The Canadian Dream Is Alive and Well

A young Canadian blogger dreams of owning a home, but doesn't have the money to buy one. So he starts with one giant red paper clip, and barters the clip for something better, and keeps on bartering up until, one year later, he has a 3-bedroom home. Where else could something like this happen but in Canada -- the land where all you need is a dream, a plan, and good old Canadian know-how to make your wildest imaginings come true.

Ah, Canada: the land of opportunity.
