Election 2006

It is a shame how people in North America people don't realize how good our lives are. A couple nights ago I learned that one of the men from the cleaning crew is a refugee from Ethiopia and one of the cooks is from China. Both men have been in Canada for less than a decade. They got into a discussion with the head of security about the upcoming Canadian election. Both are very update on current events and were discussing the merits (or demerits) of the various political leaders. After they had left, the head of security told me that both of those men really love living in Canada -- they think it is the best place in the world to live. Last night as I was working I got thinking about their discussion again: no matter what party is elected next Monday, our lives will still be pretty good.
