Case in point: motor vehicle safety standards. The Canadians for the longest time from the early ’70’s followed US law almost slavishly. Much of their environmental and economics laws follow our, too. For a while, rather than being America’s hat, it was almost they were America’s parrot. It’s good to see that within the last decade or so they’ve started coming to their senses. A rather conservative government hasn’t hurt.

Honestly, they’re like rag-pickers. Any little bit of influence they can find gets tucked away in a code section. We need a good house cleaning.
