Scott Thompson: Above all, be happy and know your own peace this New Year

It’s that time of year when we reflect back on the one that was and rejuvenate our ambitions to focus on the year ahead.

Although the last 12 months have come with their share of challenges, we are blessed to live in a place of such opportunity and prosperity.

After each day when we digest the world around us — the Trudeaus, the Trumps, the climate change, the guns, the terror, the debt and the divisiveness — there is only one thing that truly matters, and that is what happens within the four walls you call home.

Despite what you and I talk about here each day, whether it’s world politics or the latest fad, in the end the peace you need is in your home.
