I haven't watched the video, but I looked up this Tom Brokaw's name and learned that he is American. An American explaining Canada to other Americans is like a man explaining to a women about her own period. :roll:

I always liked this quote: "A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who has never owned a car." -- Carrie Snow

A Yank trying to explain Canada is is as futile as a Canuck trying to explain America ... a point the OP has so graciously proven on many, many occasions ...
