And that is why i crossed it out...because I didn't really believe it as i was writing it. (i suppose I shouldn't have posted that bit at all) So, yes, some fic totally skews the perception of Lindsay and her actions (and Michael & Mel, and so many others) than what was actually represented in canon. I guess I wrote my first response in haste, while not carefully considering the truth of her character in canon and the truth/intention of her move to Toronto.
As for Canada...thanks for thinking it's saner up here...sometimes I wonder...
