Our American Cousins
The Mid-West in the United States is considered to be the breadbasket of the nation. It’s the
heartland where conservative ideals have deep roots. Visiting there recently gave me the
opportunity to talk with some of the people and hear what they have to say about Canada.
I noticed that Mexico gets a lot of press coverage in the US these days. Tensions are high
about immigration laws and drug smuggling. By contrast Canada was never mentioned
once. No one has any idea who the head of state is in this country or that we might have any
concerns of a significant nature. Canadians are considered to be surprisingly polite people,
bland, peaceful and without assertive qualities. Although this generalization about us is not
new the extent of the blankness does appear to be of epic proportion
One woman had to ask me how to spell “Canada”. Another person assumed that Saskatche-
wan was part of Alaska. Yet another admitted that she did not know where Montana was
located. All of this, while humorous, left me more than a little disturbed. Canada and the
USA are the largest trading partners to each other. We seem to be reasonably informed
about where they are and what they’re doing across the border. The Americans, by contrast,
don’t seem to have a clue about us in any respect at all. Their assumptions about Canada are
not only ignorant but bordering on blindly stupid. Mind you, this lack of apprehension isn’t
restricted to Canada alone. The US seems to be living in a bubble that excludes everyone
else in the world but the people in their immediate vicinity. That’s a dangerous position to
be in.
When you’re used to being the biggest frog in the pond it’s easy to forget that the water just
might dry up. It’s not healthy to be soaking up all the resources without any thought to what
may happen when they run low. Someday we may find that our American friends assume
that we’re just warehousing our commodities for them until they need them all themselves.
We might be cousins but feuds occur in the closest of families.
It surprised them to hear that Canadians just might be considerate because we’re self-
confident and it doesn’t diminish us in any respect to treat other people in a civilized man-
ner. It doesn’t mean that we aren’t capable of standing up for our interests. When looked at
that way they wish they were more like us. I wish they were, too, because as things stand
now they represent a powerful economic machine in the hands of neighbors with unstable
adolescent temperaments. Canada would do well to watch her back. JK

Synopsis: Dear John
A young soldier falls for an idealistic col-
lege girl. Savannah Curtis (Amanda Sey-
fried) was on spring break when she met
John Tyree (Channing Tatum) who was
home on temporary leave. For the smitten
soldier it was practically love at first sight.
Over the course of the next seven years,
when each deployment seemed more
treacherous than the last, the love letters
that Savannah sent to John were one of the
few things that kept him going. However,
those loving and heartfelt correspondences
would ultimately yield consequences that
neither the brave soldier nor his one true
love could ever have foreseen.
