    "Anyone who is even moderately good at what they do -- in literature, the theatre, skiing or whatever -- tends to become a national figure. And anyone who stands out at all from the crowd tends to be praised to the skies and given the Order of Canada at once," Moran wrote in his letter, according to files released to the BBC.

    I would agree with that statement.

Furthermore, the country's "architecture is monotonous and their interior decoration hideous."

    Who cares? Too many Brits are insufferably arrogant and still think the sun rises and sets on their dreary little island. That annoying poster Great Briton (who used to post here all the time) is an excellent example of the type (EB gets a pass).
