![Matthew Adams](http://rabble.ca/sites/rabble/files/imagecache/thumbnail/category_pictures/Photo 6_0.jpg "Matt moved to Toronto from the U.S just in time for Mike Harris to take power in Ontario and has been stunned ever since. Matthew Adams is a co-founder of the Catalyst Centre (a social justice popular education worker co-op), www.catalystcentre.ca, and works with a number of organizations including the Fourth Pig Worker Co-op, the publicist for the Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts in Toronto (where he is a proud member of CUPE local 1281) and rabble.ca where he is the Special Projects Coordinator. You can hear Matt rant about politics on the podcast "I read the news today (oh boy)" on the rabble podcast network and read him on the blog of the same name at rabble.ca.")
Who counts? In Harper's budget world it isn't women, the environment or indigenous issues. But he counts deficits. And plenty is being counted for the U.S. health care bill but not necessarily what matters - like universal coverage. That said, maybe the progressives have something up their sleeves. Single payer does exist in parts of the bill, if we can only get it to count. And we also serve up some rumours about something Obama might do and if he does, it will be very bad.
