Why is Cuban Aid So Much Better than Canadian Aid?

[bcholmes]

Sister Mary was telling me, this morning, that one of the initiatives that Cuba has here is an initiative to save electricity. They've hired people to go door to door and take people's incandescent bulbs and replace them with fluorescent "green" bulbs. They figure that the reduction in energy consumption might be enough to enable big cities to have 24-hour electricity.

Cuba's projects, here, are always simple, down-to-earth programmes.
