No derivatives, no securitization of mortgages, so Canadian banks did not need a bailout.

Single Payer health insurance, no Canadian was ever put into bankruptcy by medical expenses.

Banks that work with their customers, not try to screw them at every turn of the road.

Shall I go on?

PS: And they don't have an effing tea party.

Watch "Inside Job'...and any doubts about who was responsible for the US economic collapse will be put to rest.

What is this "Inside Job" you speak of?

Precisely.

Back in the '80s "Wall Street" character Gordon Gekko said, "Greed is Good!". My generation set about testing that theory.......And here we are.

Start a garden. Pretty soon it may become something more than a hobby.

Be prepared to feel enraged, disillusioned, and betrayed. Fair warning.

I doubt it. I already have a pretty low opinion of our corporate and public leaders.

See what I'm saying?

My parents, even though my Dad had a good job and we lacked for nothing, always maintained a garden and they kept a TON of canned goods in the basement, just in case "the system takes a dump" on them AGAIN. I had an uncle who had so much faith in unfettered capitalism that he kept money buried in the yard. What does that tell you about "the system"?

Yeah, you righties go back to the "Good ole Days" if you want. Just stop trying to drag me down with you, please.
