A more majestic land (once), equally stolen, that didn't save it from our sort. (We don't have Thanksgiving.) I have lived close to or in the bush most of my life and love it, especially now I see it differently.

However, I have always puzzled over the coal issue, (although I shouldn't really), because I think there is more people there for renewables than against. Then there was Scomo. As if we all weren't in enough trouble.Honestly, it is not 'the people' but the lesser, monied interests, if your country is like ours. Our populace is more left-leaning than elections account for, our left suppression here by gerrymandering for example, and money as free speech, a likely offshoot of corporations as people.
The 'liberal' billionaire outcry over Warren taxing the ultra rich. 'That is too much!, a new one decries daily. She or Sanders won't make it. To prove it, more moderate democrats (capitalists) are persuaded to join a crowded primary race. Maybe, at least, we'll be spared a dotard Biden.
