Agreed. I love this country. You wouldn't believe the crack I heard at Canada on America's Funniest Home Videos the other night...I got all offended and huffy but Jamie didn't seem to care too much.
The stupid host was introducing some clips, and as an introduction he said, "Americans are considered among the smartest people in the world. That said, we'll just pretend that the people in these clips are Canadian."
So...he essentially said, "We Americans are so egotistical, we think we're the bestest and the smartest. So because the people in these next videos look really stupid, we'll just call them Canadians, because Canada is dumb."
Hmm, yup, that's how I'd read it too... I'm sure a lot of it was his tone, though. I can read that comment as rather insulting, or tongue-in-cheek, depending on how it's delivered.
Nice letter. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. Fortunately, I too have a Liberal MP who's voting in favour of the bill. (She's in Cabinet, so she has to, but I think she would have anyway.)
What's that white stuff in the pics? :P We have something similar, but it's mostly dark grey and brown (and blue in a couple of places, where someone poured either antifreeze or some funky kind of road salt on the street).
I was also a little surprised to see that your evergreen trees are... well, so green. Spruce?
That would be snow... you know, snow without salt and dirt in it? It's quite often white... :p
Yeah, mainly spruce in there, with the odd pine mingled throughout. Combined with the creek, this means that you get eaten alive if you go in there at the wrong time in the summer, as there's no breeze to speak of, either.

Not in the big city, it ain't. :P

Aha. I see I won't be visiting you this summer, then. Mosquitoes and black flies love the way I taste. :(

I'll try to remember to bring my camera, so you can "go" that way... lol.

At least, that's how it sounded to me!

Borrow some snow from the East Coast... I'm sure they wouldn't mind.
