Thread swept away: Canadians do NOT take better care of the environment. It's a subject that gets my blood pressure up, and I should leave it alone.

On the subject of men being brave enough to speak to women: I remember well this young handsome buck who came back to the mill after a vacation in the states telling me that he was going back soon and that I needed to go, with this quote: "The women will TALK to you, I'm not shittin ya!"
