Who says that we don't get any Canadian news in the winter? Well, actually in the electronic age, we do. When we began travelling in the winter we made use of internet cafés, sharing the facilities with teenage boys addicted to online games and often using strange keyboards that distorted Anglo touch typing bizarrely. Now, though, with netbook, tablet and wifi in the lobby we have, really, as much Canadian news as we have time for, despite the fact that increasing amounts of it hides behind paywalls. However, this morning`s Canadian news is on the front page of the Cyprus Sunday Mail and in large print: Canada put 'wrong' maple leaf on new C$20 bill.
