Cool Canada
by Samantha Bennett You live next door to a clean-cut, quiet guy. He never plays loud music or throws raucous parties. He doesn’t gossip over the fence, just smiles politely and offers you some tomatoes. His lawn is cared-for, his house is neat as a pin and you get the feeling he doesn’t always lock his front door. He wears Dockers. You hardly know he’s there.
And then one day you discover that he has pot in his basement, spends his weekends at peace marches and that guy you’ve seen mowing the yard is his spouse.
Allow me to introduce Canada.
The Canadians are so quiet that you may have forgotten they’re up there, but they’ve been busy doing some surprising things. It’s like discovering that the mice you are dimly aware of in your attic have been building an espresso machine.

Know what else is cool about Canada? No George Bush. No Tom DeLay. No Rush Limbaugh. No Michael Savage. Shall I go on?
Surely Americans will not be stupid enough to elect George Bush next year, but in the unlikely event that they are, Canada will experience a sudden surge in immigration.
I hope they’re ready for us!
