"It is difficult for non-Canadians to grasp just how vast a change this is. The skaters didn't like what happened to them, they kicked and yelled, and then something better happened to them. Many American stories could be summed up in that sentence, but for Canada, a country with a whole arsenal of shrugs and apologies and 'What's wrong with a silver, son?' explanations, that discovery was like the physicist Richard Feynman's discovery about sex: you mean, you just ask for it? Just to ask requires an accumulation of unembarrassed insolence that is known in America as cool. Canadians have often been cold, but not, Pierre Trudeau aside, cool."
Adam Gopnik, Blame Canada, The New Yorker, March 4, 2002

Save the Musee Mechanique!
