They could really step up by vocally lobbying and teaming up with key industry partners to push the government to stop their insanely damaging policies. I'm sure some of this is happening behind the scenes but I wish they were shouting from the rooftops.

This reminds me of one of my favorite facts: traffic signs were designed such that the number of sides would correlate with the level of danger. A stop sign, with eight sides, was near the top of the list... but the circular railroad crossing sign has infinite sides and signals the highest danger.

Made a day of it and did some shopping too. We go out to Ottawa every few months since it's the nearest city.

Very upstate NY. Maybe not as impressive as it sounds.
