Will B.C. Elect John Kerry? By Scott Deveau and Kathleen Haley, TheTyee.ca
Diana Kerry’s round up this week through Western Canada confirmed one of our worst fears; that we are indeed the 51st state - or at least when it comes to the federal election we are.
With an estimated 600,000 American expatriates living north of the 49th, Canada has a higher population of Americans living within its borders than either the District of Columbia or Wyoming. Which explains why John Kerry’s younger sister has been making the rounds addressing hundreds of Democratic supporters in Calgary and Vancouver this week to try and drum up support for her brother’s run for presidency.
