Who knew that drastic day would set the tone for generations later to quietly and slowly build a movement of cancellation of anything to do with development and progress in improving our Canadians lives so long as it impacted one molecular level of carbon, certain types of the tens of billions of trees or a migratory route for adaptive and evolutionary organisms, that may not even be home to Canada.
