Dear Jessica Brennan,
There is much fear, unrest and anger filling our beloved country. So, I asked a few readers to tell me in one word, how the state of the country and our capital is making them feel.
The question was not posed in a way that would sway them to a particular side of an argument that seems to bring with it more sides every day.
Here are the words that were sent to me:
Anarchy
Chicanery
Concerning
Confused
Devious
Disgusting
Disheartening
Dumb
Embarrassing
Exhausting
Frightening
Honkey
Ludicrous
Ridiculous
Sad
Selfish
Shameful
Sickening
Terrorism
Vandalism
Unbelievable
Unhelpful
Unkind
Because no one sent me any words that I would want to use to describe my country, I put together a list of opposite words to those I received.
Interestingly, that list painted a picture of Canada that I not only want but that I recognize.
Be the change.
Love,
Mum xo
