I just saw a public service announcement from the government urging us to invest and here's the twist. It's not the federal government urging us to invest in Canada Savings Bonds, it's the Ontario government urging us to play the stock market! What! I can't decide if this is really smart or really diabolical.
I gotta tell you though, I love Dalton McGinty's new campaign - the effortlessly earnest urban left wingers, the 21st century yuppies looking you in the eye and telling you a heart warming story about some good deed performed, apparently, by Dalton McGinty personally; telling us how the personal is affected by the political. And you know what? I want to believe them so badly - I really, really do. If for no other reason than that I'm tired of always having to guess if people are telling the truth or not. I really want to believe that these people, these sincere people , people who could live next door to me, people I know, people I respect...I desperately want to believe that the things they are telling me are not just true, but that they actually matter! That they are outward spreading ripples on a pond. That we won't all regret this in a few years.
