May-be because it's NOT just above the border..... but a DIFFERENT country?


Colour or color, potato or paTAtoe, Tomato or taMAtoe, Aluminum or
AL-U-Minimum....the GoverMunt likes to write dates backward (compared to the
US) .... likes to change things without getting the public's approval and
charges us outrageous taxes just to enjoy their dictatorial ways....That
lady better hope no one from the Quebec language police sees she's writing
in english or they will fine her...... but one things for sure... ask any
Canadian... and you will find we strongly prefer our own brand of
torture....I've found the only way to survive is grow a thick skin, wear
long underwear, tell lots of jokes, drink good beer and rub your body
vigorously against.... what ever gets you thru the night (which in some
places can be for 6 months of the year:^).... Oh Yeah and change fluids and
underwear at least yearly.
