The Other Side

As a country we tend to measure ourselves against our neighbours to the South. On the occasion of our respective national navel-gazing holidays Maclean's magazine took the time to do an in-depth comparison of the two nations. What they found can be summed up in this sentence - "The numbers are in. Compared to the U.S., we work less, live longer, enjoy better health and have more sex. And get this: now we're wealthier too."

This will no doubt be a great source of pride for all of us on this side of the 49th parallel until we remember that a Canadian team has not won a Stanley Cup since the Habs did it in '93. Nevertheless, it looks like we are doing some things right.
