Against the Tide - The Cajun Story - Documentary
#ShowMyURL

In the past few weeks, I have been searching the net, including YouTube for material that could help me in sharing some of the things that motivates me with lots of passion and determination. When I decided to leave Facebook, it created a sense of freedom. Once I was introduced to Hive, it became clear that freedom was abound. In mid March 2023, on Hive, let the record show #lolz, I became very determined to test boundaries and introduce my version of token economics. So here we are, 6 months into the journey, I have made many posts, provided much feedback, comments, upvotes, shared tips and interactions with many new online friends. I am most impressed with the journey so far. We have much father to go. The Hive technology is clearly providing all kinds of opportunity for future growth in many areas. I say, many areas, including shared community interest, everyone has likes and dislikes, expertise, however, I always like to focus on some commonalities. That usually leads me to learn more about people that are often most responsible for keeping an economy alive. The folks at the bottom of the pyramid. What can be done to improve the well being of such a community? The answer is a better reward system. I see Hive reward system as being much better than a Facebook, twitter, Google, Amazon, the list is long cause you have to include all types of affiliate marketing programs to best understand what kind of traffic is moving what kind of currency. Before we get into the documentary, please understand that #PEPT is not about fund raising with some marketing about a token potentially going to the moon. There is no roadmap or white paper. It is a project to improve on an existing traffic exchanging medium that is not equitable for all who contribute and move traffic to meet the ever increasing demand for more content. By the way, the reason I left Facebook was because of the business model designed to profit mostly from negative energy.

Now to the documentary. When I look at my own history, the part I have lived and remember, including several traumatic events, I can draw analogies. Not an algorithm but an analogy.

I live in Fredericton, the Capital City of New Brunswick. I was born in the Acadian Peninsula, in the area now called Tracadie-Sheila. On my mother's side, Comeau, they were from Sheila and my father's side were from Rivière-à-la-Truite, just outside of Tracadie center. I was able to trace the Comeau name to year 1000. The Comeau would have been part of the first families to settle Acadia. The Arseneault came about 30 years later.

In 1965, our family was forced to move because the government was making a change to the highway route so the power company decided to follow. That left many families without power to their home and guess what, families had to move outside of their comfort zone. Well, this is where we start to see how Acadian DNA is designed to survive outside of its comfort zone. There are certain core values that get passed along to all generations and for those who possess such values, they cannot deviate from a chosen path of honesty, love and desire to be happy with what they have but knowing how to continuously improve the environment for the well being of others.

So lets watch the documentary to the point where Acadians were not allowed to speak their own language in their own community.

As indicated in the documentary, Acadians were rejected because of language and spiritual belief system. The next photos and links lead to earlier postings where I start to introduce new ways of looking at an existing system

My adopted sister

Rose's grandmother was Mi'kmaq and when I did my genealogy research I was able to link the her Robichaud lineage to distance cousin of Arseneault. I still feel her spirit everyday and in a few days, her son from Halifax HRM will be visiting us for a few days so we can visit other family members.

In the documentary when they talked about being rejected because of language I am reminded of my new home in Central New Brunswick where I started to learn the English language. My father was a skilled lumbermen and ferrant (farrier/shoes horses) and looked after crews for the largest lumber land owners in Central New Brunswick. He did not get paid for his worth and was cheated on more than one occasion. It was a brutal time that lead to family separation. In grade 5, I made a promise to myself that I would learn to speak English better than the teachers giving me the strap because they hated my language. Maybe it was because I was not Anglican. It matters not anymore.

In 1969, mom and family settled in Marysville and wouldn't you know it, the town rose from the ashes of the Acadians expulsion.

The 60s and 70s brought progress as per language issues in New Brunswick and Canada. You often see association of Acadians to Nova Scotia but today, the majority of Acadians live in New Brunswick.

The first Acadian elected premier of NB (1960), he introduced far-reaching social reforms through the centralizing Programme of Equal Opportunity.

1969
New Brunswick enacted its first Official Languages Act, making the province Canada’s first, and only, officially bilingual province.

Today, we still have some politicians challenging the need for two official languages. In a way, perhaps it is a good thing to ensure that pro-active measures are in-place to combat inevitable overreaction depending on content being aggressively shared online.

The following post is about adapting to change. All changes that can influence your decision process and has an impact on your community. It is not about me or you but about us. For that to work you need hope but not just hope for the best. You need to learn the ways of the masters.

In the following post we acknowledge effort that can be so great that results can manifest joy and value beyond expectation.

I hope you enjoyed the documentary. I know I will be watching it again and now I have a link that I can share all over the world that defines the foundation of a new token and traffic exchanging community.

As we progress in our traffic exchanging journey, you will start to see more measurable results. We are now moving from Proof-of-Concept to production. The experiment was successful and now we cycle through many iteration of process improvements.

#Luv and positive energy to all.
