Most people who know me even in passing know this: I have an inexplicable hatred of Canadians based on little else than seeing Strange Brew once when I was nine. I find their well-scrubbed faces suspicious, their non-accents grating and their willingness to live in below-freezing temperatures baffling. Hmm...maybe it is explicable. But these two young men are making me take a long hard look at my prejudice against our neighbors to the North and my prejudices in general (except against tall people—they are freaks and I don’t like them).

I think the Kanook had a lot to do with reinforcing my ideas about Canadians. He just kept turning up! In cold places without a jacket! With a clean face!
