I have American friends and co-workers and I continue to be amazed that smart people can’t look across the border and say “Oh, that works” and copy. Canadians can be almost as blind, the recent battle to legalize marijuana was a good example, I can’t count the number of times I said “that’s not what happened in the US” Health care is particularly bizarre. I’ve had Americans tell me about Canadians dying in droves in Emergency Rooms while standing on the shore of the St. Lawrence. I felt like screaming “Canada is right there, you can see the flags!” How could they know so little about us when they shop and go to the theatre in Montreal?
