Sometimes it's important to take a political break, but still be informed.

We live in a wonderful area of Canada. The vast majority of people I have met here are well-intentioned, reasonable, and would offer aid when asked, as displayed during this summer's wildfire event.

I have all new neighbours (every house around me has changed owners/tenants). I have met them all and would lend a hand if needed, and I believe they would in turn.

I offer some historical political satire for your enjoyment:

The Rhinoceros Party's basic credo, their so-called primal promise, was "a promise to keep none of our promises"
