Oz vs. Trudeaupia - Guess who has more relevance?

Mark Steyn provides an insightful and whimsical comparison of Australia vs. Canada. You can read it here. Most Canadians will dismiss it as hogwash. But then again, most Canadians have had their collective heads stuck in the sand for decades.

I've long wondered when Canada was going to evolve beyond its teenager like idealisms and become a serious adult on the world stage. This past week's news that certain NDP'ers are comparing Canadian soldiers with terrorists and that a reported 22% of Canadians believe that 9-11 was a huge neo-con conspiracy provide proof positive that it ain't going to happen anytime soon.
