From: "Rich Gauszka" 

It looks like Reuters is the only news agency that I've seen so far that
reported an outrage. The other reports I've now seen ( Winnipeg, Toronto,
Vancouver  etc ) all seem to have a nonchalant attitude to the ruling

I now wonder of the Reuters reporter was a French Canadian trying to take a
dig at English speaking Canada 

I live in a border town (Detroit)  and one of the inducements for
convention business seems to be the strip clubs in Windsor Ontario.
