Dear Friends,
I'm sure I'm not the only Canadian who feels a bit unsteady, these days.
As our politicians continue to struggle with their scandals (Prime Minister Harper with Senate over-expenditures, the former Ontario Premier with the power-plant fiasco, and Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford with inappropriate behaviours), the rest of us are still wrestling with the weather.
However, according to OECD, Canada ranks number three in "Better Life Index."
Not too long ago, our Director of Education resigned, confessing to committing plagiarism; the Ontario Health Insurance Plan is gradually withdrawing "unnecessary" services; the streets of Toronto are home to increasing number of vagrants, with or without mental illness. While the government freezes public servants salary and benefits, the richest one percent of Ontarians are making sixteen times more than the rest of the population.
Shall I just accept and file that, sometimes, leading organizations such as Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, also make mistakes? Or, shall I simply join the ostriches?
What have you accepted and filed today?
