music alongside the great poets
Rilke, Whitman and Frost. Like Racing in the Rain, Canine Confessions
gives us a mind- and heart-expanding view of the world as experienced by
man's best friend.
As Gazette
literary critic Ian McGillis wrote, “Bernadette Griffin renders a dog's-eye
view more vividly than most writers render a human's. I
will never forget Daisy, and you will never forget Canine Confessions.”

I was born in La ville de Québec
and went to school there. And as early as Grade One, I fell in love
with learning—and with the piano in the school lobby. For every morning,
a thunderous version of The Maple Leaf Forever was played on it, marching us two by two into the lobby and up into the classrooms, like soldiers marching into battle.
Soon
enough I was having piano lessons with Sister Camilla Gertrude—that is,
eight years of lessons, plus exams and recitals and going to Saturday
afternoon symphony concerts at the Palais Montcalm with maestro Wilfrid Pelletier.
What will I do now? I asked myself on leaving high school, my piano books now stuffed away in a drawer. First , you better leave home, I thought, the world is waiting and it may tell you who you are and what to do.
So I went to Montréal and to nursing school, and after graduation and
caring for patients and teaching students as a clinical instructor,
again I asked, What now?
“You
can marry me,” my piano-playing musician boyfriend said, and I did, and
we made a home, a real home with children and a dog and a cat—and a
piano. And there I was, caring for my children and playing the piano,
playing, playing, scales, chords, arpeggios, studies, inventions,
partitas, sonatas, until the Royal Conservatory of Toronto said,
“enough, take this diploma.”
Soon
I was in my studio, teaching others to play the piano, all the while
also singing at church and soon directing the church choir. Why not learn about singing now and conducting a choir with and without orchestra? I thought, and I did, founding the Donovan Chorale, a concert choir, and later Les Chanteurs d’Orphée de Montréal ,
a chamber ensemble dedicated to the performance of contemporary works,
the two groups singing and singing, their singing so fresh, so
heartfelt, enough to win the praise of music lovers and critics alike,
not to mention one prize after another, their performances regularly
airing on CBC radio and Radio-Canada.
What will I do now? I asked myself, looking at my bank account. First go to school again, learn more about the languages you speak, French and English, read and study.
And I did, read and study until Concordia University said, “hey, you
deserve a diploma for all that, you can translate from one language to
another, medical texts and documents.” And I did, all the while learning
how to write my own words and sentences and stories, and that is what
all of it has come to… trying to make it all true and beautiful.

Why Human Beings Do Not Need Blind Faith to Believe in Creationism
The Most Extraordinary Discovery:
The
most extraordinary discovery in the field of religion in thousands of
years, one that will affect Western civilization’s both secular and
religious people, is the research findings of the sync between the
Biblical story of creation with the teachings of modern science, and
with this proof of creationism blind faith is no longer needed.
Science teaches that the world was formed over 4 billion years ago, life started in the oceans, dinosaurs were not a mistake as birds evolved from them, the Sun was created at the same time as the Earth, etc. Now we learn that there is no conflict with the scrolls of Moses if we translate them using the etymologic derivate meanings of the key Hebrew words with their intended usage in the time period of the Exodus. That proper translation then gives us a story making the Bible (Torah, Old Testament) literally in sync with the teachings of modern science and ending all conflicts between them as this proof of creationism means blind faith is no longer needed.
The research findings in question have been detailed in our book “WHY HUMAN BEINGS DO NOT NEED BLIND FAITH TO BELIEVE IN CREATIONISM.” This work should cause a new perspective on life for both religious and non-religious people. Religious people no longer need blind faith and non-religious people have to face a world that has proven there is a Supreme Being (otherwise how could the Bible have known all the scientific facts of the creation story showing their sync between Bible and science that proved creationism?).

The Light Of Innocence Free Download Today!
From the Author:
During
my years from childhood to adulthood, I often wondered why I should
believe that Mary gave birth to Jesus while she was a virgin, which
indicated that Joseph was not biologically, the father of Jesus.
Concluding that it is the New Testament that made the story real,
I conducted an in-depth study into the life of Christ Jesus. It seemed
Jesus was at an advantage because he was born from a spiritual Father
but so was Adam who sinned, which would prove the situation fair. Since
that Jesus is the last Adam and Alpha then we who have been born with
biological parents serve the purpose of replenishing the earth, which is
the mystery in the Word of God. We must adopt to the life and death of
Jesus to understand his mystery and it is for such a reason that I have
done a self-study. I have studied only the King James Version of the
Holy Bible to discover Christian living and was overwhelmed with the
misconception of such a life. My many discoveries I kept in perspective
by writing and after several pages I decided to share the facts with you
all.
The Light of Innocence is from the fact of not knowing, yet I celebrated according to the system I lived in. I am a light because diligently I worked to uncover the mystery and live according to the truth that I discovered. The titles I have chosen, list my progress as I walked in the way of Christ Jesus and since that I am a new beginner that is a converted child of God, my concept on Christian living is true. Part two of this book is the strength of my belief; after discovering the laws of the spirit and situations wherein we must separate from unfaithful Christians, I literally experienced that God never will leave or forsake us. He does this for everyone, except those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit and since his saints are the direct opposite, discovering that, which characterizes a saint was written in this section. I knew then that I had a good relationship with the Son of God.
Part one deals with the basics: Christ Kingdom on the earth. I emphasized that we must understand, grow and sustain our spirit to have a good relationship with our Lord, Jesus. That which is put in place such as eternal life and the house of prayer is to help us sustain our relationship with Jesus and avoid the temptations that may lead us back into the world. A reminder that the world is everyone and that we are dealing with current issues just as the world is, yet the children of God are expected to overcome the world. The Light of Innocence is one way to deal with the current issues.
Last but not least are two articles that are to remind the children of God of their task and that our Lord is hated by many. These articles should make us aware of the people we are up against.

About Author
I grew up in a respected community in Jamaica, West
Indies where I attended church regularly on Sunday mornings. Going to
church was like a hobby, one that I gained some knowledge on Christian's behavior, and though I started at a young age, it was my will to
attend church. However, both my parents were disciplined to grow up a
child like me. My mom however, God rest her soul, was the parent that
emphasized the fact that I should pray before bedtime, and before the
days begin. This is a tradition that I have continued to the present
time. Now that my wisdom has increased, I am grateful to Almighty God,
because I have been led by him, from then to the present to write this
book for the world to read.
Growing up in Jamaica, I idled out my high school years, but was fortunate to migrate to Canada within a year after my graduation. My schooling years in Canada have not been much of a success either, but I have never strayed away from God's will. After I watched and listened to the many faces and voices that have preached and taught the gospel of Christ Jesus, I disciplined myself to begin a self-study of the Holy Bible (KJV). It was about the year nineteen ninety-seven or ninety-eight that I started such a study of the Holy Bible, which resulted in my book, The Light of Innocence.

enthralling.
Ava
Sevani ignored her father’s warning, sent to her from beyond the
Canadian border where he had been hiding. Too late, she realized that
she should have, as men began chasing her across Germany, leaving
countless bodies in their wake. A continent away, her fiancée, Dr.
David Badalian, also needs to warn the pregnant Ava away from danger,
but, since he was kidnapped immediately upon his arrival at Chicago’s
O’Hare airport, his current dire straits render him unable to let her
know that her life, and his, hang in the balance.
Ava’s
former lover, Canadian pipeline tycoon Dirk Brown, is determined to
reclaim Ava. Known to Homeland Security as a mercenary going by the
name ‘Nail’, he has taken Dr. Badalian, intending to use him to relieve
his pain from a spinal injury, and also to coerce Ava to come back into
his life. In addition, Ava’s father’s formula, a deadly mixture, is on
his list of wants, putting Ava in more danger than she, her father, or
her fiancée can imagine. Nail’s manic desire to rid the world of the
Republic of Islam is putting the world under a powerful threat, and it
falls to Ava to help diffuse the danger he presents before it’s too
late.

The Sin Of Forgiveness
Today's "forgiveness" does just the opposite of what forgiveness is
meant to accomplish - put another way, secular forgiveness causes more
harm than good. The one forgiving is never made whole again, while the
sinner is left in the same wretched condition. But true Christian
forgiveness brings a blessing to all. We are to forgive, but it must be
according to the example and teachings of Christ. Anything less is a
sin.

Cure Your Democracy Today for 99 cents
Drop the word “multiculturalism” and half of them will have an immediate allergy-like reaction. Their faces will turn red with fever as they glide away from you. Drop the phrase “lamestream media” and the other half will cringe and hold their brow with a splitting headache as they back away from you.
These otherwise normal Americans are obviously suffering from something. The author in this pioneering book has discovered what that is: severe, extremely contagious viral illnesses that are plaguing the entire country. He reveals here in layman’s terms the infection, spread and treatment of these viruses. They make us insanely ill and susceptible to conspiracy theories, and are so easily passed between individuals by speeches, handshakes and karaoke.
He discovers Viral Media is not just a figurative expression. One morning an infamous radio personality spouts off a misinformed, belligerent opinion. By that afternoon the author’s research subjects are repeating it with the same fever and refudiation. The viral words of the opinion had infected them and seemed to have taken possession of their minds like some voodoo zombie incantation.
No one is safe and many are contaminated. Treatments are provided so that they may become virus free and regain the ability to associate with those “other” Americans—those infected with the opposing virus.
If you are tired of the partisan arguing in our great country, this book is guaranteed to lift you to higher ground and make you LOL.
From the Publisher
If the status quo of politics-as-usual causes a profound need in your brain for levity, this book is meant for you. It satirizes both camps of the finger pointing, bumper sticker mentality, while offering thought-provoking vantage points to view them.
As partisan passions grow ever more heated under America’s current political climate - further intensifying global warming - the rancor of debate becomes more foul and repelling. The narrator is a fictional researcher who has discovered the cause of this: highly contagious, heretofore undiagnosed viruses that plague the entire country. This tongue-in-cheek metaphor provides for the perfect examination of what ails America. It also allows the narrator to give satiric diagnoses and hilarious observations which are a most effective medicine for its remedy.
He reveals here in layman’s terms the infection, spread and treatment of these viruses. He interviews many of the fictionally infected incorporating various stimulants - such as burning the American Flag or watching Fox News - to measure the viruses’ parasitic effects. He discovers individuals consumed by viral illness in which they believe Pollsters to be scantily clad dancers who use polls to hold onto while they strip tease and seductively ask what your opinions are. Others believe Women’s Liberation was actually women breaking free from their prisons of suburban boxes filled with torture instruments of stoves and ironing boards, chained to Electrolux Vacuums and glued to daytime soap-operas.
Viral media is true. People really do become infected. No one is safe and many are contaminated. No need to worry as the author provides treatments that America sorely needs if it is to become well and regain its sense of red-blooded humor.
Humor is an essential treatment for the condition of Democracy.
