I was shopping at Harrods in London a couple of years ago (only a few months
after the Challenger explosion), and I struck up a conversation with a nice
fellow from Australia.  In the course of the conversation, we talked a bit
about the Space Shuttle and the recent disaster, and he said somthing I'll
never forget.  He said, "It was terrible, and just when we were finally
starting to get somewhere too."

My first thought was, "where do you get this 'we' stuff?" but on reflection,
I decided I rather liked it.  I think we should encourage it.

In other words, the Canadians are offering advice because they feel like
they're a part of the adventure too, and that's not a bad thing.
