- I am somewhat bewildered by the rather spiteful anti-Canadian rantings of
- T.A. Kaldis. His comment "...Canadians are so complacently willing to
- surrender their fundamental personal liberties (not to mention ever
- increasing amounts of tax dollars) to a government..."(etc. etc., ad nausium)
-
- Kaldis, coming from a country with a strong tradition of doubting
- the utility of government, assumes that Canadians must be complacent,
- for we seem to allow our governments more powers over our daily lives
- than do our American cousins.
