The people who are in charge now in the U.S. will be the handmaidens of the downfall of the human race unless there is a change of direction. The planet will be just fine. It is the living beings — plants, animals, fish, birds, insects, etc. — that will possibly lose their environmental niche and go extinct. It is believed that we are now in the beginning stages of a great extinction, and we are not exempt.
When we came here to Cape Breton, I felt “at home.” My fifth-generation grandfather lived in Nova Scotia. My father’s parents moved to Syracuse, N.Y. from Louiseville and my father was born in the United States. If they had just stayed home in Louiseville, my father and I would both be Canadian citizens. My cousin, Paul Hannon — an incredible professional artist — lives in Halifax and has a wonderful Airbnb on the Cabot golf course fairway overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
I’ve been overjoyed to find a down-to-earth horse culture here on Cape Breton Island. I was once a therapeutic and corrective farrier, or horseshoeing blacksmith. I also had a horse breeding farm.
