First off: the Bushwacking (for amyisyellow)

The newspaper says that GWB will be in Halifax next week. While there, he will thank the people of Halifax (and, one presumes, all of Atlantic Canada) for "opening their homes and hearts" to those stranded by 9/11.

Way to go, Bush! On behalf of the Hoods of Nova Scotia, you're welcome. And we understand, Mr. G-W, that you've had invasions to plan and elections to rig, and it's therefore understandable that the thankie-visit had to wait three years while you secured your stranglehold on the planet. We understand. While you're in the area, I suggest heading down to Lunenberg to see the Bluenose II. It's quite pretty.


In other news, Film History has finally turned the corner from silent movies and awkward sound films to the Classical Hollywood Cinema. Today's fare: Stagecoach. Every time I see that movie I like it more. It's really amusing to discuss it in a Canadian film classroom, because everyone loves talking about the hypocracy of the "myth of American nationbuilding" and yadda yadda. No one brought up the fact that Canadians can be racist or be hypocritical about class, or that Canada had an old West, too. But it's always with the "myth of American" nationhood, manifest destiny, democracy or whatever.

One wonders what Canada's national identity would be if we'd had a strong domestic film industry in the 30s to build our own myths beyond "The Cremation of Sam McGee" and Anne of Green Gables.
