The world needs more, many more, politicians who encourage the better side of human nature. The kind, compassionate, caring side as opposed to the greedy, self-serving, cynical side.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I am extremely grateful that I get to live on the traditional territory of the Wolastoqiyik (Malisset) and Mi’Kmaq Peoples. I acknowledge the damage and injustice that has been done to First Nations Peoples by settlers and that still needs to be addressed and corrected. I promise to revere this land that I live, play and create on; to treat its resources with respect; and to support Indigenous business and cultural initiatives whenever and wherever possible.

Lovely. I wanted him to win. And in a way, he has. We badly need compassion, civility and vision back in the public sphere.

You are so right, Cynthia, we badly need compassion, civility, and vision back in the public sphere. Even civility would be a step forward. I wish he and a few others had won instead of almost winning. I sure hope the US hasn’t seen the last of Beto and others like him.
