Humans are superior adapters. We are wired to normalize even the most heinous situations. It is hard work to push against these instincts in ourselves and others.

The situation applies here in Canada although I don’t know the numbers. Anecdotally, I see this frequently in my work with seniors. Our community centre is there for them but there are big gaps in the support we are able to provide.

Disdain with a side of cranberry #Canada?

When I consider the corrupt and incompetent #U.S.officials with whom #Canada has been saddled under this administration, it is astonishing what we have endured with grace. #Cdnpoli

Lutnick The Loser Threatens Canada. Our Answer? Bring It On.

This isn’t a negotiation. It’s a threat from the sitting U.S. Secretary of Commerce, who thinks Canada will just roll over. He’s about to find out how wrong he is.

Your post prompted me to read a bit more about this region. Kerala is a dynamic, pluralistic, and socialist part of India. Long may it thrive.

“Diane Keaton?” “Yes, she was only 79.”

Twenty years ago and our conversation would be: “Diane Keaton?” “Yes, but she was 79.”

Even age is relative.

Thanks, it is in the business section and I was thinking it was bigger news as job losses are usually treated as yop stories.
