Spezzato :: Maureen Evans: a rant on Canadian social state nostalgia

"America's funny because we Canadians often think of it as a Hellishly victimizing environment, rather than, at least potentially, an effective wake-up call to the collective problem of capitalism, and an inspiration to see the connect between their own and others' lives, globally. Canadians like to think of Canada as a more civilized place than the States, but there are really less and less fundamental differences in our societies' guiding economic principles; our nations are like trains at different places on increasingly parallel tracks. At least Americans — what with all their president's talk about taking over the world — are hard-pressed not to be aware of the place they are at."
