Canada? Polluted? Where? I have seen a desolate moonscape around a nickel smelter up near Thunder Bay or wherever it was. But other than that, last time I checked Canada was clean as a whistle.

Comparing Beijing's foul air to Canada is a joke. Okay, the muck from Beijing blows across the Pacific Ocean and pollutes Canada, but that's not Canada's fault.

<The people certainly don't live to our standards,but they were decently dressed and seemed to be healthy.>

Healthy? Didn't you see the air pollution, smoking, hear the coughing and see the hoiking?

Having tidy clothes is hardly a great economic achievement these days. Remember, Yiwu the Mad's premise was that China's great leaders have done as well as the leaders of the "Westerners".
