i will say this though...

canadians pride themselves on...how can i say this...on differentiating themselves from americans. don't get me wrong: canadians are broadly pretty similar to americans. if you were to take a bunch of surveys, in aggregate, you'd find there's not a lot of differences. but, the few differences that do exist are things we hold very close to ourselves. it's a complicated, multidimensional thing. there's an outward manifestation that we state openly, like i am in this post. but, there's an inward manifestation that is only truly observed from a distance, too - things we innately live, without fully even realizing.

with the rise of the xenophobic rhetoric from the republicans, it's easy to draw parallels and craft a political strategy that learns from the recent election in canada. but, it's an open question as to whether such a strategy will be effective.

hey: if america wants to prove this canadian wrong, it'll be the most delicious crow i've ever had.
