A minute

We are most fortunate to have a truly wonderful neighbourhood cenotaph. I have always observed on Remembrance Day and am glad to have the open and proud community event a few blocks from home for my kids. As I child my parents would talk of rights and sacrifice. We speak there about ideas bravery, selflessness and change. And, that my children stand firmly in the 'up with bagpipes!' crowd.

There has been of late much talk about global citizenship. Watch this movie, look to the mother in the blue beret and then tell me if it is so entirely new.
