Well, when you arrive at Canada Customs, its like ''Welcome to Canada eh? Here's a hockey stick and a beer.''

When you arrive at U.S. Customs it's ''Welcome to the States. Here's some crack and a hand gun.''

Another typically Canadian thing is that we don't acknowledge our own homegrown talent until it has been ''recognized'' south of the border.
Only then, do we really take notice. Jim Carrey (and many others) were vitually unknown here, until they migrated to L.A. and ''made it'', even they'd been slogging it out in the trenches for years!

In this country Canadian celebrities have to wear name tags at events, so people will know who they are.
