David Wilkins was interviewed on CBC/RCI show "As it Happens". He doesn't
know anything about the country he has been appointed ambassador to.
Nothing. He deflected all questions about Canada, apparently b/c his
qualification for the job is that he is about as informed as the appointer.
He knows no geography, no idea of the national anthem, let alone being
smart enough to turn down an interview until he gets briefed. Those with
low expectations for an appointee could not have imagined such an idiot in
their wildest dreams.

Oh, and it is important to you if you're an American. Wilkins doesn't know
why. Do you?
