WHEN I GROW UP, I WANT TO BE FINLAND

God save the Brits -- from madman Blair (Heather Mallick, Toronto Globe and Mail, 5/17/2003)

Every day, Britain becomes more American. Canada was allowed to take the best of America -- its generosity and enjoyment of life -- and the best of Britain -- its cleverness and wisdom.

That's gone. I hope Canada can develop a sufficient sense of itself to live in a world where there is no other nation to admire fully, although I'm researching the Scandinavians.

If Scandinavia doesn't work out, there's always Cuba. Posted by Paul Jaminet at May 20, 2003 10:23 AM
