Tragedy

[bcholmes]

If I controlled the universe, tragedy would be measured differently. Public response to Nelia Laroza's death, for example, would far exceed public reaction to Holly Jones' death.

Entire communities would mobilize around efforts to ensure that health care is a safe profession. The government would be pressured to change law, change budgets, (change premiers ferchrissakes), to make hospitals better. People would demand inquiries into the history of health care underfunding.

Best platform I've seen all decade. You get my vote -- and soon I should have one, only you'd have to field a candiate in the Edmonton-Strathcona riding.

I trust education fares better when you're in charge, too. On good terms with Jack Layton by any chance?
