dewline: Community is Real! (community)
My tax paperwork is now in the mail, en route to Sudbury for processing. We'll see soon enough if my calculations are good enough. There's always something I've misunderstood, sometimes corrected to my benefit, sometimes not so much, every year. If I end up repaying something again - it's happened on occasion - I find it harder than many to complain about that, especially after these last two years of Pandemic-era supports.

I do want and will the social safety net to evolve to the better for us all, of course. UBI, at a reasonable monthly level, indexed to inflation...that would be good, I'm convinced.

Housing supports for all, housing for all, that would be good also.

Finally rolling pharma, eye care, dental care, mental health care into the overall medicare system, ditto.

We have to argue for it. Until we win.

More on other topics anon.

I think I know of a place like this in Ottawa, a "hole in the wall" second-hand bookstore. All Books. I don't know how it got started, mind you.

More and more, though, I am thinking that - like the gentleman in this profile - I am going to have to become a bookseller myself to find new homes for my own collection. I would prefer to sell to people who find some kind of appreciation in each book going out my family's door.
