``...someone living in the US, a unilingual English speaking person with no appreciable political awareness of Canada, a crude caricature capitalist...  Let`s have a look at those objectionable traits, Concordia.  

Living in the US: hundreds of thousands of Canadians live in the US for months every year.  Thousands have purchased homes down there. Ùnilingual: O`Leary has something in common with the vast majority of Canadians (many of whom remember how difficult it was to learn French in school--huge sympathy vote, right there!).  No appreciable political awareness of (choose country): well, that didn`t stop Trump, Ronald Reagan, or Lester Pearson--lots of serious sports experience and time in a meat-packing plant--from running for office. And winning.

A crude caricature capitalist.  People everywhere--and especially in Canada--think capitalists are ``crude.`` Caricature: you bet.  That`s what works on TV.  Milton Beryl, Groucho Marx and Ed Wynn the Fire Chief knew that, decades ago.
