O' Canada / RE: (TV) O Mi Amore chorus?

Hey Greg, which Province do you live in, and how cold 
is it there right now?(

Thought you and Eric V. (is he still with us?) might enjoy 
this from yesterday's Boston Globe (Below, I'll attempt to 
make this On Topic somehow):

Very often Globe archives' links don't work unless you're 
a daily subscriber to the hard copy edition of the 
newspaper, so I've also pasted the Canadiahn 'stuff' below.

In a Giving Spirit, Readers Take Aim
December 27, 2005

I like to end each year with a healthy measure of bile 
and vituperation -- not my own, but readers' vitriol 
directed against me. A scheduling snafu torpedoed last 
year's readers-strike-back column, so now I have two years' 
worth of sputtering outrage to squeeze into one short outing.

The lost year meant nothing, because some readers are still 
fuming about columns I wrote in 2004. Earlier this month, 
Devin Lockhart, who says he is a 21-year-old Canadian journalism 
student, shared his thoughts about a column I wrote last fall, 
(''No, Canada,") which suggested that anti-George W. Bush 
hotheads should think twice before emigrating to Molsonland.

''Thank you for the article," Lockhart wrote. ''The epidemic 
of Americans moving north is reaching critical levels.
 . . . The greatest threat of course is to the Canadian 
genepool, which stands to diminish steadily. The inbreeding 
of Americans for hundreds of years has greatly taken its toll 
on their ability to think, speak, move, but unfortunately not 
their sex drive."

James Dukowksi thought the Canada column might win a ''Pulitzer 
Prize for poor taste" and reader Jonathan Mason objected 
to my comments about Snow Mexico's [i.e., Canada's] speech 
codes: ''Canada has no free speech? How's this? F_ _ _ you."

Back on topic, in a 1981 Dreamtime tour interview, T.V. was 
complaining about Elektra Records not giving him truthful reports 
about how many units of his or Televisions albums had sold [i.e., 
re: Tom's royalties]. T.V. said someone at Elecktra 
had told him that only one unit of an album had been sold 
in Canada , and that was a cassette!
