I hope we can live up to that in the future.

You can tell a lot about a society by looking at their grocery store parking lot. I never realized this until I moved back to Canada from the US.

I lived in many US cities, often grocery carts were left to roam freely in the breeze. It seems a minority of American communities use the "grocery cart" gather area (whatever they're called). Too many unpack their groceries and leave the cart where it stands.

When I returned to Canada I'm proud to say that most Ontario grocery stores where I live people take the time to put their cart away before driving off. I think it speaks of active participation in a community, that they're not just an island unto themselves.

Just a random observation of someone whose lived equally parts on either side of the border and loves both countries.
