Stoneleigh,

Thanks for the summary from Canada. I find the news and views from Canada, UK (via BBC) and Australia (via Energy Bulletin links) to be a refreshing contrast to the talking TV heads here in the US. There seems to be a more thoughtful consideration taking place elsewhere than here in the land of hype.

What would it take to get you folks to consider annexing the USA?

LOL! I think we might be considering that - in the sense that the flea might try to 'annex' the dog it's living on ;)

My favourite mainstream media is BBC World, as Europe seems more prepared than North America to take a hard look at a range of issues (not hard enough IMO, but harder than here).

Well, if you read news from Russia, Asia and continental Europe, odds are that the portion they agree on is possibly true. :-)
