The Origin Of Riff Vandal

Olive & Bob Garbutt [inset ~ Michael Garbutt]

 

Around about 40 odd years ago, I moved into your area code
Speaking about Evolution, getting framed on the road
I found out for myself about love & life, it can be cruel and unkind
So please treat & sate yourself to this place I've called home, its become a WILDERNESS to my mind

 

 

To date, Michael Garbutt has invested 50 years of his life as a responsible and accountable adult since he immigrated to Canada as a Journeyman, nowadays termed JourneyPerson Automotive Mechanic in 1978, as well as after winning The Guinness Trophy from AutoTech College for Graduating as the most proficient, final year craft student in 1978.

Then Mike served for 43 years in Monogamy in Canada as a responsible and accountable parent & partner, and worked in Canada's Healthcare system for 30+ years, during which time he earned 3 Medical Science degrees and 4 diplomas in Automotive Mechanics and Medical Laboratory Sciences, where he once again, won the most proficient final year craft student graduating in the final year practicing medical laboratory science.

If if wasn't for Racial Discrimination in Healthcare & everywhere else, including The Police & Justice system, Mike would still be working in Medical Sciences. Instead, "Someone" or "Group" has forced Mike into poverty & Mike has been Arrested & Physically & Chemically Incarcerated 6 times for NO reason, & Mike lives under the threat of Indefinite Physical & Chemical Incarceration by the Police EVAERY DAY.

Sad ending to the Canadian Adventure, eh?

 

 

Michael Garbutt followed His mother, Olive Garbutt to Canada after She married a "trick" & Mike legally immigrated to Canada after 3 applications & waiting 4 years in London, UK to do so.

Sadly, its turned out that I married someone who acted more with "Imp Unity" rather than a new cell, "A Rose, A Blade & The Ace Of Spades" or in Wrestling terms, A One Man Gang, Hardened & Tempered and just enough Drop Shadow to fit in with different cultures on the road all the while. ..

I've persevered BECAUSE I want my Son to be able to reflect upon his days "growing up" with a married couple to refer to rather than a million Moms & Dads, so to speak. ..

Three Reasons To Be Cheerful : ))

i. The Art of War is better than the real thing. ..

ii. The Art of God: Don't wake the Devil as there is more to Truth than the spoken word. ..

iii. The Art of Love: I'd like to help you with that, however, I'm trying to figure out how to get my hole tonight, lol. ..

Winnipeg, Manitoba & Canada need a conversation on Healthcare Ethics!

NOW is as good a time as any to begin the conversation. ..

The Transient Return Of The Ring by the Garbutt Family. ..

Mike Garbutt -AKA- Riff Vandal on facebook, immigrated to Canada from the United Kingdom in his mid 20's, and shortly afterwards met a young woman, fell in love and married. Mike spent the next 43 years of his life in a monogamous relationship which is ongoing, as a responsible and accountable husband and father to a Wife one Son Two K9s, 4 felines, birds and lots of flora too. ..

Mike has lived & worked for 52 years of his life away from home on the road, during which time he saved enough money (when he could find a job!) so as to be able to afford 15 years of post-secondary education; 15 years full-time education living and working away from home on the road, 5 years living and working away from Home in London, UK studying Automotive Technology and 10 years in Healthcare in Calgary & Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where he spent the most recent 40 years either working as a Medical Laboratory Scientist a Medical Researcher & Vaccine Developer where he helped develop an efficacious EBOLA vaccine that's saved hundreds of thousand of lives in the DRC so far and as a palliative care musician amid vulnerable people with limited functional capacities for 15 years & every aspect of Canada's politics, healthcare, justice & police state, His Home. ..

Plus, Mike served the community for 26 years playing host on the Musicians Network (Winnipeg, MB), which nowadays has a facebook page sharing local Winnipeg memes. ..

Its hard to believe that the first of two career ending work related injuries I've sustained in my life occurred 40+ years ago this year. Then after I hurt my back humping a rear axle truck spring on my own (hot tip = don't do that!) I spent 10 agonizing years sitting down in the classroom becoming a medical scientist and vaccine developer to earn an income (hot tip = definitely don't do that!!)

I've also spent time at home, schooling myself on Canadian culture and whatnot, and I reckon 43 years serving in Monogamy in Canada in Animal Husbandry & Matrimony as a responsible and accountable parent & partner of a Wife, a Son, Two K9s, 4 felines, birds and lots of flora too, and worked in Canada's Healthcare system for 30+ years, during which time he earned 3 Medical Science degrees and 4 diplomas in Automotive Mechanics and Medical Laboratory Sciences, where he once again, won the most proficient student graduating in the final year practicing medical laboratory science from SAIT and The Calgary General Hospital between 1984 & 1986 deserves celebrating. ..

Please lead by example, follow with respect, be at home with yourself and keep your guard up, tell the truth, support your position, stand your ground and watch your back too, take care, be kind and enjoy life, it's its own reward. ..

And please remember that there are only crimes and twists of fate. ..
