Calendar Girl Blog: Get Informed

Please be forwarned. I'm pretty much fully and completely annoyed today.

Our city is nearing an election for the municipal level of government. Currently we're in the hands of a majority herd of dinosaurs. These out of date, lack of vision, penny pinchers want to do away with the gains we've made in recycling, reclaiming and reducing our garbage, deal with our future drinking water situation by running a pipe line a hundred kilometers from Lake Erie instead of educating the public on water conservation and won't pass a pesticide bylaw that dozens of local doctors are pushing for.

You know. Silly little stuff like that.

Thanks to Breast of Canada, my in-box routinely gets information that doesn't seem to make it to mainstream media. For instance, the Prevent Cancer Now newsletter that arrived this week starts out with this sobering statement.

"According to the most recent Canadian cancer statistics, more than one third of all females and close to 50% of all males in Canada will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives."

Good bloody grief! What could possibly be preventing us from taking action NOW.

See. I'm all steamed up.

Anyway, Calendar Girl would like to direct you to a source of information that may help you become annoyed too.

Have a good read.
