Scott Gilmore says that Canada is too self-satisfied with the status of its racial progress. I can’t speak to that, though it seems the comparison with the US (and the racial concerns of African-Americans therein) is rather unfair. Aboriginies/Indians/etc – especially with regard to reservations – are a uniquely difficult issue in the US and Canada.

Yesterday I had a Journeyman plumber come out and check my work for a gas line extension I installed (my birthday present to myself was a new natural gas BBQ, so I had to run a gas line to it). For 1 hour of pretty light labor, I wrote him a check for $135. Now I know he won’t get all of that, but even if he only gets a third of it, he’s making a decent living.
