December 29, 2021 Publisher 0

Link to Ms Cross’ longest, most powerful and revealing article of the year. Perhaps of many years. If you are a Big Canoe Property Owner, prepare to have you eyes opened. Might be a good time to sit down and have a glass of wine first. There was so much in this I had to read it several times before I could really wrap my mind around it.
