This article in the G&M points out a huge imbalance between politically charged ideology aided by indoctrination (mostly through spreading fear) and too little common and economic sense. People like Trudeau and Canadian Greens will likely never figure out what Norway did and continues doing; even if they did, we’ll be 10-15 years behind... Sad... https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-norways-embrace-of-the-petrostate-paradox-sets-example-for-canadas/
Excellent piece - very inspiring. The people (politicians) who are alwasys trying to "fix things" also seem to be the ones who have grown up with a silver spoon in their mouth. Just stroking their own egos. Toxic is a good word to describe them.
Very nice story about the equal opportunity in Canada to succeed.
I’m your vintage and remember Pogo … “we’ve seen the enemy and it’s us”
The government isn’t going to
get out of the way . We are going to have to push it out of the way.
To do that we need to get engaged.
You ran for Mayor of Collingwood and made it a better race for doing so.
Most people don’t know who our MP is , can’t name their riding .
Many issues … for example more “conservative” women need to get involved in the dirty business of politics. I see signs of that happening.
🤞

Great story !
Love this report. Powerful! you have had quite a life. You succeeded where many have not. Good on you.
Enjoyed the read, I forwarded it on to a few family members, as it sums up my views of Canada.
I said, if you want to know how I feel about Canada, read this.
Debt, Housing, Climate, LGBTQ, Systemic Racism, Low interest rates & house prices.
The climb in public sector compensation is an irritant. Inflation indexed Federal Pensions is an irritant.
Good leaders surround themselves with competent ministers, I believe Canada currently has a collection of low competency federal ministers.
