Re: Canadian Values
Nice tune! 
I'll take my laptop to the club with me the next while and when she comes in I''ll play that for my Novocastrian friend in the wheelie-chair, she'll probably love hearing Geordie again. We've done the virtual tour of her landmarks with her driving the little gold street-view man but a lot has changed since she left.

Re: Canadian Values
If you are taking requests... Arthur's Hill area 27 Callerton Place (close to Brighton Grove, and the General Hospital - though I'm fairly sure I read that that is closed now) Also the Brighton Tandoori, which surely can't be closed???

Re: Canadian Values
One Canadian value seems to be to constantly bash the US, which makes living here a difficult task at times... But then those same Canadians will flock to the US to buy crap and take vacations, really odd place sometimes...

Re: Canadian Values
It's actually a lack of national maturity. Give it another century and Canada will start feeling more secure about its place in the world. However, as Oink notes, there is a whiff of hypocrisy with the vacation thing.

Re: Canadian Values
I have wondered about 'national maturity'. What is obvious, I think, is very few appreciate debate or alternative points if view at any level, even in education. Then again, if a whole people can afford to retain the lackings of immaturity and indulge in the knowledge that the older sibling next door is always available, why not? It's worked for over a century!

it's almost as if I'd never heard of the Internet Struggling to manoeuvre round to the front of house, but it's not really looking like the area has changed/improved much

Re: Canadian Values
Canadian values, as espoused by the former government of Our Glorious Steve, seem to include complicity in "extraordinary rendition," enthusiastic support of interrogation-by-torture when carried out by Syrian and Egyptian inquisitorial offices, and thorough and total disregard for the principles of consular assistance given to citizens detained in a foreign country.

Kellie Leitch's supposed "conversation" on Canadian Values is a very thinly veiled xenophobic rant, with an awful lot of barely-disguised anti-Islamic rhetoric dressed up as jingoism and wrapped in cuddly words. It's poisonous and despicable.
