Message: [QUOTE="MattRyder, post: 3929041, member: 189375"] I'm able to play recreational poker because I am blessed with a happy, healthy family. Even if we did have health issues, we don't have to be concerned about healthcare coverage like so many of our American neighbours. Our home is safe and secure; we don't have the huge swings in devastating weather wreaking havoc in many parts of the world, in particular of late the US. We don't have to be concerned about a roof over our heads, electricity, food or safe drinking water. I don't have to worry about things that would limit the time that I have available to participate in one of my favorite pastimes. There are many, many people in this world that don't share this luxury. In five years I hope to be exactly where I am today. I also hope that the rest of the world, especially those currently suffering south of the Canada/US border, will be able to share in the gifts that we in Canada sometimes take for granted. [/QUOTE]
