Canada is a fairly secular country, although different from the secularism in other countries. It is not so much an outright lack of faith here as is pushed by radical groups in the United States or Europe, but simply more [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=geerlife.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4309601&amp;post=538&amp;subd=geerlife&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It&#8217;s not something that is brand new, but is something that has been happening for a while. The last while has seen several attacks on Coptic Christians in sectarian violence. This brings [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=geerlife.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4309601&amp;post=534&amp;subd=geerlife&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

All I know is that there&#8217;s a painful month to go before we can all stop pretending we care so much about politics and the government can go back to whatever it does when it&#8217;s not election time (I know there&#8217;s something they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=geerlife.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4309601&amp;post=526&amp;subd=geerlife&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ignatieff made an announcement in todays campaigning, and he of course calls it &#8220;revolutionary&#8221; (I guess he borrowed Steve Jobs&#8217; speechwriter). So, the idea is that student&#8217;s will now get $1000 RESP a year, which will replace the current education and textbook tax credit. Now, technically speaking it is an increase. With the education/text book [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=geerlife.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4309601&amp;post=520&amp;subd=geerlife&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Luckily, it includes an unlimited opt-out, which means that you can drop the absolutely terrible coverage and save about $200. Of course, the only thing is that you have to remember to opt-out.
