This is a sad and potentially tragic development.

The article mentions that the war has displaced 14 million people. It has also brought famine to 25 million more, of whom some 4 million are children.

There are no heroes in this war, only different kinds of villains and vast numbers of victims.

“Canadians feel deeply connected to the land, water, and ocean — it’s part of who we are.

“Nature fuels our identity, culture, and economy. It’s not just scenery — it’s essential.

“We need leadership that sees this and puts nature in the budget.”

Protecting nature is the common calling of all Canadians.

We are uniquely blessed by our country’s vast natural beauty.

It binds us together and shapes our identity as a people.

It is our contribution to the shared heritage of the human race.

I am sorry for that unhappy development, for you both.

I hope you and Knox will find other ways to enjoy green fields together.
