Making Connections: 6561. Unquestionably Monstrous by Alex Colvin	3	24	Sep 08, 2022 02:31PM

“The truth is Canada is a cloud-cuckoo-land, an insufferably rich country governed by idiots, its self-made problems offering comic relief to the ills of the real world out there, where famine and racial strife and vandals in office are the unhappy rule.”
― Mordecai Richler, Barney's Version
