"The Corporation" proved all over again just how much we've changed in 50 years. As I drive through rural New Brunswick, I can plainly see the great hollowing out of the rural economies. You see the old people still living alone in their crumbling houses, paint peeling and the part-time people who arrive in new SUVs and summer-ize their freshly painted pastel cottages overlooking the sea.

What if I told all you some ugly, alcoholic, Native bisexual was the greatest Canadian artist who ever lived? You might tell me to get stuffed.

If Canada doesn't wake up soon, the world as we know it, and all our most easily harvested non-renewable resources -- including fish, according to Dr. Boris Worm -- will be gone before 2050.Me? I'll be gone by then, too. And other than buying a hybrid car, I'm officially out of answers for my kids. How about you?
