My normal rule is to never publish email addresses or names without expressed permission. But in this case, I’ll make an exception. The following email came from the email address, “[email protected]”:

In reference to your article last year on Canada being wimps… You’re the biggest idiot I’ve ever encountered and I work in a mental institution. You’re an obtuse piece of flotsam that doesn’t have the mentality to get a better job and instead writes weak articles in magazines, expressing his personal bias. Where did you get your degree or do you even have one? Comments such as yours are they main cause of anti-Americanism. You’ve definitely made me anti-American just because you’re too conceited to look at the world objectively. Congratulations. Hopefully your employers will do the right thing and fire you. Up yours!
