Healthcare Joke

The difference between Canada and the Soviet Union:

Soviet Union:

A young lady wants to buy a car. The dealer tells her that she will get it in about two years.

She asks "What day?"

The doctor says: "Monday, May 21st, 2008, 4PM."

She says: "That's going to be a problem"

Doc: "Why?"

OLady: "The plumber is coming in at that time."

Canada:

An old lady talks on the phone to a hospital for a hip replacement. The doctor tells her that she can get it in two years.

She asks "what day?"

The doctor says: "Monday, May 21st, 2008, 4PM"

She says: "That's going to be a problem"

Doc: "Why?"

Old Lady: "That's when I have my cataract surgery appointment."

Purpose of this Blog

Just recently, I've become very interested in Canadian politics and particularly the phenomenon of blogging. This blog is intended to record my own thoughts on the issues and perhaps contribute to the debate from a libertarian (neither strictly left nor right) political perspective.

I am currently a Canadian undergraduate studying economics at the University of Chicago. I was born in Toronto.

My particular passions include economics, global military policy, and the environment. I am also an avid sailor.
