We were listening to our new Ian Tyson cd today as we drove from Stratford to Niagara-on-the-Lake. As we drove past beautiful Ontario farmsteads and thru the vibrant towns (no matter how small they seemed) I wished for days gone by in the US – days when many people still lived on the land they worked and the nearby towns still had a grocery store, butcher shop, shoe repair, small dept store and a bakery. But as Ian's song (Fifty Years Ago) said – wishin' won't make it so.
