Northern exposure
American soldiers are fleeing the Iraq war for Canada -- and U.S. officials may be on their trail. North of the border is no longer the safe haven it was during the Vietnam era.

    THE CANADIAN BIT (well, really the Torontonian bit)

    Toronto is Canada's largest city, and it is surrounded by Canada's largest sprawl. The city proper falls within the area code 416. The suburbs are 905. There is not a single Conservative MP in the 416...

    That's not relevant to the argument above... I just want to point out that I didn't vote for Harper or any of his cronies!

    The biggest shame in Canadian politcs at the moment (aside from our endemic inability to deal with our First Nations and the issue of Quebec separation) is the Ontarian rejection of the Conservative Party of Canada. There's this perception of the Conservatives as this evil right-wing party full of lunatics, but if they were only co-opted by Ontario then they'd (probably) be brought further to the left, and more importantly we'd actually have a second national party again.

    I personally would like the Green Party to take off, but I worry that the next election will bring back the Liberal Party solely on the power of the Ontario vote.
