Squandrous

Hullo. I'm Sameer Vasta and I squander my time in wondrous ways. Come join me.

Via The Economist, a chart on what countries have the most labor strikes. Shockingly enough, Canada leads the pack:

Daily Chart: Who strikes the most? Following a week of strikes in Europe, our research team totted up the countries worst hit by industrial action in 2009. Curiously, Canada topped the chart - and by a huge margin.

I guess we can be consoled by the fact that our banks are rated the most stable in the world?
