Happy Independence Day to our neighbours to the south!
For those Gazette subscribers, Gil Troy has an excellent opinion piece in today’s paper saluting the values of American democracy and liberty that were enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately it didn’t make it to the online edition. But I’ll echo his sentiments in saying that there is no such thing as a perfect society, but the genius of the American system is that it recognized flaws and imperfections and created mechanisms for progress and change.
To all you Americans reading this, hope you’re enjoying your holiday, and careful with those firecrackers.
And Happy Canada Day to you my neighbor to the north.
