Readers took offense at Spite's hard-line view of the Canadian culture, which was "Canada is Boring" (expressed in our article on Alanis Morisette).Instead, we are instituting a less condemning view: "Canada is Maine." In our view, they're both full of trees and not much else. They're both states in America (basically). And they both have large fishing and hockey fan industries. But don't take our word for it. Below is an unbiased presentation of some vital statistics on both Canada and Maine, presented here for your consideration.
