When Calgarians read those words, they immediately think of a political tug-of-war that’s been brewing in this city for a long time – the on-again ~ off-again challenge of politicians vs. business interests trying to negotiate a secret contract behind closed doors and in the media simultaneously – doing it badly, and failing one step forward, then two steps back. The Landlord is being out-witted and out-negotiated by its Tenant, compounded by rookie mistakes (our mayor) and the dynamics of a weary public juxtaposed against a winning season for the Tenant (our Calgary Flames.)
But that’s not my subject du jour – the issue is about taking risks, believing in yourself and taking the consequences. I’ve written on this subject before, but nothing I can say holds a candle to this talk by Brene Brown. Hoppy oyster weekend everyone.
Reader feedback:
Stand to attention. Anthems have always made me pay attention—here are my comments on today’s musings. Of the three national anthems most familiar to me, one unifies by glorifying a flag lit by rockets’ red glare; another (the one I grew up standing for) unifies by glorifying an individual: god save the . But “Oh Canada “ unifies by glorifying the land: the true north; the pines and maples. No judgment, but I’ll take the “great prairies spread” over bursting bombs and jaded crowns any day, HM, Calgary, AB
