Canadian Geographic comes to our house and some French stuff from NB and Quebec! The Le Monde Quebec is in our library, but then we are in Louisiana and our French Section has mainly Parisian stuff. The Kids Textbooks in French come from Up North!
I get The Walrus, This, Geist, and Canadian Geographic. I was also getting Saskatchewan Naturally, but let the subscription lapse.
I've picked up The Broken Pencil a couple of times. Same with Canadian Dimension. I generally just check them out on the net though.

I have never read any of these magazines. I believe I've heard of "The Beaver".
I was aware of Frank magazine and remember it because of the dust-up with Mulroney and family. But, that is all.
Pretty amazing, eh? As a Canadian, and as a political junkie .... I was always interested in world events. Yuh know, the election for mayor of Toronto was over and I never even knew it was on. I hardly ever follow community or provincial politics. I'm not braggin' about it. I'm simply telling you my interests.
Whatever happens in the States arrives in Canada within 10 years. I always figured if I studied Americans .... I'd always be at least 10 years ahead of Canadian policy.
I studied or read Canadian history. I've travelled across Canada 3 times and I worked in the far North. But, I never followed our politics very closely.
Pretty weird, eh?

Never had much interest in Canadian History until I retiredand didn't buy any of our books or magazines until then,not counting Saturday Night[subscribed to that until it went with the National Post]. So,I know way too much about the Americans and not enough about us. That's changing tho -I have a couple of dozen of our histories now,the Canadian Encyclopedia,some Canadian Art books,and a nice stack of periodicals. Broken Pencil is mostly about fanzines and independent music[only 20 bucks for 2 years or 6 issues].

Whatever happens in California arrives here in Louisiana in about 10 yrs! Really to study trends, see what happens in California or New York and it will travel outward. Don't think Canada is without influence in this game, thanks to you, the US has:
1. Looney type Bronze Dollars
2. Quarters celebrating every State.
3. Our Paper Money is being coloured to fit YOUR scheme!
4. French on our packaging along with Spanish!
5. A push for more universal Healthcare!
6. Educational TV shows by the CBC on Cable!
7. Nightly news from Ottawa on C-span!
8. Your Parliement covered by C-Span with a comparision of
the issues weekly with our congress!
9. Enviromental awareness!
10. Thousnads of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool Rail Cars Lined up at
the Port of New Orleans, Houston, Mobile and Galveston to
load out and create jobs for the ports here along the Gulf
Coast!
I know the influence goes the other way too, blame Hollywood!
Don't forget the dirtiest trick we ever pulled on you guys-we gave you Celine Dion[and we're not one bit sorry!]
