"Imagine a gov't with parties deciding how to work together instead of feathering their own nests"
I can only imagine political parties compromising with each other, perhaps that is what you meant by working together. To imagine more would tax my brain too much, past history being an impediment, lol.

They could compete honestly and sincerely all they want provided no political partisanship.
Then I would be content if they only served their constituents instead of feeding at the trough.

I hope that with this change in federal government the Ring will move forward. I am convinced that it will just not sure of when and how. We all are stumbling in the dark.

Oh well, Cheers to the hopefull < that means a raised glass of Sleeman beer in my hand ;-) >, Ed.
