Canada Correctives
Can't let too much more time go by without passing on a link recommended by our Canadian Bureau. It's an article in the Guardian that counts all the ways that Canada is not a progressive paradise, written, as only it could be, by a Canadian.
All good points and I'll add one of my own. After watching some of After the Flood, Leonardo DiCaprio's climate crisis documentary for the National Geographic Channel (available for free viewing there and on YouTube) and actually seeing what the tar sands mining looks like after it kills huge forests, it's criminal on a mind-boggling, heart-rending and frankly sickening scale.
