A U.S. View: Freedom, Canadian Style - Escape To Canada

This Canada is most assuredly not, as hinted in the first few minutes of the film, boring, even though in the film, Stephen Harper gets tagged with the sobriquet “The Baron of Boring.” Yes, it does seem the country American liberals (the real small-l ones) dream of. It was 80 minutes of pure reinforcement for them and for me. For you see, I'm one of the Americans at whom Neremberg seems to be aiming his siren song of Canada. By the end of the film I was ready to pack my bags. But there's still all that damn paperwork. Now, if you're a conservative, Bush-lovin' manifest-destiny type American, you might feel differently about Escape to Canada. Nerenberg said he aimed his documentary at both audiences. “It's funny that the film so far, has been received very well in the States,” said Nerenberg. “I think most Americans like where it's going and it's not an attack on Americans by any means.” As for the siren song of Canadian freedom, Nerenberg says that's nothing new. http://www.rabble.ca/columnists_full.shtml?x=47312 [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on March 8, 2006]
