Whatever happened to Adam Yoshida?
David E. Powell
always wondered if things worked out OK for him. He was very exuberant
and brassy, and I hope the journey since has been kind to him!

Oooohhhh .... he's from my Province ... and he's expounding on the dreaded
HST which most British Columbians loathe.

He makes a compelling case, too. Good to see him still doing his

I rest easy knowing that there are at least three mountain ranges and
thousands of kilometres of muskeg and Canadian Shield between him and me.

So are people in BC about you.

of taxing the crap from real working people to party

If you had a government job that had reasonable pay and decent
conditions would you give it up?
Or would you go out in the rain and snow to shovel shit for peanuts out
of a sense of moral outrage?

Too many people think that, because the government employs people to
provide services, it owes them a job. The fact that they might be
unsuitable for the job to which they applied and are consequently
rejected, or that there might be more qualified candidates never occurs
to them; they think the government owes them a job. The government does
not owe them a job, it owes them cost-effective services required by law.
It will employ the necessary human resources it can get at labour market
rates to provide those services.

The gov used to not only provide jobs, they were manditory. Fun stuff
like machinegun schlepping. Been a third of a century since there was
a draft in the US. How soon we forget.

Anyway, I don't know this Yoshida, but it appears he lives close to me, and
he is railing against the hated HST (harmonized sales tax just instituted in
our province), which makes him okay in my books.

That's like supporting Mussolini because he made the trains run on
time. Support Yoshida and you will be in WW3 before you know it.

Whatever he's got (Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport)
it's still just an SUV with very good to excellent off-road
capability...which means unless it finds some handy logging roads it's
getting almost nowhere in the Canadian boreal forest.

Depends on how old it is.
The original Discovery had Defender running gear.

This is assuming that it is stock and without special
modifications. ;)
Seriously, glad to see he is still out doing his thing, and I hope he
is well and happy. Always liked his spirit and verve.
