Even this year I think we have much to celebrate, though with the pandemic and the residential schools it's harder to find things to be happy about. I do think that we will weather the storm so to speak and hopefully be a better nation for it on the other end of this tragedy.

Australia has the identical demons to deal with, herself. So do the United States and probably New Zealand, as well. I have faith that the Commonwealth countries will do the "right" things, eventually.

Again I agree completely. As an aside, there is something special about living in a Commonwealth Country, that is the big reason my Grandfather had the two destinations in mind.
