NYT today had a piece about 11 Canadian expats that was charming (is there another word to describe them). It was so charming that I could not pick just one quote; however, it was NOT so charming that I felt a need to go beyond two.
I remember singing “God Save the Queen” every morning in school. “Long live our noble Queen!” we belted, thousands of us tubby little obedient Canadians. I guess it...

Maybe I’ll start a newsletter for people who don’t sit in front of the...
