*I hope I win the lottery (in spite of the fact I don't waste my money on 
the tickets) but it's unrealistic to think I will. Unless I start to see a 
drastic change in attitude of Canadians, there will be no recovery. Do I 
think Canada is a great country? Depends on your measurement standards. Do i 
think Canadians are resilient? They have never been tested!
