A typical conversation with my cousin (metaphorically)

Posted on by

Shiva: We should be in Ottawa.

Sina: Yah I know, let’s drive there.

Shiva: No, we should be in Ottawa right now.

Sina: Yah but we’re not, so we have to get in the car and drive.

Shiva: No but ideally we should already be there.

Sina: Yes Shiva, I know. But we’re not in Ottawa, so we’re gonna have to get in the car and drive there.

Shiva: I don’t understand why we can’t be in Ottawa right now.

Sina: Well we have to drive there, we can’t just snap our fingers.

Shiva: I just really think that we should be in Ottawa right now.

Sina: Shiva, I don’t think you’re understanding what I’m saying.

Ottawa ? elimination of poverty

driving car ? development and productivity growth through policies that are driven by sound economic models

  1. LOL!!! That is SOO not how I sound! And I DO understand what you’re saying (thanks for pointing out what ‘Ottawa’ and ‘driving car’ really mean). So what kind of ‘driving’ do you propose will lead us to ‘Ottawa’?
