Welcome to Canada !

Over the next 12 months you will have to pass basic proficiency tests in Mandarin, Cantonese, 3 Persian Dialects of Arabic, Ukrainian, Albertan, Hindi, Ojibway, Rasta, Quebecois French, Newfie, Hebrew and Acadian.

You will also need to acquire and learn how to wear a tuque, a turban, a fleece Mountain Equipment Coop anorak, and a backpack with a Canadian flag sewn onto it.

As part of your swearing-in ceremony you will have to recite the number of different ways GW Bush is known to be a moron, as well as the number of ways the Canadian PM Jean Poutine has outfoxed him since his election in 2001.

And finally, your new Canadian pen-sponsors must show a video of you driving up to the Canada US Border between midnight and5 a.m. and shouting across into US airspace “We Said NO to Iraq…so there”.

Welcome, brother, welcome.

Your weblog does feel similar to the Canadian blogs I know.

My result was as extreme as yours in the Idealism and Autonomy quadrant. And then to think I’m viewed as somewhat of a conservative here in the Netherlands

“I don’t consider myself an extreme example of any of those views when compared with others I know. ”

Even individualists come in flocks, it is just that the cardinal numbers of those are smaller. At the same time, areas covered are larger as cohesion is based on more substantial values.

As a Welshman I scored very similar to you, not quite so far over to to the right and fulfilment as you.

I was pretty much right in the same spot as you.

As a first generation, but young (not yet 30) immigrant to the UK (1988 was the fateful year), I’m hoping Britain figures in the same corner of the Idealism & Autonomy quadrant that your green spot appears in.

I actually think most people in this country would in be in this quadrant, or at least on the boundaries of it.
