I know it is on many Canadians’ minds – what does the
future hold regarding Donald Trump and his myriad threats? Our
long-term alliance with the USA seems to be heading to the dump and
with it (perhaps) our hope of a bright future. As I have been listening
to the news for the last while, a few things have jumped out at
me. One was a quote I heard on CBC which was that Donald
Trump should be “taken seriously, but not literally”. He is the
master of diversion, so as he was putting forward his nominations for cabinet
positions (most of the nominations dubious) he at the same time told
the world he wanted to take over Panama, Greenland, and Canada. As
you can imagine, this created a vacuum in the news, and all networks
were focused on the left hand while the right was doing the real dirty
work. Let’s not get sidetracked by his vulgar circus
tricks. The second thing I noticed was how misaligned Canadian
Politics has become. Our provinces have been drifting apart for
quite some time and never more than now is this more apparent. We
need to have our house in order and under one roof to be able to tackle
the next four years. We need to be unified and figure out
ways to help each other if our biggest ally and trading partner is
going to continue to bully us, threaten us, and treat us as its
problem. Donald Trump does not care about us so it is up to us to care
about ourselves. Canadians matter – all Canadians in all
provinces. Unity is the solution not division.
Now for the lighter side of life – shopping!!! If the news is
causing you stress or anxiety, may I recommend a meditation
ring? These rings have an inner band that spins and
can be used for meditation or simply something to fidget with to draw
your attention away from the news and other stresses. The
stunningly beautiful new collection from Pursuits is
a show-stopper. The Hex Hex
necklace with its bold grey glass orb design pairs
beautifully with the gold hexagonal charm and chain – we are
obsessed! And if you are looking for new hoops that can take you
from day to night, look no further than the Pavé
mini huggie hoop from Leah
Alexandra – simple and classic, yet fun and
festive. Last on the highlights today is our sale on
much of our Nex Grip Collection. Each
boot has a built-in cleat in the heel for ice traction and is
waterproof and most are rated to -35°C. Today's pick is the Whiskey
men’s boot – city style with solid winter
attributes.
