The argument over Canada's avian symbol echoes one from five years ago, when the country's citizenry asked to choose a national animal, and opted for the beaver over the polar bear.
It feels like we're flying all over the state of Maine -- and, at one point, we set down on a whim to taxi over to a village where a man sells us homemade root beer out of a refrigerator on his front porch.
