I don’t know whether to point out that December was four months ago or April Fools Day was five days ago.
And speaking of neutrally playing a speech, you know when I took a class in college about the Third Reich, that material was actually presented pretty neutrally. Well, about as neutrally as you can get from a professor I nicknamed Miss Menopause in my head. The gloom, fear, and other negative emotions come naturally, and then in the discussion everyone says something a little different. The miracle was that there even were “two sides” in a totalitarian country.

The principles of the “Chicago Statement“, now adopted by about 100 colleges and universities in the States, would serve as a good model for the Canucks. But, what, what, although we invaded Canada a half dozen times in the War of 1812, we didn’t finish the job and we really don’t have a lot to say about what they do, eh?
