The Pimicikamak Cree Nation in northern Manitoba is choking on smoke as fires rage through the territories, with thousands trying to escape the worst fires in history. The skies are filled with smoke, and the sun has been red for days. It’s an inescapable feeling of terror. It’s in our DNA to be fearful of catastrophe.

We need more people working together and having conversations, not fewer. That’s why I like writing. I believe that a country does better when the citizens are informed, have discussions, have opinions, hold elected officials accountable, challenge big money sometimes, and even work together for a better community. “Know where you stand and stand there.” That’s what Father Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit priest, said way back last century.
