LETTERS, Page 10Follies and Foibles
Since I am Canadian, you may be tempted to say, "Here's another
letter from some Canadian with a chip on her shoulder about
American influence." But I would like to point out the folly of
Kurt Andersen's criticism of the new Canadian Museum of
Civilization (DESIGN, July 10). I don't know much about
architecture in a scholarly sense, but this I do know: when I see
the museum, its design brings to mind images of the ferocious and
beautiful landscapes of Canada. I believe this is what architect
Douglas Cardinal intended. For many Canadians, despite all our
supposed insecurity about the U.S., the land gives us our identity
and is our greatest source of pride.

The new museum is in Hull, Que., across the river from Ottawa,
as you reported in the story, not in Toronto, as your index says.
Your gaffe only reflects the American attitude that all Canadian
cities are the same.
Howard Bokser
Cote St. Luc, Que.
We really do know better. Sorry about the geographic goof.
