How is Canada? I hear it's great for the arts and not bad for techno, my
girlfriend loves vancouver.

I was talking with a Canadian about this at the weekend (not sure if
the guy's is still on the list, he said he used to be.)
I was somewhat surprised to hear that techno, in the widest sense, was
still 'happening' in Montreal (more than Toronto). Maybe I shouldn't
have been though, with the well-known ascendance of the glitch/minimal
house trend in that city. I suppose the Mutek festival is the best
manifestation of that. Maybe we should now conclude that for music at
least, Canada is closer to 'Detroit' than most of the USA, quite
literally. And now, perhaps more than ever!
(Before I get flamed, I should make it clear that I'm only being
half-serious!)
