Sometime ago I ended up in Winnipeg, Canada, giving a presentation about digital creativity vs. copyright restrictions laws since I became a "political blogger" by way of being a digital rights activist. While at the conference I found out from several of my Canadian colleagues that the country takes a sort of pleasure out of being more restrictive than the United States in many of their regulatory laws.

The reason why I say this is because this video clip explains why Canada is not steeped in the subprime lending doo-doo that has fouled the U. S. economy.

BTW : You can round-up your knowledge with the video shown in a previous post by Marc. If you are feeling adventurous, check the clip by the Center For American Progress and compare and contrast it with the clip I provide here. The video gives good info but the delivery ... well ... it's just too 'think tanky'.
