...Independence, with its ringing "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness," Canada's Constitution enjoins "Peace, Order and Good Government." For a people preoccupied from the outset with conquering a harsh land, that was mandate enough.

But Emily Sisson (Alison) played a trembly faun while Tracy Goss. (Helena) played a la-de-dah matron. So at the end we concentrated on an antique question: which type woman will Jimmy wind up with? Instead we should be watching Jimmy's final gesture of abandon...
