The careers link at NetFlix.ca reminds me of the poetry section at the Chapters store in the Regent Mall here in Fred'town. Maybe Melville, NY is near Yorktown, NY ;-)
The single section of poetry in the retail outlet of what is now Canada's book chain had a striking resemblance to that in an American chain - the multiple copies of the collected Allen Ginsberg, the multiple volumes of Charles Bukowski ... the one diference, the one row of ( English ) Canadian poetry on the top shelf ( in a town with two universities) - and that was chiefly Leonard Cohen. I should have checked if Margaret Atwood was shelved below in speak-American having been pained to find her opening the slim "Best of 2009" high up on that top shelf.
But the day's outing ended with a more amusing moment: I saw that there are two cannons in front of the Legion just as there are two cannons in front of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery ( I kid you not ... one of the latter is a 1944 USA howitzer.) And Ginsberg?
