Some morning linkage on cash and political power/freedom

Michael Enright reminds us of a long-standing sad truth on The Sunday Edition:

Sunshine and Snowflakes

That's what the weather was today here in Ottawa. Not much snowfall, and the sunlight dominated the day. All eleven hours, eighteen minutes of it.

(Yes, I keep track. It's useful for mental health maintenance measures. Like light-boxes serving double-duty as makeshift sun lamps. Also, for fanatically tracking the progress towards Spring 2012)

Meanwhile, there's a bunch of stuff Kepler's been digging up for humanity. Nice to have that info to file away for future ongoing research and exploration.

On the other hand, we've got this thing that's starting to look more and more like an organized attempt at voter suppression-style election fraud during last year's federal election being investigated by Elections Canada, the RCMP and CRTC. Some of you have already been discussing this elsewhere online.

We've had public protests complaining about it in Vancouver already, and Parliament Hill is next up tomorrow at noon.

(No, I won't be there. Got a day-job now and I want to keep it as long as I can. But good to see the self-organizing lack of apathy amongst my fellow citizens!)

So. Just a bit spooked, I suppose?
