Neighbours of the provincial minister of the environment filed a complaint to the OMB in attempts to stop her household from building a 4-car garage for the family's hybrid, SUV, and two sports cars. Stories like this reinforce my fears that we're totally screwed.

Our kids are schlubs. A recent report gives Canadian children a failing grade for fitness, and encourages parents and kids to get active.
