Elizabeth was drawing a blank, so she pretends to be naïve and puts out this baiting piece. Canada was colonized by the  English and French, we're similar, they're more like us, for now at least, we can identify with them. Africa, only Gerry Caplan seems to care. Cold hard facts, we're are more comfortable with our own kind, we're wired that way, that's how we survived, we looked out for each other, call it prejudice, even racist but there it is. Now Elizabeth, don't be so lazy with your next column, put your own thoughts and feelings out there, dare you.
