Happy Canada Day to all who live in this wonderful country. The Pandemic is still with us as we approach a new normal and we are unsure of what will bring us together and what may tear us apart.

The issues are important, but we have the ability to sit down and talk about our differences in a civil and respectful way.

The happy children in Saskatchewan said to say, “Hi!” The oil workers in Alberta said, “Thanks for the laugh!” The realtor in Quebec asked, “Are you sure about the farmer’s market?” The dancer in PEI whispered, “Don’t tell a soul…” And the sage in BC said, “If you travel be respectful of your hosts, and you have exactly what you need to travel!”
Tell me do you have any recollection of all your other-worldly to-ings and fro-ings, yet? Or are we still pretending we are not in one of the greatest countries in the world?
