OT - I can't be the only one...

I'm kinda getting sick and tired of our Canadian Prime Minister, Mr.Stephen Harper, going to other countries and promising them a wholebunch of money and aid when that money and aid is needed right here inCanada. I'm not a veteran, but my understanding is that Canada, just like mostother countries, treats it's veterans like dirt. There's all theparades and the noise made about how all these men (and women) were andare heros, but where the rubber hits the road, and money is needed, it'sjust not there. Here in Canada, the federal government is closing abunch of Veteran's Affairs offices across the country ostensibly to savemoney. But, at the same time they've announced that they will be giving a pileof money and aid to the Phillipines because of the recent typhoon thattore through the Phillipines. I can't be the only that recognizes that there's need for that moneyright here at home in Canada. Sure, I'm sorry that they had a typhoon,but money from Canadian tax payers should be spent right here in Canadahelping Canadians. Ditto for the USA. Why can't our government spend money raised in Canada on Canadians andgive a great big heartfelt "Our thoughts and prayers are with you." tothe Phillipinos?

And, as so often happens in mathematics, a singularity occurs at the complete loss of a head, by amputation, decapitation or any other means.

Despite the head being of relative importance to the normal function of a federal employee, complete loss of a head is not listed on the schedule, and therefore warrants no weeks of worker's compensation.
