We don't have cars yet, Tinkerntom. Geezus. Our countries are attached.
Why
is Canada such a big mystery?

Total lack of news coverage is the short answer. Every major news outlet
would rather talk 24 hours a day about M. Jackson or some other junk than to
gasp ever talk about anything that does not fit in 10 sec sound bite. I
grew up only vaguely aware of anything about either of our neighbors. It is
only now later in life and mostly due to getting more into the outdoors that
I am learning anything. Strangely enough I did learn about Europe up to
about WWII but absolutely nothing about much else in a more modern vein. The
schools that I have had contact with did a very bad job teaching anything
about the rest of the world --- very sad. I get 70+ channels on my TV and
yet not one is international - do ya see a problem here.

Heh. Brings to mind the popular "Talking To Americans" segment on the faux
news show This Hour Has 22 Minutes. My favourite was when the host went to
the Harvard campus and had everyone from students to professors signing a
petition to stop the polar bear hunt in Toronto.

He also went after high profile US politicians. Here's a dude that collected
some of it in video, funny stuff...I particulary like the one about our
"capitol building" being made of ice.
