I was thinking lately how much I lean towards Canada comes down to long stretches when I've had to tune out NPR in favor of the CBC for my sanity, as a resident of near-DC Maryland, when our domestic radio becomes a constant keening of the T-word. There's also the thing of growing up with NFB films on chattering 16mm projectors in 1970s schools. Is there a Canadian version of a "weeb?"
And yes, I belong to a curling league, but I'm bad at it.
