Political Folly


It is no wonder that citizens grow cynical about politics and politicians. Donald Trump pardons wealthy Conrad Black’s crimes, while thousands of less well off people languish in dreadful American prisons for much lesser ones. Doug Ford cancels funding of forest fire fighting and tree planting while the world literally heats up. One might disagree on issues of social justice; but on issues of the environment it is pure folly to ignore them.
