While I claim some expertise on our side of the border, to our media in the US, Canada might as well not exist, so I come here and to Dawg's to learn.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219664.post-82334321828058407792007-04-12T18:59:00.000-04:002007-04-12T18:59:00.000-04:00Great post Jenny.

Amnesty International has chastized us. We have people in our country who live under third world conditions - no clean water, extreme poverty, with skyrocketing levels of suicide, child abuse, and more.
