Nancy's Notes

Today is not a day for full analysis. Today is a day for watching, waiting, and if you’re like me, wrestling with a tangle of emotions. As Canada’s Prime Minister meets with a U.S. President who continues to test the edges of diplomacy, democracy, and decency, I’m choosing to step back and bear witness. I’ve shared this video before, Tom Brokaw’s beautiful piece on the Canada–U.S. relationship, first aired during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and I share it again now, because it reminds us of what we have been together, and what we still could be, if we don’t lose sight of each other. I will be back tomorrow but in the meantime let’s watch this and remind ourselves as well as both our fellow Canadians and our American friends.
