The last of the great cooperatives.  I’m nostalgic for these remnants of our collective past, but I guess we all are – that’s why Tommy Douglas got voted “the Greatest Canadian” while we also encourage two-tier healthcare and private education.  Check out the Alberta Pool’s history here.

  1. wow dan
    there are places like this
    memories held by people
    living in cities

    we see them often
    but seldom know

    where have you left?
    may be a good question
    to ask
