Today is your day Boomer! It is Saturday...which means another day for so-called "freedom convoy" protests across Canada. In my neck of the woods, it means a stream of noisy vehicles and people heading south on Highway 97 through the Okanagan Valley stopping at Osoyoos just before the Canada/US border. So today, I turn to another Boomer for advice on all of this. She is Mary Simon, our governor general and the very first indigenous GG in the history of Canada. She is vaccinated, but has some great recommendations for all sides in this debate: "I don’t feel anyone is wrong particularly, but there is a very strong difference of opinion about what is going on." She says the country needs to take a look at “bringing Canadians together to discuss how we can work and come together as a nation and look forward. I am a bridge between Canadians from different experiences, and encouraging different points of view has been central to my work, not just here at Rideau Hall but throughout my life’s work." She says the fact that Canadians have a diversity of experience and opinions makes the country stronger "when we are respectful of each other.” But respect “is something we really have to work on in the next months and probably years," she believes. Boomers....words of wisdom from another Boomer as we all search for a new level of kindness in our nation. Cheers!
