Whoa! Canada!
Legal Marijuana. Gay Marriage. Peace. What the Heck's Going On Up North, Eh?
Peaceniks, pot and people of the same sex exchanging wedding vows: It's a trinity from the church of high liberalism, or a right-wing trifecta of decline and doom.
Either way, it's a perfect storm of cultural weather patterns that you'd expect to be brewed only in, say, the East Village, Dupont Circle or the intersection of Haight and Ashbury.
But no!
Can you say Saskatoon?
Banff?
Nunavut?
Just when you had all but forgotten that carbon-based life exists above the 49th parallel, those sly Canadians have redefined their entire nation as Berkeley North.
