I'm getting on in years and can remember the days of US draft dodgers coming up and settling down in our safe haven. Perhaps not a coincidence that those were the years of Pierre Trudeau, who wasn't much liked by the warmongers to the south.

They, the draft dodgers, brought their energy and ideals and they were an inspiration for me - a young kid who learned that peace could be glorious. More glorious than racist wars of conquest, that's for sure.

And now it's like the USA hasn't learned anything in all that time, but is worse than ever. Not even bothering to do body counts. One thing is almost universal when I talk to random people, everyone seems to agree that the US is fucking crazy. That it makes no sense at all anymore.
