I also believe that Gus is a metophor for the USA, but please don't say "we have something of a bird's-eye view of American politiks" - you sound just as arrogant as the you claim Americans to be. We don't take a "bird's-eye view" but we do observe, as the politics of the US affect us greatly. Don't get angry like every other Canadian just because Americans don't pay much attention to us. That doesn't give us the right to stick our noses up at them.
