I picture something along the lines of Logan’s Run, except rather than aging, hitting a billion makes your little light go on. Then we shoot you out of the sky with lasers in an ersatz ceremony. Everybody wins.

This is the playbook, so yeah. All done with little data to support contentions around employability, skills, or demand. It’s ideology all the way down.

Many surgeries as a kid… I think my stories are mostly less funny and brave, but I made it! I did like the popsicle I got in recovery one time. But tell him the medical staff love him and are there to save him, so not to worry too much!

I suspect the attitude in HFX is like that in St Johns: that parking is a human right and that walking more than a city block to your destination is oppressive, so people “hate” downtown.

Although I have been thinking, maybe Canada should reassemble the “Mac-Paps” to fight the fascists like we did in Spain…
