    It's a fool's game to assume the government will preserve our privacy
    out of sheer benevolence: they have their own objectives.

    Yup though I confess that in the last two weeks I've been paying more
    attention to my daughter's move out of my home to a 600 sq ft condo
    which has the advantage of being closer to work.

    But then while I was originally (wrongly) hopeful of Mar Carney's
    ability to run a tight ship financially (he's currently running about
    twice the deficit that financial illiterate Justin Trudeau ever did
    which is a major "achievement" for somebody the national banking
    experience) and now would prefer to have a tough SOB in power who
    knows how to run a balance sheet.
