Thursday Snark

Instapundit reacts to a headline about a Canadian university pressured into referring to Taiwan as “a province of China.”

Taiwan is a province of China like Canada is a province of the United States.

Actually, in addition to its considerable snark value, that isn’t a bad analogy. Canada never overthrew British rule, still recognizes the Queen as their sovereign. We had a revolution, they never did. China had a revolution, Taiwan never did. Both Taiwan and Canada evolved to independence. The parallels are considerable.
