And goes a long way to explaining foreigners perceptions of Canada as being an excruciatingly boring place. I often have a hard time convincing them that we're not. This is a country where beige is a colour. That stereotypical 'Canadian' identity can't die soon enough, imo. Some old time Canucks are as dry as toast. Why that's something to aspire to is beyond me.

It's these exact same traits that the world was praising when Canada didn't slide into near oblivion in 2008. Spectacle is nice when things are good but when the time comes to pay the bill it may not be so sweet.
