80 minutes, 2005
Around the world, Canada is known for its beavers, Mounties and winter climate, in brief a boring country. However, a new image is emerging since in 2003, gay marriage was legalized and marijuana was decriminalized on the very same day. Then, Americans, citizens from “the land of the free”, flocked across the border to marry their same-sex partners, smoke marijuana or escape army service. Canada suddenly became cool. But within months, Canada re-criminalized marijuana and a new campaign emerged to stop gay marriage. A clear shift to the right.
