You might be interested in knowing how things look through the other end of the telescope. Although I’m a second generation Canadian, my ancestry is American as far as I can trace it. Some of those ancestors were veterans of the Civil War, the Mexican War, and the American Revolution. I myself served in the US Navy off the coast of Viet Nam. In many ways I feel I should be entitled to American citizenship, but I’m not. In any event, I prefer living in Canada, but I sometimes wish the border to the south of me was abolished and replaced by one somewhere east of Alberta. And It would give me great pleasure to vote against Patti Murray if I could.
