Belated though it may be.
The above T-shirt design is brought to you by the good people who support the Vermont secession movement.
In 2007, a poll by the University of Vermont's Center for Rural Studies found that 13 percent surveyed support secession from the United States of America, up from 8 percent a year before.
Why not? They were the first state in the union to outlaw slavery. They elected a Bernie Sanders, the first openly-socialist American senator, in 2006. They have maple syrup, beautiful foliage and they seemed very polite the last time I visited.
I hope you had a very smug and self-satisfied Canada Day. Though few of us had a choice about being Canadians, let us be thankful for that accident of birth. It could be much, much worse.
We now return to the previously scheduled drinking of beer, picking up after ourselves and complaining that the weather is either too hot or too cold.
