Beautifully written, wise, and worthy of deep reflection. How in a world where everyone's attention is tyrannized by social media, their cell phones, and the pressures of work and lifestyle do we re-awaken appreciation of nature and the realization of its fundamental importance to all Albertans and future generations?
Sadly, we know who will pay. The next generation, and the natural world. This is a great summary of how things really work in the world, sadly. I wonder if it will ever change, as the noose of environmental disaster tightens. Canada had its hottest day on record yesterday. We were wreathed in smoke, unable to go outside, and we are miles from those suffering with fires. People ask me why I don't read dystopian fiction. We are living it. Please keep up your excellent exposure of the underbelly of these righteous ones, determined to put profit over people, every time.
All levels of government are affected. Our vote means nothing.
My municipal councillor says he listens but the developer building the cruise ship high apartment block next to my house obviously had his ear.
My local MLA is a member of the opposition so her protestations are as meaningless and ineffective as mine.
Federally my new MP is following the party line of supporting a genocide, increasing military spending, subsidising Ukraine's Nazi government and bloody war against its ethnic russian population, keeping Latvia safe with a Battalion of Edmonton's finest and promoting pipelines.
She never responds to my emails.
Perhaps it is time for some type of Direct Action.

Indeed. With the UCP in power, it will likely be the taxpayer - just like for abandoned oil wells.
