: This summer of horror in the U.S., the U.K. and France is perhaps one where Canadians should be counting our blessings, according to Toronto Star. We not have — barring very occasional tragic exceptions — to live with the nightmare of urban terror in our cities. Order this photo By Robin V. Sears Sun., June 19, 2016 My beloved Scottish Presbyterian grandmother most impenetrable diktats, hurled whenever one of the many grandchildren swirling about her knees on summer vacations, whined about getting a smaller drink or less time in the kayak was, Just stop that! You should count your blessings, young man! The concept of blessings and how one would go about counting them was a mystery for many summers, but we knew it meant, Stop whingeing, or else. We do not have to endure vulgar opportunistic politicians, attempting to feed their ambition on the grief of families. We have built the most socially tolerant high-immigration nation on the planet, and continue to surprise ourselves with our success at the integration of greater and greater numbers of citizens from cultures as different from Canada host culture as it is possible to be. We have no one of consequence politically who would dare champion looser access to deadly weapons, as a remedy to gun violence.
