CAMUS: Absurd North America

By: Peter Robbins

CAMUS: Absurd North America is intended as a humorous comparison of US and Canadian political language and culture—more entertaining than enlightening. Some of its topical references will inevitably lose topicality because of the unstoppable flow of political and other events. Two aspects of it may be of special interest: aboriginal affairs, in Canada mostly; and Social Credit government in BC, a curiosity for most Canadians too. One take-away might be a "philosophical" (in both senses of that word) reaction to politics.
