leaving manitoba
i started to see outcroppings of canadian shield rock just after this marshy bit. i was surprisingly happy to see them. weird. i gleefully snapped some photos but they are just grey blurs. i went to the early dinner, mostly to avoid fmc and his boring and incessant droning on. as i was chatting about literacy work and community development with bonnie and alvin (?) from guelph - ahhhhh - we passed the sign that marks the border between manitoba and ontario. there was an announcement and the diners broke out in applause. i thought that was a bit odd. manitoba seems perfectly lovely to me.
free hooch in the lounge
i stayed in the lounge to enjoy the free sparkly wine but when the self-proclaimed unrepentant free market capitalist started wittering on about the benefits of privatizing health care i retreated to my wee room. surprising to meet an unrepentant fmc in these times when even the staunchest fm idealogues are repenting and relenting ... and admitting it is an ideology! we win! i guess this guy had not heard the news yet.
