i was glad to read this in the Toronto Star. i am currently taking a class in international economic institutions, and like every university course there is a lot of reference to globalization. it seems that with a renewed focus on local produce, there seems to be some opposition to the effects of free trade and flow of resources across borders. in any case, the current situation is this:
TheStar.com News How young people are being driven off the farm
i also looked for the new dairy farmers' commercial, aired on tv, but i can't find it online. but trust me, it definitely beats the milk rap, and the one where naked people were bathing in milk (i mean, water with dye).
can't afford to reminisce too much about this though, because i need to get back to reading about the city. interestingly though the course (called the North American City) attributes the existence and growth of the city to the country. take that you city folks!
peculiar farm fact: the farm. interestingy they were also called the "soul of socialism"
i am rooting for the peeps in plaid.

hey G,
Are you hiding on campus?? haven't seen you yet...although I've made it my goal to keep changing my route so that I increase the chances of bumping into as many different people I know... apparently I haven't crossed your path yet :P
perhaps we should make a coffee/lunch/dinner date??
happy studying
