The country’s recent actions are anything but neighborly.
Canada, our neighbor to the north as it is sometimes called, evokes mainly pastoral and benign images: vast timber, mineral, and other oil and gas resources; the mighty Canadian National Railway featured in one of Gordon Lightfoot’s ballads; the splendor of the Banff resort and the glacial Lake Louise; famous hockey teams taking slap shots from the blue line; Sergeant Preston of the Yukon and his Alaskan Malamute named Yukon King; U.S. and Canadian military personnel working seamlessly for North American air defense; and a quasi-European and liberal socialist culture, with a hint of smugness.
But is Canada really all that neighborly?
