We're still quite democratic and reasonably nice (we've never started a war, but we've never lost one either) but the current Regressive Conservative regime can be a little un-Canadian at times.

Even Heil Harper won't ban Bitcoin to appease his corporate buddies though, unless he does so to toady up to his political bosses in Washington D.C., but the US government doesn't show any signs of being anti-Bitcoin. Yet.

Hopefully we'll get a more progressive government in the next federal election.
