Not wanting to pad the pockets of politicians and oil company CEOs drives me to bike instead of drive. Not wanting to die of a heart attack does too. And wanting some extra pocket money. Sure... it's not a complete switchover (I have yet to figure out how to get a giant jug of Tide home in my bike basket), but, it's a start.
Why is everyone so eager to embrace this new poverty? Do we really want Canada to look like old photos of China where everyone is on a bike? It means that much to us to let our elite sell our oil to the USA that we are willing to do this? It's our oil people. There should be a push on to nationalize our reserves!
Anyway, I don't live in an urban centre so giving up a vehicle isn't an option - not that I would.
Uh-oh! There's that dirty "nationalize" word....
It's that or the other dirty word "revolution."
That word brought CSIS to my town ;-) I can't understand why :roll:
:lol:
