The events of the last few days reminded me of a poem my parents taught us. It speaks of the victory by outnumbered forces over a would be tyrant. The Scots English may be a struggle but it is worth a read.
Robert Bruce's March to Bannockburn
- SCOTS, what hae wi' Wallace bled,
- Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
- Welcome to your gory bed,
- Or to victorie!
- Now's the day, and now's the hour;
- See the front o' battle lour;
- See approach proud Edward's power --
- Chains and slaverie!
- Wha will be a traitor knave?
- Wha can fill a coward's grave?
- Wha sae base as be a slave?
- Let him turn and flee!
- Wha, for Scotland's King and Law,
- Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
- Free-man stand, or Free-man fa',
- Let him on wi' me!
- By Oppression's woes and pains!
- By your sons in servile chains!
- We sill drain our dearest veins,
- But they shall be free!
- Lay the proud Usurpers low!
- Tyrants fall in every foe!
- Liberty's in every blow!
- Let us do or die!
- Robert Burns

in sync with
First things first: take him out.
There is a lot of synchronicity going on today. Canadian politics is very interesting once you are in it. If you like strategy rather than the brute force used down south.
