Freebird

Today Statistics Canada released new census reports, and the Globe and Mail published a set of interviews with immigrants. One recent refugee from Myanmar living in Newfoundland had this to say:

"I feel very safe. It's freedom," she says. "It's a nice place. I'm not afraid anywhere. I'm not afraid [of] any soldier but Burmese. I still [feel] like a freedom, like a bird fly in the sky."

That and the rest of her story sure puts my bitching about tasers into perspective. What a wonderful place I live, where that's the worst that happens.
