Every day I see ads on TV for 'World Vision', Foster Parents Plan', the 'Canadian Leprosy Mission', the battle against aids, poverty in my own country. Yet in this world we have CEO's and retired CEOs and multinationals etc. making obscene profits. They try to assuage their consciences with token donations to some worthy cause.
Countries spend billions on weapons and spreading an atmosphere of terror. Yet within their own countries as well as around the world some of the money could be used to help these folks.
There is enough money and enough food produced in this world to feed everyone and generate a reasonable standard of living for them all. Some folks think they need millions a year to live on. They think they need two or three cars to drive. They drive cars and vehicles that are destroying our planet.
Having the best and most stable economy in the world won't be of any value if we are all dead or dying.
Greed runs rampant and the average Canadian sits back and watches.
Shalom
