Irish Sarge, I know you mean it in a friendly way but we don't want to be "Americans". I have gone on at length about this before...suffice it to say that we prefer to keep the St Lawrence River, the Great Lakes and the 49th parallel between us and youse Americans.

Even without the likes of R Barr, T Lott and WJ Clinton aside, we have enough assholes up here already! the You Ess has no monopoly on producing them...

Interestingly enough we would also regain dominion over Neil Young and who needs that...

Dave TAM, I completely agree with you about the deficiencies of our current government--even if not about the solution!
