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.

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.
