U2's Bono was talking up the Canadian government last week at a convention of the country's Liberal party. He told the audience of party political
people: "I'm a fan of Canada. I believe the world needs more Canada. It's not just that everybody likes Canada. Everybody respects Canada because something is going on here. You've avoided a stigma that's attached to the West . . . that other parts of the world regard with such suspicion."
Bono explained his respect for Canada came from the country's commitment to
promises made over third world debt. However the singer stressed he expected
a similar commitment in the future as he continues to campaign to end the debts that are crippling countries in the developing world.
