Hey pal, honestly, I loved reading this reply. If you’re ever in the market for a Canadian friend who likes political discourse, my email is in my profile. Otherwise, if you happen to blog, let me know - it’s remarkably rare to find such clearheaded political discourse in Canada. This is an incredibly cool moment and seriously, thank you.

Your last sentence is one of my favourite things I’ve read about Canadians. It reminds me a little of something Pierre Berton would have written. I love Canada, dig Canadiana and find our people’s history absolutely fascinating. But as a culture, we’ve never been capable of having a complex debate as a nation without going back to the same debates we had pre-Confederation. As far as we’ve come, it wouldn’t be wrong to talk about the Northwest versus Upper Canada. That’s bloody weird…

Have a perfect Friday friend!
