Timothy Garton Ash has a brilliant piece in the UK Guardian Weekly, On the wrong continent, about why Canada is more EU than EU is… and why we ‘rulz’. DO check it out.

Driving through Toronto last week I saw a shiny black 4×4 with an English flag sticking out of one side window and a German flag out of the other. Presumably a Canadian family of mixed English and German origin, so rooting for both teams in the World Cup. A little later I saw a car with the Portuguese flag on one side and the Italian on the other.
It occurred to me that this pretty much sums up what we’ve been trying to achieve in Europe since the second world war. Welcome to the European Union - in Canada.

In fact why doesn’t the EU invite Canada to join at once?

This video will be compulsory in my winterclass, I hope: YouTube - A Beginners Guide To Faking Your Death On The Internet. It is very much like the chapter Learning Cyberspace: An Educational View that Joel and I wrote for Ann R’s Building Virtual Communities: Learning and Change in Cyberspace. Cambridge Unviersity Press, 2002. Cept it is more betterer.
Brought to you compliments of shelly.
