Very true, one man's freedom fighting villain is another man's hero....and it's mostly defined by who won. In history, it is logical tha an idntifiable group does what they can to promote their common cause.

As an Atlantic Canadian, I see a way out of long-standing economic stagnation is closer ties, economic, cultural and even political is to the south. The problem is, the Canadian approach to a more caring society, (free-market social models seem scary to us) tends to link our aspeations more westward, rather than southward. But, that may change....as Canadian society could move more left....and by challenges that may be put forward by our Quebec neighbour. And, the way economic trends are moving, the USA economic model may turn out to be not as desirable in the near future?
