Canadian Content describes itself as a forum for thoughts and rants on what Canada is or isn’t from the inside and out, but lives on a server in the U.S. Ah well, patriotism is one thing, but free web space is another. This site could be much much worse than it is. The thought of yet another well-meaning but fuzzy exploration of What Canada Is might make you want to move to Australia, but this site at least makes your inevitable surrender to cultural naval gazing as painless as possible. Lots of the coverage is devoted to literature, the arts, and the funding thereof. The current issue also features a “Welcome back Joe Clark” story and, believe it or not, an impassioned defense of the Queen from an outraged Victorian monarchist. The site also includes some fiction and poetry, reviews of books written by other professional Canada-watchers, a review of the Nylons’ website (whoo hoo!), and a whole lot of links, including a section devoted to lactose intolerance. Because nothing says Canada like severe stomach cramps. (DW)
