While it may be nice to see the prices at the pumps continue to drop, the glee we feel in saving a few dollars will soon turn to grief as the long-term effects ripple through our individual pocketbooks and the Canadian economy.
If this pandemic/oil price war is not an in-your-face example of just how little say we as individuals have in our own destiny I don’t know what is.
Stay safe people.
Look after your family to the best of your ability.
Be kind to your neighbours and — having observed the actions of elected leaders at home and abroad as this crisis continues to unfold — please stop going into the ballot box and putting an X beside present and future politicians without having a clue as to why you are voting for that person.
