In the news...

I found this quote in a CBC article:


In the past, O'Reilly has called the CBC radically to the left, the Globe and Mail a "far-left newspaper," and Canadian health care "socialist."


I don't read the Globe and Mail, so I can't comment there. However, given how far right the US is, yeah, I guess anything Canadian would appear far left, but I think of it more as "normal". So Canadian health care is socialist... what's wrong with that? I do believe that the individual has a responsibility to society... and making society healthier is also going to have positive feedback on individuals.

This is just one of the reasons why I can't live in the USA. I have fundamentally different beliefs. *sigh*

...back to my scarf. (Now at 15.5" of magic...)

I have told hubby countless times that I want to apply for "political refugee" status to Canada. I won't get into my political beliefs on your blog, but I agree w/your post. Only I live here. For now, anyway. :)

Please try to remember that O'Reilly is not America. He's an ignorant right wing blow-hard. He gets himself attention with offensive sweeping generalizations. He thinks any media institution that would print anything critical of the current US regime is leftist.
