Come on Canada, it's time to kick our bad habits and get into shape!

We now have access to so much information that we can find support for any prejudice or opinion.

The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels.

There are some things in the world we can't change- gravity, entropy, the speed of light, and our biological nature that requires clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean energy and biodiversity for our health and well-being. Protecting the biosphere should be our highest priority or else we sicken and die. Other things, like capitalism, free enterprise, the economy, currency, the market, are not forces of nature, we invented them. They are not immutable and we can change them. It makes no sense to elevate economics above the biosphere.

Each time I visit Japan, I am reminded of how Canadian I am and how little racial connection matters.

Fukushima is the most terrifying situation I can imagine.

The current economic system is fundamentally flawed and inevitably destructive.
