Compare & Contrast

Look, we barely skim most of this crap anymore, but as a public service we link to you a brace of items from East Coast Assholes (granted, Timothy Egan types "on American politics and life, as seen from the West," but he does it for The NYT) about our imaginary friends in the decent & Western part of our neighbour to the north, on whose side we'd just as soon be should we need immigration recommendations in 2012/3 or 2016/7, depending.

Allez Canada!

Hmm, half of us in my province hate the Olympics so yelling out with pride is not a winner regardless of the national squeamishness about patriotism.

Will we survive it? I dunno. I feel fortunate to really like cheap ramen.

Be glad you're not an elitist w/ a taste for expensive ramen.
