On my mind today

How CPP is better than US social security - it actually exists (hey that's a start) and is independently invested.  At least that's the story

The Alberta healthcare story from a couple of weeks ago .  Reducing wait times and using resources more efficiently, a model that could be adopted accross the province and the country.  Maybe.  They're still looking at it.  BTW, anyone notice that healthcare hasn't been much of an issue yet?  Just wait...

Giving up organic food , because it's a silly indulgence of the relatively wealthy.  That ought to annoy a few people.
