Gordon Sinclair was a very prominent reporter, broadcaster, columnist, and by his own admission, a real curmudgeon! He lived from 1900 to 1984, and he is still missed by a lot of us oldies. He wrote that piece in the early 1980's and it is a classic, and it does indeed represent how most Canucks feel about our Merkin cousins. There are exceptions to that, of course, just as I am certain that some Americans dont like us, but hopefully, they also are in the minority.....We can all hope and pray for a better week. Cheers, Doug in BC
