"Water Cremation" - also known as hydrolysis,
involves water, heat and an alkaline solution being applied to a body in a chamber similar to that used in cremation.
And while the current method of reducing a person’s remains to ashes requires enormously high temperatures,
those in favour of water cremation say it is far less energy intensive and therefore more environmentally friendly.

Sir James Douglas (August 15, 1803 – August 2, 1877) who was a Canadian fur trader and politician who became the first Governor of the Colony of British Columbia. He is often credited as "The Father of British Columbia." Douglas was born in Guyana to a wealthy Scottish planter and a free woman of colour. He was educated in Scotland, and in 1819, at age 16, he went to Canada to work for the North West Company and then the Hudson's Bay Company. After a long career managing remote outposts, in 1851, he became Chief Factor at Fort Vancouver. In 1858, he became Governor of the Colony of British Columbia, where he oversaw gold rushes and fought against American annexation.

Trump’s stories serve to exaggerate his foresight about and knowledge of domestic and foreign affairs,
embellish his biography and record in office, and diminish his political opponents.
The stories tend to be colorful even though they’re fake.
Trump’s historical fiction is sprinkled with vivid details and make-believe quotes,
all the better to make it seem authentic and get it to stick in the minds of voters.
