The new bill proposed by Bloc Quebecois MP Francine Lalonde, has created a situation in which a people that has decided to not kill it's worst offenders is now preparing to debate killing it's neediest citizens. Apparently there is no room for a faint hope clause when it comes to the elderly or the depressed. No mention of rehabilitation or quality palliative care for the suffering and the handicapped.
Just a death sentence.

I am Ready
Fiscally it is in Canada's advantage to stop handing out money to a province that in return provides ongoing strife and conflict. Not to mention discrimination against the majority of the people in this country with it's language laws.
I, for one, am ready to say good-bye to the constant threat of referendums.
Goodbye to the petty language laws and their agencies, that spend time and money over the size of lettering on menus and cafe signs.
Goodbye to official bilingualism. I speak three languages well, and two more well enough.
Goodbye to open disregard for peoples rights and property.
If you want to leave, I say go and no hard feelings. Really.

Happiness is a By-product
Happiness is a word that describes an abstract concept, a sort of ever-changing ideal. What makes me happy at two, will not make me happy at twelve, nor at twenty two or thirty two.
Happiness cannot be the objective or goal of life since it is elusive by it's very nature. This explains why everyone is constantly searching for happiness.
Instead, I view happiness as being a by-product of life much like gas is a by-product of eating. No-one sits down to a meal with the intent to produce gas. It just happens as part of the process.
In the same way, when one goes about the business of living, i.e. pursuing careers, finding love, buying a home, children, milestones etc., we produce moments, instances of joy, grief and sadness. It just happens as part of the process.
Poof....ahhh happiness.
