Ecological footprint
If everyone in the world enjoyed Canada's standard of living, it would take four Earths to supply our needs and dispose of our waste. Americans consume even more. Makes you kind of wonder if our part of the world doesn't have some serious vested interest in making sure other parts of the world don't reach our standard of living (because - at the moment - we only have one Earth - so that would means we'd have to consume and dispose a lot less...) Hmmm...

Doesn't it make you sick that we try so hard to "modernize the world" and "teach" the rest of the world. When we are the very country that has forgotten how to live within our means?
We could learn a thing or two from so-called "developing countries". We aren't exactly fully "developed" either...
government conspiracy!!!
I'm kiding, although perhaps I'm not.....mmmmm.
