TVO began its Great Lakes week with, of course, The Agenda. watched the agenda (the international joint commission, greatness: the great lakes project). then, we watched a documentary (10 billion: what's on your plate?) on growing food now and by 2050--not through corporate gmo but local farming, even urban agriculture.

last day for submitting our thoughts about the parliamentary electoral reform committee. want to know more? (sure you do.) the uk and several other jurisdictions have gone thru this. so rather than reinventing the wheel, we can learn from them. here's what i wrote: 'if i, and millions of others, lost my right to vote, i might as well as live in a dictatorship. voting itself is precious.' as my father used to say about canada, 'it's a free country.' he should know. he grew up in hitler's germany. (tx, sh)

.

finished the strange doc about kandinsky. watched the agenda (water, nestle's, and guelph).
