LarryK sez: I think its only fair to "tweak" Canada.

I sez: Agree completely. From time to time, Canadians need the mickey taken out of their self-righteousness vis-a-vis Americans. And, conversely, need the foolishness of their inferiority-complex pointed out.

That's speaking as a Canadian, folks. The comments don't apply to all of us, of course; but look at what makes the news.
