The Labrador Syndrome. Tomorrow the election in Labrador will reveal whether there is any hope for Democracy left in Canada. Harperism means that partisan politics is policy for Neo Cons and elections are to be bought by bribery. Some will argue this is not new to Canadian politics but what is new is the belief that Government is not obliged to serve those who voted for someone else. This policy decision is further revealed by the undeclared war Harper has unleashed on Ontario and attempts to sabotage Ontario economic and science goals. The refusal to repair the docks that enable the Chi Cheemaun ferry to function is a direct blow to the Economy of North Eastern Ontario. The refusal to quickly enable Ontario and Manitoba to run, finance and manage The Great Lakes exerimental Research Station is about hating science and environmental protection and protecting Canadians. If Penashue wins tomorrow we know the Joyce Murray way is the only hope.

I am a retired professor living in a somewhat remote location near Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada. I spend much of my time thinking and reading and writing about what it means to be human. I think that being aware or conscious means being a story creature. My story is made up of experience and how this is woven together is my identity. I story-make and therefore I am.
