To Greater Socialism
March 14, 2006
Last night’s socialist propaganda was so seductively effective that now I yearn to give up everything and go till Saskatchewan’s soil. By the sounds of it, the Canadian dream was born somewhere on the prairie winds: universal health care, pension plans, human rights, unions, publicly-owned companies, and awesomeness.

And in the movie, Tommy’s doughter looked like a male version of Donald Sutherland. It was frightening.

I said I was interested, especially if it sells for $500/acre. They pointed out that there are no coffee shops so I let go of that idea.
