In 1967 my family and I went to the Worlds Fair in Montréal. I was just a little shaver then, but my memories of Canada from that time were nothing but positive. Contrast that with the visions my brother and I were exposed to on our little sojourn thru Canada (to the Nothwest Angle) last spring. Everything looked pretty sad to me.

There are huge risks for both countries if Canada does indeed come apart. The United States has plenty of it's own problems and adding a few Canadian provinces wont help much with all that. Socialism and then criminals seems to be at the root of both of our problems.

I sure hope the conservative party in Canada has a chance to address both of those issues, and soon.
