Thanks to lettersofnote.com for providing some perspective this morning during these turbulent political times and reminding me of the wisdom of Bertrand Russell.

Eighty-five years ago, Russell told readers the price of democracy included occasional bouts of outrage. Implied in this sentiment is our obligation to be outraged in the face of injustice and governmental over-reach.

Whether you’re watching Saskatchewan politics, Canadian politics or beyond, there seems to be much fodder for outrage.

Russell reminds us of the need to be watchful and actively engaged.
