The funny thing is there should be no Canada...if George Washington had been a half decent strategist we would have taken it over at the very beginning of the War for Independence...but it probably - I suppose - could be argued Canada has been a blessing...it’s mellow reasoned existence a nice counterweight to the US...Canada is to the US as Uruguay is to Argentina...an arguably fortunate historical accident

* edit: that's why it was done... last few times i was back-packing overseas (admittedly over a decade ago), a person with a canadian flag on their back-pack was slightly more likely to be american than canadian. why? because they didn't want locals to think they were american - probably because americans aren't the only ones who don't think that americans aren't the nicest people in the world... thanks for ruining that for us.
