our neighbor to da nort

This Samantha Bee brouhaha brings to mind a thought I've been nurturing for some time now about Canada. I think the seed of this thought was planted in my mind in the wake of Canadian writer Margaret Atwood's 'Handmaid's Tale.' The idea is that Canadian claims to moral and intellectual superiority over us are really based on something entirely different, to wit: the fact that we've got, you know, California and Florida whereas they're left with the likes of, ah, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In other words, it's basically sour grapes.
