From the Paper:

"Their specious, surface images in the international public eye could not be more diverse. Canada is often schematically depicted as a friendly land of stoic Mounties, clear views of mountaintops and uncluttered city streets, crisp air-and the home of Anne of Green Gables. Australia travel advertisements show a land of sunny beaches, strange wildlife, and strange English expressions such as to throw another shrimp upon the Barbie, and feature upside down seasons of blistering heat-and the home of the rustic Crocodile Dundee. Yet both of these nations do speak the Queen's English language, and both were once a part of the British crown. Both have experienced profound internal conflicts with their indigenous populations. Both embrace a wide diversity of cultures within their respective folds, partly due to geographic circumstances of great territorial and climatic diversity."
