I had a lovely walk in the wetland, again. I live a life of privilege. I know this. There must be something I can do about the horrific events in the news. In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, we must read about their stories.
For those to whom much is given much is required.
Overt racist acts have been on the rise, according to many. Racists have been emboldened by blatant expressions on the part of politicians, and white supremacist groups.

The Quebec City killings have had me feeling upset all week. I woke up to the news.
A whole lot of the usual online suspects got awfully quiet after it came out that the suspect is an angry white guy.
Statistics don't support terrorist actions of muslims. We have too many alternative facts!
Your PM seems a bit too young and credulous for his job, so criminal deeds might be on the rise to check his alertness and actions.
