Clever.Concise.Spoken like a true Canadian. As someone with dual Canadian/US citizenship, I cant imagine going to the US anymore, the politics and foriegn policy/wars were never good, but a lot of Americans are good and knew how to have fun, which now seems to be lost under domestic problems and a burgeoning police state. That in this case Tim Bray is declining is a red flag, as he is of the type who could be held up as an emblamatic Canadian, a person, like many others, who carrys the quiet authority of a stable civilisation with them, but rather than this bieng something welcomed by ALL who encounter this, it is now a liability, someone for an armed "agent" to target, humiliate and if possible, reduce or eliminate as an example of there absolute authority in great united states.
