Why the turnabout? Because Canada is having a nationwide attack of virtue. Corruption scandals have steadily eroded the government's grip on power - in direct proportion to its impressive longevity. Canada, famous for hockey, waggish comedians and an unforgiving Arctic climate, is also home to one of the world...
