My (obvious??) thought is that Canada's vast wild-lands, low population and economic dependence on extraction foster a view of nature as a set of exploitable resources. Similar views were driving factors in the US westward expansion and teh growth of resource-based industries there. I'm sure these views are still prevalent south of the border but they may be ebbing--perhaps due to more-rapid exhaustion of the US supply of nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5572572718697589789.post-37537239193072267372009-08-26T13:28:58.823-07:002009-08-26T13:28:58.823-07:00America seems to be stronger but they are still Am...America seems to be stronger but they are still Americans so we are better.
