This Post Intentionally Left Blank

Ha ha, a little government publication humour there.

As I mentioned, I'm not updating this blog anymore. However, here are a few excellent resources for people interested in things Canadian-and-American-ish.

Hillwatch.com has a clearinghouse of public policy resources here: http://www.hillwatch.com/PPRC/

For accents, here's a site, the International Dialects of English Archive (IDEA): http://web.ku.edu/~idea/index.htm, with the Canadian page at http://web.ku.edu/~idea/northamerica/canada/canada.htm

And here's a link to a blog about English dialects I linked to previously: http://dialectblog.com/ Look at all those language resources listed there to the right!

A book by Canadian writers traveling through the U.S. (note that I'm not recommending it--just that I noticed it): http://breakfastattheexitcafe.com/

Canadians in the U.S. have an official government network, Connect2Canada, and they distribute interesting info tidbits about research and initiatives in Canada: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/washington/offices-bureaux/connect-lien.aspx

There. That should take care of Americans interested in Canada.

As for Canadians interested in the U.S., well...you have rather more resources to start with (mainstream media, for starters). Just remember that generalizations about Americans can be as inaccurate as those about Canadians.

Go forth and be friendly, ye nations.
