In my province, we have a single, government mandated public auto insurance provider.  Despite all the possible shit that could be wrong with that scenario, I have had good experiences.

When my Escape hybrid was rear-ended at a red light all expenses were covered by my insurance, including the massive repair bill, the lost wages due to my injury, all the physiotherapy until I felt I had recovered, plus all the medication, plus a loaner vehicle for a month while the repairs were being made to the hybrid, plus my mileage to and from medical and physio appointments.  No expense was spared.  I had the rock-bottom basic insurance available.  Of all of it, only the loaner vehicle was provided due to it being the other guy's fault.

PS - yes Geiko commercials are even more fun when they have nothing to do with your life in any way, shape or form.


If Canada ever annexes part of the US, I hope the new border runs all the way to my house.

My husband and I often get a chuckle out of Fox news.  "Look!  They're actually scared of him!  Hee hee!  Isn't that quaint?" etc.  For a Canadian like me, seeing an American's fear of socialism is like when you see someone in a public place show fear toward a puppy.  I'm all like "wha?"

the sad thing is, i think the fear is real for some people. not the fear of government takeover of their lives, but the fear that they won't magically hit it rich at some point in the future. there's like this cultural disease we've got where people bank on being rich in a few years - and if the industries that make the most money suddenly can't make money any more, how's a person supposed to get rich? nevermind that those industries prey on ignorance and loopholes to pirate as much profit as they can before they get caught.

Boom. Choop nails it.

We've all been convinced that one shouldn't share even if they're fucked because what happens if they get theirs?

Stockholm Syndrome. An underclass of Uncle Toms, perhaps.

Even though... almost no one gets theirs unless their grandparents had it already.

I guess you oughta just paint me red and call me Nadezhada Krupskaya, 'cause one of my life goals is to strike it rich explicitly so I have more to share.

I cannot imagine having more than two cars or a house with six bathrooms. (Too many toilets to clean, ugh.) They say money changes people, so I dunno, but I sort of have all the material goods I need, I just would like to have them paid for.

I only have one car. I do have a urinal in my bathroom, though. That's sort of extravagant.

When I say "more than two cars," I mean for my family unit. We as a couple own two, but my former neighbor at one point had four cars between him and his wife.

I guess at some point the kids will want cars, too, but that's so far off I can't even begin to think about it.

The sad thing is that we bought the car in March of '07 and it just rolled over 10k miles.

I've got three cars and I'd really like to get rid of at least one of them.

Probably not the one that belches flames, though.

I just got a forwarded email telling me that Bill Gates was going to give $500 for each person I forward the email to.  Wow, I haven't seen that one in quite some time.

This email was sent to me by a client.  I must say, this does not fill me with confidence.  I hope the job doesn't turn into this.
