The Ballad of Bacon and Eggs for Gold

I had a dream
I was a rich man's son
Life was grand
We had a lot of fun

Then suddenly
As happens in dreaming
A nightmare came
The whole world was steaming

Ran cross a bridge
made it inside the doors
I heard these sounds
there was a gigantic roar
Thunder and lightning
The winds were so frightening
people were screaming
the people were dying

Recently on my mind, I have had a question on how to best support Bernie while working full time and most weekends. I'd like to posit this question to the community.

National: Canada and the Leap Manifesto

Submitted by Gerrit on Tue, 04/12/2016 - 4:21pm

Canada's progressive party, The New Democrat Party, is working to adopt the Leap Manifesto, written in 2015. It is subtitled: A Call for a Canada Based On Caring For The Earth And For One Another. Martha Pierce-Smith and Joe discussed it here on c99 today.
The Leap Manifesto is a great policy platform: it is well worth reading the piece in full (it's only 5 pages long). More below.
