O RLY?

In Canada, there is an understandable temptation to view Russia as our eastern hemispheric twin, a similarly vast northern nation that shares our frozen topography, untapped oil reserves and devotion to hockey.

But the historical legacies of the two countries could scarcely be more different.


Still, though: sounds like an interesting book.

Whaaaaa? This is news to me, especially since Canada has lots and lots of Eastern European immigrants who did not have the best relations with Mother Russia.
