I was sitting at Curtis Tire on a busy morning waiting for my tire to get fixed when the video from the man who was filming the homeless camp in Abbotsford was broadcast on BC1 – Global BC’s 24 hour news channel.
A thank you to Cass who took time on her day off to supply a ride to the Salvation Army for me. It was much appreciated and because I was there before noon I was able to get some sliced whole wheat bread, bagels and some coleslaw which, together with my recent acquisition of peanut butter means I have food that will last until early next week.
I am still trapped in my residence and in my own head without a means of escape as I have not been able to find someone who can repair my slipping clutch for the slightly under $700 I have as opposed to the repair shops $1,000 [based on what ‘the book’ says].
As noted earlier – in thinking about the state of Canada’s finances and the economy, it became clear that as difficult as I found it to comprehend it was possible, even likely, that Stephen Harper and the Conservatives in fact see themselves as doing a good job – telling themselves that Canada’s finances and economy would be in much worse shape under any other party’s management.
