Our West Island Tour

This evening I gave Christy the option - either we could eat the whole cooked chicken we bought at Super C for $9.99 along with the wonderful battered fries we buy from Cavendish Farm - or we go on a bit of a tour - to Costco and then MacAllan's Pub.  It would sound like the choice was inevitable - save for the fact that there was one proviso - if we go to the pub - tomorrow night we will eat the chicken and not go to Nikas for dinner!  Before I got the words out of my mouth - her decision was made!

So at just after 5pm tonight we pointed the car westward.  We were at Costco inside 40 minutes - a normally 15 min drive without traffic.  It was crowded at the Pointe Claire warehouse - and all we were going for was to buy 2 hot dogs - one to share for our lunch the following day and one for Christy to put into her Kraft Dinner!  We knew the hot dogs were $1.50 each - what we didn't know was that this was with a 20oz unlimited refill soft drink!  So for $3.45 we got two huge hot dogs and two drinks!  We felt like bandits!

And then it was on to MacAllan's Pub - on Hymus at Sources.  My great friend, Wayne Blunt has done an amazing job with the place - making it the place to go for live entertainment on the West Island pretty much every day.  Tonight was no exception!  Christy and I got there at 6:30pm, ordered a couple of beers and then went to play free billiards on one of their three tables.  After playing a couple of games, we ordered cheese 'n bacon burgers and fries - which are two for one on Wednesdays!  Not only are they a great deal, the burgers are amazing!  As we were finishing our food, the night's event began to unfold - karaoke!  We were treated to some really great singers - singing a bunch of songs we knew!  It was fantastic!

This is a short post, but with a message.  Sometimes we have to go outside of NDG to find what we need.  This evening we discovered a little goldmine in Costco's restaurant.  You are supposed to be a member to get in, but although we are members, no one asked to see our card as we headed to the little resto.  If you are in the mood for a great hot dog and fries - or a great smoked meat ($7.99) and fries or chicken tenders and fries ($6.99) hit them up!  

And then there is MacAllan's Pub - it is a beautiful place with great staff and a wonderful owner.  Wayne has done an amazing job in crafting a super, reasonable menu and specials - and in putting together a weekly lineup of very attractive and fun events.  Give him a visit - I promise you it won't be your last!

All my love,

Heaven Right Here on Somerled (and elsewhere!)

Image
There are places on this earth where the veil is thinner, where the air seems to shimmer with something more than oxygen — where Heaven leans in and whispers, I have already begun. I did not always know this. But I began learning it on a mountain with God — December 25 to 31, 2003 — seven days, seven Says, seven revelations burned into my heart like coordinates on a spiritual map. A time when I understood, not theoretically but viscerally, that Heaven was not a far-off prize but a present possibility… a Kingdom that desires to erupt right where we stand , if only we allow ourselves to see. More than twenty years later, that truth still unfolds in front of me in the most unlikely ways. In NDG. On Somerled. Between two storefronts. In the witness of strangers who don't yet know they’re angels. And most recently, in the story of another Montrealer whose quest echoes my own: Ashkan Karbasfrooshan — founder of WatchMojo , architect of Context Is King , and now a surprising figure in th...

From Moneyed to Moneyless

The G3 Limitless Debit Card and the Birth of a NuVo World There are moments in history when humanity doesn’t simply turn a page — it turns a corner. Quietly, almost imperceptibly at first, and yet with the unmistakable gravity of destiny gathering itself for a leap. What we are building through the G3 Limitless Debit Card is precisely such a moment. It is not just a new product. Not simply a tool. Not a financial instrument. It is the hinge on which an entire world will swing open. It is the gateway to a Moneyless Economy , the architecture for a new society, and the first spark of a NuVo world — a world where every life has enough, every person belongs, and every community thrives without the tyranny of currency. And like all revolutions that endure, it begins one community at a time. Phase One: The Endowment — A People Empowered, A Community Transformed Imagine a neighbourhood — NDG, Somerled, Côte-des-Neiges, wherever the Spirit breathes — waking up one morning to discover that ...

The Key to the Universe

Image
My story is a long and amazing journey.  In January of 2004, as I lay comatose in a bed in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit of the Montreal General Hospital for 3 days - a reel played on continuous loop in my heart and mind.  It followed my entire life - from my most junior years - to a time which at that point I had not even experienced.  God gave the name of this journey - ' Come Away With Me.  The ongoing story of the life of Ross Harvey .' It is 20 years later and this name - and the journey have stayed ever-present in my heart and mind.  God told me that He would create a series of movies about my journey and would follow this by continuous live streamed episodes - as myself and a group of 300 'Pioneers' traveled across the worlds - seeking out new horizons. Please get my books; Come Away with Me and Rebel With A Cause - which together form the collective of my life's journey - my memoirs.   For the movies, God has told me that there will be no ...
