As 2025 winds (or stumbles?) toward its end, my wishes for next year sound much like my wishes for any day of any year:

- Cities, nations, provinces/states, etc. all elect more women to leadership.
- The sensible people who exist between extremist polarities (in other words, 80% of humanity) get registered and vote, in any and every election.
- Canadians embrace supporting their own businesses and producers.

2026 will earn bonus points if it is the end of Marlaina Smith's reign of stupid.

Hmm, just realized I said more women in leadership and then sandbagged on Marlaina. Hey, I'll still take my chances with less overall testosterone calling more shots. Gotta play the odds here.
