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
