beCanadians.\"—Chief Dan George.  \n“Ignorance fathers contempt.”—Quebec poet FélixLeclerc.  \nCanadians used to believe —and many still hope —that they harbour some special genius for compromise.It's at least as easy to prove that our real knack is forturning opportunities into problems.  \nSeen from abroad by both foreigners and Canadi-ans,Canada looks like paradise.Long queues of im-migrants —seeking freedom,tolerance and prosperity—say so.So does the United Nations:apart from call-ing on us routinely as a trusted peacekeeper,it esti-mates that we enjoy the second highest level of “humandevelopment\"on earth (after Japan,based on literacy,schooling,life expectancy,national wealth).  \nYet seen from within,Canada looks to Canadianslike a pessimist's nightmare of Hell.That's the
