welcome to the conservative "free market"

seems like harper is looking to bail out the big 3 automakers here in canada. man, that must make his little, stony, "the free market is god" heart go into arrythmia.

what's with the $6 billion price tag for that bailout? they're asking for $14 billion in the US, and our car-manufacturing sector is what, 1/10th of that of the US? hello! and say, what's the plan? what will we get for those $6 billion? anyone?

also, parliament is prorogued. GM claims it's going bankrupt even as we speak, within days. how is this going to get done?

i can smell a huge deficit coming our way. ah, conservative governments.

first snow!

alas it's not staying long; it was very wet, and it started raining again pretty much right after i took this picture of the snow cone on top of the echinacea cone; not even enough time for an evening out with my sorels. :)

SNOW! i love it when it falls, how it wraps the world not only in a blanket of whites, but also in a veil of muted sounds.
