dewlineSome of you may be aware of the old Spider-Man saw about power and responsibility. No surprise that Tony Blair would be as well.
But that's not all he seems to be aware of, if one reads between the lines.
The idea that Canada might yet be a Great Power is not Blair's alone. Elizabeth Bear's mined that ground with her Jenny Casey novels. And before her albeit with about two decades' lead time, Richard Comely and company. I wonder if he's had access to those works, novels or comics.
Probably not. But the idea amuses me anyway.
