Coats on Carts at Ikea

During the recent ice storm I was forced off the road at an Ikea.

I took shelter in the restaurant and waited for the roads to clear. As I sat and drank my coffee I realized shoppers has left their coats and parcels sitting on shopping carts just outside the restaurant.

A moment's reflection made me realize the shoppers were not concerned about theft -- and that's a hopeful sign.

Canada has a crime problem -- of course it does -- but ordinary Canadians know that crime has not changed the fundamentally decent character of the country.
