...home with a dvd rented from the online, pay-as-you-go easyCinema service. Price? Just $3.50. The picture? Easy Rider. The next morning, nine passengers shuttled up the motorway to Luton airport inside a bright orange bus with a cracked windscreen and grinding brakes. A German and a Canadian seated to my right griped about paying $10 after missing the easyBus Holy Grail - the $2 starting price. Having paid $7.50, I kept quiet.

Pay attention to Canadian politics: what Canada represents may be about to change...

To this end, the government paid a number of advertising firms to advertise the wonders of Canada in the francophone province, by sponsoring events and by placing—seemingly randomly—conspicuous Canadian flags all over Quebec. The problem: most of the money for this pro-Canadian publicity blitz went to friends of the Liberal party. As a result, Québecois are today far from convinced that Canada is amazing, and many people from other provinces have begun to express similar doubts...
