"Clinton's interest in the political process in the US is more as a spectator, since he is a Canadian citizen living in Canada."

I thought you knew better than that, CarolC. Our interest in the political process south of our border certainly exceeds that of mere spectator. Even for Clinton, though he'd probably profess otherwise.

If the U.S. farts, we get a full whiff.

There are also benefits, I hasten to add.
