I've heard the reasons before (entrenched layers, bureaucracies of big HMOs) but as your neighbour, we Canadians look on the horrendous finger-pointing and blaming and think, "Why!!??" Why can you folks not put together a universal health care system. You've been told ours is terrible -- not so!!

This is challenging (so much reading!). But have you read Anthaney Doerr? I think Cloud Cuckoo Land is still my very top favourite. ? I am just about to start Richard Powers new book, Playground. Thanks for those recs -- A God in Ruins is awaiting pickup at library. "So many books, so little time."

Timothy Snyder in On Tyranny: 20 Lessons for the 20th Century says, among other things, make small talk (as in with strangers) -- it helps soften the vibe and break down barriers (this latter is my memory of that). On Freedom is his newer book. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
Timothy Snyder on avoiding the trap of ‘negative freedom’; and how Tanya Talaga uncovered her family’s lost Indigenous history | The Current with Matt Galloway | Live Radio | CBC Listen
Historian Timothy Snyder says thinking about freedom as “me against the system” is actually a trap that stops people from being truly free. The best-selling author of On Tyranny spoke with Matt Galloway at the Vancouver Writers Fest about his new book On Freedom, and why he’s now “100 per cent convinced” that there will be violence around the looming U.S. election. And when journalist Tanya Talaga's great uncle requested government documents about his mother, he was told she didn't exist. In her book The Knowing, Talaga digs into how her family’s Indigenous identity was erased, and what that tells us about Canadian history.
