Cross-Canada road trip asking Canadians what they think they have in common. Ultimately this will lead to a document that might be part of a framework for disucssion around creating a Global Constitution or Accountablities.
Why this blog?
Catagensis - The rebirth after catastrophy...
I am waiting on the rebirth after 9/11... I think we are not only in a static state of victimhood, but we are perpetuating the problems that led up to the disaster. This blog is an attempt to get people talking to each other on a human level so that we can move forward and, if not start anew, start on the same playing field.
What will come of this? A matrix of what we have in common; a global accountability agreement; a global constitution; a common language; a shared vision for humanity.
I am starting in Canada because that is what I know best, I hope that others who know more will feed into this conversation.

Quotes
- Melinda Gates, "I believe the connection happens when you see people as neighbours and not as strangers."
- Maya Angelou, "You have to stand up for the fellow who has been knocked down. I identify with those people because they are human beings, and nothing human can be alien to me."
- Bono, "Do you think an African mother cares if the drugs keeping her child alive are thanks to an iPod or a church plate? Or a Democrat or a Republican? I don't think that mother gives a damn where that 20 cent pill comes from, so why should we. It can lead to some uncomfortable bedfellows, but sometimes less sleep means that you are more awake."
- Barack Ombama, "I believe we have the chance to build more equitable and just societies so that all people have the chance to control their own destiny."
