Something Different This Way Comes

Featuring Judith Monteith-Farrell; Tracey MacKinnon & Rob Barrett
& referencing Bren Smith & William McDonough

Being the squeak (no matter who gets elected); A call to gather expertise and lift muzzles; there is a deficit of autonomy in our economy; why draw down carbon by lifting up people; making our values the fulcrum; talking more about the change we want (& less about what we want to see change); my lyric of Thunder Bay & three questions answered.

Transcript

Bren Smith:
We have a deficit of autonomy in our economy,
we need jobs worth writing and singing songs about

William McDonough:
We need a fixed fulcrum if we are going to lift the world. Our fulcrum should be our principals & values.
Less of a bad thing is still a bad thing. Focus on what you want more of, to get where you want to be.

The lyrics of Thunder Bay's heart on our lawns:
Every child matters,
Hate has no home here,
Pride lives here
