This has oddly come up a lot for me over the past few days. A friend mentioned the building excitement here after reading a CBC article with people who came home from the mainland and couldn’t believe how normal life is here right now. She specifically said she’s looking forward to the roaring 20s. And I saw it some YouTube video too, I think Bob the Drag Queen talking to someone. Fingers crossed.
Though I fear we will be reliving the 40s sooner rather than later. I don’t believe it’ll directly impact my life here, but I think we can expect a few repeats of Oklahoma City in the coming years. Hopefully Trump and Brexit turned out to be enough of a cautionary tale to prevent us going full 40s.
