Hopefully yes, we will. As well as lobbying, letter writing, and voting. But laughing as well, for sure.

‘media package’ link. Among the gems, we find
“Additionally you can make it a day’s adventure by booking a trip on Alberta’s Steam Train which includes lunch and a train robbery.” At $5 to see
a replica arc and rocks which can be no more than
6000 years old, I’ve been robbed once before I
board the train…..
