Barry Artiste Op.Ed
Guess this story shows why you can't put the city into a country boy! Or is this Lost in Political Translation?
Canada’s had some great divides in its history. French versus English. East versus West. Oil producers versus oil consumers (or is that still east versus west?). But one that’s on the radar, and growing in ferocity is the rural versus urban divide in Canada. Are we becoming two solitudes? Is there common ground? Sun Media’s country gentleman Michael Den Tandt and urbanite Rob Granatstein go searching ...

"DEN TANDT: Let me simplify. We country bumpkins are tired of taking dictation from a bunch of knob-kneed, pigeon-chested metrosexuals whose idea of hardship is a price rise at Starbuck's. No offense meant."
Friend of yours, Barry? Talks like you. :)

You know Roy, I read this and thought someone was impersonating me on this poll as Den Tant ? Thanks
