"No telephone lines
It is believed that about 1 to 2% of the Canadian
population does not have a telephone line. "
My guess is that 2% are the poorest and most in need of services.
However, there will be lots of poor people with phones, even if this is
the case...

Maybe the best proof that language is patriarchal is that it
oversimplifies feeling. I'd like to have at my disposal complicated
hybred emotions ... "the sadness of failing restaurants"... "the
