Man is happily racing to/causing it's own extinction as a species and the rest of the planet won't even notice. You would think the intelligent among us would know how we fit in with nature and how natural things work but no...our "advanced brains" are our downfall. We overthink everything and ignore everything at the same time. Our ability to reason, problem solve and strive out performs that of animals yes but often to our detriment and I see this species dying off because of this hyper focus and ego. We see the ill effects of having no purpose in life, no reason to get up in the morning. We see the ill effects of all the "comforts" and none of the trials, of being rescued and kept "safe" instead of self preservation. It affects the mind and the body.

We agreed that, despite the gallant efforts of many, for far too many years, the flame for fairness has been repeatedly ignored and snuffed out, again and again. The harsh reality is, if an insufficient number of westerners don’t take the issue of independence seriously, why should eastern Canadians?
Unsurprisingly my savvy friend raised a couple of points during our conversation that I have been gnawing on since. The first was nothing new, although for at least two reasons it has become more time sensitive.
First is the disastrous state of Canada and the fact that the federal Liberal government continues to chart a ...
Canada Can't Be Fixed. Alberta Needs to Chart Its Own Course
JEFFREY RATH:
Friends, I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. Alberta’s future does not lie within a broken, dysfunctional Canada. It lies in our own hands, building an independent Alberta, run by Albertans, for Albertans.
I had the privilege of addressing a room full of hardworking, freedom-loving Albertans recently. If you missed it, I want you to hear exactly what I told them. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the time for polite conversations is long gone.
The Truth They Don’t Want You to Hear
For over 100 years, Alberta has been treated like Ottawa’s colony. We’ve been stripped of wealth, muzzled by regulation, and told to sit quietly while Eastern politicians decide our fate. Meanwhile, our resources bankroll Quebec’s surpluses and our families pay the price with higher taxes, unemployment, and lost opportunities.
Ottawa’s latest trick? Universal Basic Income to create a nation of dependent voters. Lower the voting age ...
