Complications

It's funny how life takes things and makes you re-evaluate everything that you have already determined to be truthful.

One of my girlfriends is getting married.  Another is going in to get tested for cancer.  And all of a sudden, everything that seemed that important isn't.

Who knows what the future will hold, I only know that you better enjoy yourself 'cause it's a rocky ride, and you may not be on the carousel for that much longer before you realize it's now turned into a rollercoaster.

Living in the Richest province

Well, it's about bloody time.  Alberta - the richest province in Canada has finally decided that years after Ralph Klein brought us up to date and got us out of the red and into the green financially as in many other ways, we have finally gotten something right.

As of January 1, 2009, Health care will be free for one and all.  Geez, and just think about it...Cuba has had this for years already.  

Scary isn't it?

How can we live in a wealthy nation with 26% of the population living below the poverty line, and no access to health care without paying a fee that means that some people won't eat.  

Freaking crazy.
