That was really cool! Ok, at first it was kinda lame but then it got cool. Had anyone else posted it, I would have closed it in the first few seconds, but I gave it a couple minutes just because you're an okay guy. Watching it I realize how little I know about Canada seein' as how we've never invaded it.
I found it amusing that 90% of canadians live within 100 miles of the US border. Why don't we just annex that place? They're obviously crazy about us.~Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.~

That was from the Vancouver Olympics wasn't it?

Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

That was a nice piece, Russ. You just gave a lot of people probably the only geography lesson about Canada they've ever had.
And the reason that 90% of Canada lives within 100 miles of the border?
Have you ever been north of, say, Calgary? It's absolutely frigid here in the winter.Wife to DH since 10/31/2002!

That's just a convenient excuse for you guys to snuggle up against us. Don't play coy.
