Today is your day Boomer! This is a week filled with political intrigue....especially south of the border, so I thought I would throw in my two cents. The two recent candidates for U.S. President are well into their 7th decade on this planet.....which is fine. They can represent all citizens, but especially understand the point of view of Boomers. But I think the future of politics is represented in this picture! Younger and diverse politicians are poised to take over the world from the traditional older, wealthy white males. This makes sense because world demographics are moving in this direction, but not quite yet. The Baby Boomer Generation still is dominant in numbers and elected representatives in western nations like Canada and the United States and hopefully they will take care of us as we age. We need lots of recreational facilities to remain active, access to more doctors, shorter waiting lists for things like hip surgery, and more construction of long-term care facilities. We vote in large numbers, while other groups like young people still haven't realized the benefits of democracy. But they will..... and, as a former teacher, I am so happy for them! Cheers!
