2.3 Count me In - Capital Income
Sam is left speechless; Wealthy yet insecure; compounding punishing insufficiencies; today’s transformations - chosen or imposed; parables of plenty vs. poverty; the real tragedy of the commons; divest from fear - invest in faith

Lyrics by Heather McLeod: You can count on me; you can count me in. You can make my day; let me have a say; When the chips are down, know I'll be around: happy to lend a hand, to build a better land. Better because everyone is valued, heard, sheltered, cared for and fed

Count on Me by Heather McLeod
You can count on me, you can count me in
You can make my day, and give me a say
When the chips are down, know I'll be around
Happy to lend a hand to make a better land
Better because no one is hungry
Better because no one is alone
Better because no one is homeless or unheard
or missing the medicine they need or the care they deserve
No
We're too smart for that
We're too good for that
We know how to build our world right
You can count on me, you can count me in
You can make my day, let me have a say
When the chips are down, know I'll be around
Happy to lend a hand, to build a better land
Better because everyone is valued
Better because everyone is heard
Better because everyone is sheltered and care for and fed
You can count on me, you can count me in
You can make my day, let me have a say
When the chips are down, know I'll be around
Happy to lend a hand, to build a better land
Your life in $ - how Canada's alphabet soup of help and fear now adds up to great insecurity amidst great wealth. How we got here, and where we want to go from here to build security and remove insecurity. Naming the colonial seed souring and undermining our security. Framing the potential we lose when we invest in fear, and could unleash by investing instead in faith.
