Modern Life-from my balcony

8:30 am in a lower middle-class suburb of Montreal.Watching “normal” Canadian life unfolding from my balcony.Mothers driving their kids to school and walking them and one pushing a stroller probably taking her child to daycare before it is able to walk! No fathers to be seen.Are these couples divorced or do the men have earlier shifts(possible)?They do seem to appear from time to time.Children with their heavy back-packs looking stressed about what is going to confront them at school.Some waiting at the corner for their school-buses.No-one seems particularly happy or even present! Does it really have to be like this?Is this the “the greatest civilization” as the Trumpians and Pinkerites would have us believe? Or is this the real unidentified humanitarian disaster that few dare to identify let alone talk about?!You probably know where I stand on that one lol
