A reader in Toronto: “Mr Derbyshire—I am a Canadian and I dimly remember

Canada getting caught spying on Japan a few years ago. I was dissappointed

that we got caught and confused as to why we would spy on Japan. The

incident was in the newspapers for a couple of days, we apologized and it

was quickly forgotten. The situation may have turned out differently if

significant portions of the Japanese population operated under the working

theory that there was a conspiracy of Canadians to subvert the foreign

policy of Japan, but stories like that sound a bit far-fetched.”

I wouldn’t be too sure, Sir. Those Chretienists will stop at nothing to

further their Greater Canada agenda.
