"Resource" is a broad term. It doesn't have to be referring to a person. To me it just reads as a general anti-American attitude.

RE: “I'M NOT ABOUT TO STAND HERE AND WATCH ONE MORE CANADIAN RESOURCE GO SOUTH OF THE BORDER!”

Hmmm… who was the other / first?

•••

Over the decades there has been much concern expressed in Canada that natural resources were seeping southward across the 49th Parallel. Things like oil and gas, beef, and even people. The term “brain drain” was adopted to describe educated folk who went in search of greener pastures in the US.

Maybe the General was ticked that most of William Shatner's work was south of the border.  Imagine Captain Kirk with claws.  The fight with the Gorn would have ended a lot quicker.

LOL!

You're closer to the mark than you might think, Brian. The drain of Canadian talent toward Hollywood has been going on for a long time. Shatner is only one example. A short list includes Fay Wray, Lorne Green, Leslie Neilson, James Doohan, Lorne Michaels, and a host of others.

Somewhere I read that by population, Los Angeles was the seventh largest Canadian city!

Regarding the General’s comment, I thought of the Avro Arrow controversy and the engineering team ending up at NASA. But as JB points out, there is a long list of examples.

I love seeing Wolverine's costume rendered in flat back, the interesting shapes and negative space it gives.

What will prove interesting now is how readers will respond to Logan in his more, er, a**holier-than-thou characterization!

Is this the first time we've heard Pablo speak?

Really interested to see how this clean slate Logan reacts to his situation!

Mr. Byrne! You are brilliant! This "partial" restoration of Logan's memories is a hard reset on his character---essentially wiping out all the later junk. He is now (once again) the Wolverine that arrived at X-men #94.

Well played!
