Honestly, it's needed. I regularly host people from all over the world and get their viewpoints on a ton of "issues" and what they go through already in regards to them. Our outlook on life here in Canada, especially Alberta, really needs some perspective added. I'm getting really embarrassed about the constant whining from people here about having to make a very small sacrifice that "hurts them" but in reality, that sacrifice is so pitifully small compared to other regions of the world, that it's just downright laughable. And it's not just the carbon tax, it's literally any topic you can think of. We do nothing but bitch but miss the whole point of it all.
