Alright.

So. I watch a lot of US media at home. Not a day goes by that I don't hear about some horror story related to employment rights, or the cost of education or health care. Heartbreaking poverty and gun crime, huge gaps between the rich and poor. (Think killing fields of Oakland vs. Stanford/Palo Alto)

I know we all like to hop across the border to save money, but living there permanently is a different matter. I thank my lucky stars every day that I live in Canada. I'm grateful for the peace and stability, for the safety net, for our mosaic society.

Gee, I guess I should have saved this for Canada Day or something.
