Yeah, I was hearing from people that Canadians don’t care, and then the polls have shown that they do care; so, now I’m hearing they won’t care after the Olympics. We’ll see.
I’d be interested in knowing if anyone else cares. The Economist has had some nice editorials, but I’ve not seen anything elsewhere outside of Canadian outlets. I was sort of surprised not to see anything on the Daily Dish- Sullivan is usually up on torture issues.
