Dictators are characterized by greed, arrogance and hypocrisy. It seems they can be found on every livable continent and in every country. It can be discouraging to see the ongoing wars led by these dictators. In Canada, we have seen many of them throughout our history.
Lately, I've been viewing old National Film Board documentaries (e.g., https://www.nfb.ca/film/david_thompson_the_great_mapmaker/). They give us a new perspective on our country's history.
Oddly, they also give us hope for our future ... adversity can be overcome. There is hope for our county's future and for my children and their children. We can only wish our decedent's will vote to end the madness.
Democracy is the way to go. Can vote out a leader we do not like. Dictators never leave as can be seen in Cuba, Russia, China and North Korea. Hope for our future does prevail.
