When you’re explaining, you’re in the defensive position. Never good. So what I still don’t understand is why the Dems didn’t go on the offensive. Redefine the police issue in a fundamentally new perspective that was neither the status quo nor “defunding”. The stakes were high enough to warrant such an all-out approach...they should have taken control of the situation instead of allowing it to be used to control them. But they were overconfident and thought they had it in the bag. They needed an entirely new approach on this issue to get a real chance at a blue wave.

It’s always wise to check one’s weak spots and work on them, especially when one thinks it’s not necessary.

2020 has been a change of direction. A chance to take a breath and redefine priorities. Many Canadians had far better government support than they would have had if they had ‘merely’ been struggling to find a future under normal conditions. It has given us a chance to learn what we’re really made of and reach out to connect with others with whom we can learn and become stronger, more caring people. If that sounds trite...well, I made up my mind early in life that I would always work on being as good as I could be. It’s something to focus on. Looking for the positives along with the negatives provides a sense of balance and shows us that we’re making progress, if we’re willing to see it.

We’re heading into Covid winter. It’s up to us to get our act together and hold up through this time. A vaccine is coming...

The Trump casino is such a fitting image for its namesake...hopefully, also about to be conclusively taken down.
