“War Is Over If You Want It”

A Holiday Message from Doug Draper, Niagara At Large

Posted December 22^nd, 2023

Dense clouds of smoke from a record number of wildfires this 2023 assaulted the respiratory systems of people and other living beings across Canada and much of the U.S. No cost can be placed on the huge loss of forests and habitat for wildlife

It has been a rough two or three years for many of us with the pandemic and all of the illness and death and isolation and  it brought, and with this passing year’s  record number of damaging and destructive floods, wind storms, wildfires and extreme heat episodes brought to us by all of the carbon pollution overheating our planet. 

So here is a wish for warm times  and  peace  to those of us who celebrate Christmas, and for the same to all of our friends and neighbors and to everyone on this Earth  who celebrate the Holiday Season in other ways..

Yet while so many of us  gather together with our loved ones for this Holiday, so many other lives around the world are being torn apart and cut short by war.

With that in mind, I leave you with a song written many years ago by John Lennon and performed by John and Yoko. It seems to me to be a fitting song at this time.

Warmest Wishes, Doug Draper, with a call-out to you to support local news and to encourage others to visit and engage in our online news and commentary on Niagara At Large at www.niagaraatlarge.com or on Facebook

Our cat Luna also wishes you the best of the season although, being as cat-like as she is, she absolutely refused to wear one of those Santa hats we paid too much for in a pet store.
