    My dreams of moving to a nordic country for the comparative freedoms and advantages they offer over the states is slowly slipping away. Its like the evangilistic christians have taken over Marklar with their marklars and marklars.

    Get real!!! Canada, like Finland and most everywhere else in Europe, is just another de-facto commercial dependancy of the USA. Without the USA snapping the whip, do you think any other country would be bothering with legislation like this?
