...almost twice the size of Rhode Island; to drive west from Toronto to the next large Canadian city, Winnipeg, takes 36 hours nonstop. Canadians, he learned, are literally a nation apart, their identity splintered by endless geography into ethnic and regional tributaries that do not form a national mainstream. Malcolm finds a large cultural significance in the small fact that one of the most popular imported beers in the U.S., Moose-head Canadian Lager, is available in 50 American states but only four of Canada's ten provinces.
