The Christmas Season is about to start… our tree and decorations are going up this weekend.
For those of us who are able, let’s do the season of giving right by donating gifts for kids in families facing tough times, and helping your local food bank.
Thanks, and Happy Holidays.

Interview with environmentalist Bill McKibben on CBC's The Current. He says the market for fossil fuels is declining swiftly as alternative energy becomes cheaper and cheaper. There will be no demand for the gas plants and pipelines that our politicians promote. Such short-term thinking is cowardly.
