Hi Folks,
I have been a political junkie since I was old enough to understand the news. I was lucky enough to travel a lot as a child, so look at politics from a world-view as much as possible, the inter-connectedness of countries and economic unions, etc. Given that the US is Canada's biggest trade partner and ally, I have always been fascinated (perhaps unhealthily so) with US politics and economics.
I hope to participate actively and perhaps provide a semi-outsider's perspective from time to time.
PS. I was very impressed by the general tone of the forums here...much less ranting than I have seen elsewhere. Perhaps the rep system helps to manage this to some extend but it is a welcome breath of fresh air, to discuss and debate politics without just slagging each other.
Best wishes,
Hrothgar
