Watching the U.S. presidential debate on Monday night was hardly riveting as neither candidate, neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump, are brilliant speakers. That said, the American voters do have a clearer choice after this week鈥檚 debate.

In last week鈥檚 column, I suggested that one of the ways to resolve lasting disputes is for those in authority to sit down with those who have grievances and listen to their stories.
There are many who will argue that this has been happening for years and nothing positive has come of it. Unfortunately, they are quite right; and for reasons that are easy to explain.

It has been a busy summer. The move, the water adventures, the settling in. All wonderful experiences, but busy. I decided that I wanted a day off. I know, I鈥檓 retired, every day is a day off. But I wanted a day away. Not serious thinking, nothing strenuous, just relaxing. Having heard much about the Winnipeg Zoo, not having seen the new polar bear exhibit and wanting to see the new heavy horse barns, I invited a friend who needed a day away as much as I did, and we headed out to the big city.

When it comes to buying one of our main necessities, food, we have a lot of options. We have choices within our home communities, we have choices in neighbouring communities and we have choices in larger regional centres. Overall, in Canada, there are lots of choices, especially as non-traditional grocers, like Wal-Mart, continue to enter the market.

Our life is like a timeline. When you are little you cannot wait to go to kindergarten, then it is time to go to school. After spending 12 years in school you cannot wait to get out of school and see what the world has in store, maybe moving away from home, getting more schooling or entering the workforce. Sometimes even the adventure of the workforce does not satisfy and you look forward to retirement. Then you鈥檒l have freedom to do as you please and go wherever you want to.
