There appears at first glance to be a significant difference in the amount of coverage that this thing is reported by the two nation's media. I suppose the question then is:
Are the Brits guilty of being nonchalant over this thing or is the Canadian media guilty of over-reporting on it to a degree of creating a hysteria effect? Or is the actual coverage this thing deserves somewhere in the middle?
