“The problem in Canada is … they have almost third-world access to the internet,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer of Netflix
....well ok, Ted you've identified at least one our problems.

But how really serious is it? Imagine the world before Internet. Yes a world where we actually had an attention span longer than that of a goldfish. A world where opinion could be shaped by 6 world famous news anchors no matter how right, wrong or slanted, there were six - instead of one re-Tweet that went wild, a viral anything, or a Wikipedia train wreck.

The new word for "think" is Google. Ask. Then Google. End of Debate. YES Google is great. But has it made us smarter, or just faster - and sometimes just...wronger?

Is a community of people without Internet really worse off Ted? Or instead, a community that thrives on search, debate and continuance of conversation…..as opposed to “this conversation is at an end…I validated it”
...“Where”…
…“Google”.

And does BING wish it were Google? You bet!

Let all go bowling. On a wood lane. With real balls that if dropped on your toe - cause an explicative.

In Ontario, our Government, ok a previous “Government” but all the same, politicians, sold-off, ok they leased for eternity the operating and income rights for the Highway 407 toll road, to a Private Company. Legendary is the fact that Lease Agreement, “oops” didn’t contain, oversight or rights-of-review by the Owners – us, the citizen tax-payers.

Now Dalton, our current genius Leader announces an extension is being built to the 407 and it will be operated by the “people of Ontario”. AND despite the fact that Dalton challenged and lost the fight to lower the tolls charged by Nasty Private Company – Daltons shared news that for the new part of the toll road “the Province will charge at least the same, and for sure not more” than Nasty Private Company.

Dalton will build a provincially managed infrastructure to run the extension, and although expensive and complicated, will as well build a very complicated computer system, with an expensive interface, so we only get one combined 407 bill.

Dalton here’s an idea – pay them, the Nasty Private Company to manage. Your way smells to much like Ornge, Samsung, eHealth. If you really want to proceed, ask George, after his run for Mayor and his involvement with the aforementioned boondoggles - give him a shot – after all – it’s just our money. And you have lots to play with.
