If you have access to a television, radio, newspaper or the Internet, you must certainly realize that Mexico has been front and center in the news recently. It seems that the immigration issue has reared its head to an unprecedented degree, dividing people who see eye-to-eye on a host of other issues. There is no doubt that this is an extraordinarily complex topic with roots that stretch far back into the history of both the United States and Mexico. I certainly would not presume to offer any comprehensive solution in this article, but rather would like to use the current immigration issue to point out a related phenomenon.

Specifically, it seems woefully obvious to me that by focusing so much on our neighbor to the south, we as Americans have largely ignored our neighbor to the north.

Perhaps there is something so stoic and reliable about the Canadian national character that it fails to qualify as sexy, titillating reportage. The merging of news and entertainment has obviously impacted the way we Americans see the world, and if one of the results of that trend is an ignorance of our Canadian friends, we are all poorer as a society for it.In the interest of reengaging America's collective imagination with Canada, let me ramble on a little bit about the excellent casinos that are waiting for your patronage north of the border.
