Oh … Canada
We broaden our minds and dispense with stereotypes when we travel, and see how others live. In this case, a short virtual-trip across our northern border reveals Canada is not just the charming nation of helpful Dudley Do-rights who say “eh” that we’ve always attempted to overwhelm with our Coca-Cola culture. It also has a quaint Orwellian underside. Steyn with the latest on the proceedings of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.
You know, that “tribunal” thing doesn’t sound very maple syrupy. There’s some inside hockey, or curling, whatever, at the link that might be a little hard for loud-mouthed McDonalds-gobbling nation-invading Cheetos-addicted Yanks to follow. Will require a few minutes off Oprah. Takes enough effort just to remember the place is there. But it is fascinating to see that even here in 21st century North America, European-style star chambers exist.
