goose droppings Ottawa Jan. 22 Allow me to state something that is obvious to Canadians, but will shock many US citizens: we know their country better than they know it themselves. The average Canadian (whom Carney called the best educated in the world, but I’ll take that with a grain of potash) is saturated with US media, and its geography, leading politicians, and history. Our businesses must know its legal and financial system in great detail; our diplomats must always speak knowing its policies. So it is no surprise to us that Carney was the one to concisely state the facts and come to the inevitable conclusion: the United States of America, in its ignorance, greed, racism and violence - all made flesh in its current president - is untrustworthy and potentially dangerous. To change, the USA must come to know itself much better: be better educated, and stop telling itself lies.
