Benning Boy, I can concur that world has indeed gotten crazy, and security/paranoia has become a big thing in the US. I also get your question about security. Several years ago I was in Nashville for an event and did some sight-seeing on the final day. I was really shocked when I walked into the state legislature and was greeted by a State trooper and metal detector. This was a level of security I had never experienced before, not even in our National Parliament Buildings. Now I know the world is changing, and you may discover some of that, but I don't think to any extent that you do in your own country.

Regarding the Canadian thought-police and the horrible evils of socialism that you may have heard about up here, my take on all that is that those comments are made by some of your politicians to score political points with their base, and so far as we Canucks are concerned are completely unmoored from reality. Can't wait to meet you in a couple of weeks.
