CHAPTER XXII

CANADA

Canada, with the exception of Mexico, is the only part of North America
not ruled by the Irish.

[Illustration: "The apparel oft proclaims the man."--HAMLET.]

In former days it was a popular Health Resort for frenzied financiers
who wished to retire from private life.

It is now a still more popular resort for Americans suffering from
thirst.

Though next door neighbours and rivals in business and, what is still
more trying, near relatives, Canada and the United States are the best
of friends.

For over a hundred years there has not been so much as a picket-fence or
a policeman, much less a patrol or a fortification, on the border line
between the two countries.

Canada has not, like her sister Columbia, "severed home ties"; she is
perfectly happy under the parental roof, earns her own living, has a
latch key and stays out as late as she pleases and has never been able
to understand "why girls leave home."

Though differing in many respects, the United States and Canada have so
much in common and are so nearly of the same age and size that, in any
musical comedy of Nations, the two might easily pass for a "sister
turn."

* * *

The inhabitants of Canada are the most Moral and Patriotic people in the
World, and their army is second to none in bravery and won the World
War.
