I remember when I was getting ready to move here, all my friends were in shock, saying "what the hell are you gonna do in Canada?". I've heard some Americans talk about how it snows all year here, how everyone has a ski-doo because it's the only way we can get around. It's not many who think this, just a mere few. The few very uneducated ones think we live in shacks, have to hunt for our food and get around with our dog sleds, MUSH, LOL! I bartended for about 5 years over there, so this is where I heard this stuff. When you bartend for a living, you hear it all.

I used to want a totally open border between the two nations,but after the recent elections there,it's better to contain them in one place[just all the right wing nuts!] Let them think the temperature drops 20 to 30 degrees at the border. It may just keep them from invading us to find all our WMDs.

RE: American Ignorance Ab
This is kind of funny. A few years ago I started a one-man campaign to make fun of Allen Bestwick's hair. He hosted a show called Inside Winston Cup Racing at the time.
It was kind of mean, expecially since I think Bestwick is a good commentator, but his hair is never the slightest bit messy. It's so perfect it looks almost plastic.
I started sending e-mails to their question of the week segment detailing my adventures fighting off huge white bears, Greenpeace workers falling through the ice, and suggesting that Bestwick use seal blubber in his hair because the girls really liked it.
By the end of the season the expert panel, especially Michael Waltrip, were all making fun of Bestwick's hair. The very last show of that season Waltrip was talking about taking a trip to Canada and cracked a few jokes about dogsled races. Bestwick kept trying to shut him up.
I doubt they believed any of it, some of the e-mails were really odd (recipes for making muk-tuk, the story of how I lost my arm to a polar bear, the odd sport of walrus wrestling etc), but you could kind of see things building everytime I sent another e-mail. It was cool.
