What I as a Canadian hate about Americans is that I do not know more of my neibours. The Americans are no different then you and I, all that seperates us is a physical boundry called the border. The Americans that I have met through my world travels and at home and on the internet have always been kind and have gone out of their way to help me in any way they can. I suppose for all the reasons mentioned in the commercials I've missed. There is always more to the story than meets the eye.

Here in Alberta it is quite atrocious at best, not to mention how bad it gets when the nurses or whomever decide to go on strike. If someone is in emergency need they get it. Remember September I invite everyone to check out SQS Penguin's Presidential Address to the World . Let's each bloom where we are planted, rather than trying to be a weed in someone else's garden. I have great faith in a seed.
