Le plat pays
3/23/2016 at 9:29 PM
"Under heavy grey skies, the city of Brussels ..." is how CBC opens the most recent online edition article at this time. I suspect, in direct reference to the lyrics written by Belgian pop star and poet J. Brel and his song "Le plat pays". Are we really talking about what is happening in Belgium--the article seems to imply--or are we talking about terrorism or even Sharia and religion? Or, are we talking about ourselves? Today, Hillary asked Mr. Trump and all those that want to build a wall: "...how high should we build that wall to block the internet?" I tend to agree with that sentiment and we should ask ourselves. We have the resources that make us less vulnerable, as Canadians, than most. So if anyone, including Hillary, wants to attack us in our (relatively) happy country, then how high should our wall be? Perhaps, until it reaches those clouds in our sky...?
