But it’s about even.” McKelvie and I were sitting in the North Road Trading Post, the antique store McKelvie ran in a converted gas station at the north end of town. The garage and lot were dotted with rusty vehicles, some...

Good morning. A Globe and Mail survey has found that Canadians aren’t feeling the love, but some of the results might surprise you. More on that below, along with heartbreak in women’s hockey at the Olympics and proposed protections for those who fall victim to fraud. But first:
