The only thing worse than listening to xenophobic/racist rants of nationalist separatists is hearing the self-entitled reactionary whining of Anglo-Canadian nationalist federalists.

"White" and "caucasian" are not the same thing.

Can you imagine all of the confused and disappointed young Twilight fans watching a Cronenberg movie? I might see this in the theatre just for that.
