Perspective grasshopper; Your comparisons of Canadians to Americans casts us in poor light, but compare Canada to N. Korea and Canada looks pretty rosy.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. ;)

Well jwitt,

I think I'm going to go jump in one after catching the news tonight.

P.S. (No I won't jump, I just feel like it)

Terrible situation in China, curious you mentioned mining, I do have mining clients but they are in Australia, Africa and Canada.

I don’t know what efforts could be done about saftey abuses in China, there are too many abuses, and not enough energy in a day to deal with them all.

Human rights and labour abuses in China, and throughout the world, need to be addressed as seriously as the 'Iraqi threat'. I just read an article about the head of a clothing factory in Borneo being convicted of using slavery. Oddly,(or not oddly at all) it was a US company that owned operation. Certain countries that do not subscribe to international human rights standards are excellent places for countries to 'maximize profits'.
