True to a degree, Bill... BUT then again, nearly all of Canada is socialist...the eastern provinces much more so than the western....AND that alone says something all by itself. The people we talked to were mostly middle class folks....the housekeeping and host staff at the large Inn where we stayed, LOTS of shopkeepers of all sorts, and several folks in an upscale Pub over near the Victoria Golf Club.... <g> Even sat next to a retired professor and his wife...They were more interested in their soda bread than they were us...<another grin> I rather liked his earring. Only ONE guy out of maybe 100 or so folks we chated with was openly irritated with the Americans....and that was because his merchandise was so expensive, you had to be 'belled in'....or have a previously set appointment.... and the Americans just weren't buying like they did a couple of years ago... He was a total kick...told us that since the American market had shut down, that people weren't buying many of the $150,000+ pieces of furniture, etc very often...He seemed to be at odds with his socialist views on one hand and and his business efforts on the other. Spent the last couple of months in England and Europe buying high end reproductions to bring to his shop...LOL! He sorta reminded me of a craggy old replica of an 1800's sailor...
