Was speaking to another Canadian at a conference dinner last night, and both of us had grandparents liberated by Canadian forces during WWII (Italy for him, Holland for me) who subsequently moved to Canada. That’s a story, and a country, that I’m proud to be part of.

I'm sure the French are very upset that their world-famous art and culture are not appreciated by US conservatives who just 10 days ago displayed their own cultural finest: Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan, Amber Rose & their Jesus: a convicted felon who cheated on his wife with a porn star

As for emigration, there are countries out there who lock up citizens for criticising or insulting the head of state. Quite a few from which Lee Anderson could choose.

No subject is elite in and of itself until the wealthy remove your access to it.
