Canada is as wide and diverse a country as the U.S. It surely has
it's share of the brilliant, the brave, the fools, and the utterly
useless excuses for men, just like we do. In 40 years of visiting
Canada, I have only become acquainted with one "kook" of the
Nelson, BC ilk, and he was the son of a German prisoner of war who
was given permission to stay and become a citizen after WWII. His
pussy-warped view of history was that the U.S. only won the cold
war because we out-spent the soviets.

The causes of the Soviet disintegration have been mythologized and
over-simplified. Perhaps we can thank that old genius Reagan for
dumbing it all down, well, that was his shtick after all.

And your dumbed down historical revision is better how? Anyway have fun
with it while the rest of us stick with the original.
