I have to say that i love the US, in fact if I could , I would move to your country, ( much harder to do than you would think) Still there are times when I really wonder what some of you are smoking. I know that this is not the majority of Amerians views about Canada, and I do think that it is kinda funny...no really reall funny. But you have to under stand that the world, not just us goofy canucks, get this warpped view of the USA, and it dosn't come off as a laughing mater to most. any way I thought I would drop it your way, and hopfully share a little smile or two.

It’s only the viewpoint of a few moonbat right-wing journalists. And the thing about the dog-sledding was really stupid. We all know that not all Canadians dog-sled. Most of them play hockey instead. ;-)

Not all Minnesotans talk like the people in Fargo (or North Country for that matter). Just the people on the iron range. ;-)

Let's see Canada: Labatt Blue, hockey, funny people like Mike Myers, John Candy and the rest of the SCTV crew. Cool looking cities like Toronto and Vancouver(always looks that way on tv) Mexico: Margaritas, Corona, Dos XX, all-inclusive resorts, miles and miles of great beaches, unbelievably gorgeous women. Advantage: Mexico, with all due respect.
