Definition of Canada

I heard a great description of Canada tonight on the Radio (CBC) program Ideas:

"Canada is the bumblebee of nations - it's a physical impossibility, but it flies"

It was said by this guy:

Roy MacGregor has spent thirty years travelling and writing about Canada. "You'd think I'd know something," he says. "I don't. I still don't understand how it works." In the 2006 Dalton Camp Lecture in Journalism, he describes some of his experiences and reflects on the "Journalism Personality"— something he says cannot be taught — and the privilege and practice of journalism.
