“Well your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation”
When Billy Joel sang that line in his Only the Good Die Young he was of course referring to a bad reputation. Or maybe a fun one. But if reputations count, Canada is sitting pretty as, on the eve of our 150 birthday, we have been named the world’s most reputable country! I realize that this and $4.85 will get you a cup of Starbucks’ coffee, but it’s nice to be appreciated once every so often.
I’s just so damn hard living up to it!

At least you don’t have to be embarrassed by your government. I never imagined I would ever feel like that.
