In this description, I've been struck at the differences in welfare coverage. Up here, basic dental - especially emergency extractions would be covered. But it may all boil down to provincial health care. both health care and welfare are provincial responsibilities. And somewhere, I think the system recognizes that the costs will be higher in the long run if the basic care isn't carried out. NOT ALWAYS, but some of the time at least. The Canadian medical system isn't perfect but I think it's a whole lot better than what you people in the US are facing and having to pay for.

In a lighter vein, this was received from my daughter. It is NOT, I repeat NOT, MY grandkids. The subject of the e-mail was LAUGH OR CRY???!!! and contained a paragraph of text

Quoting:I got this same picture e-mailed to me at work with the subject being something about a form of birth control! My colleague, Nancy and I have put this picture on the wall in our pod as sort of a mantra for when things go crappy at work - we just point at the picture and say "Things could be worse!" Love it!

Enjoy.
