I tried to fight it, but I just can't. I have to comment on some of these..
I just have to.... and yes... I am opinionated :-)

ok.... name one political leader that isn't a moron? Quick.. just name one.
Our prime minister is one as well.

I'll get crap from this one... but most Americans have trouble realizing
that anything even exists past their border and are always in complete shock
when they find out they weren't the first, the discoverer, or the inventor
of a specific item. But I guess Canada now sits in the same world seat as
the U.S. did at one time. It's hard being the younger one.

My personal opinion... majority of Canadians are weenies. Weenies in the
respect of not taking action. Just being a nation of complainers without
power. I believe the action of rallying and gathering to fight anything may
take away from our Hockey and beer time.

I want the border closed to Alex Trebec, William Shatner and Jonathan
Roberts (aka New Music ex-host J.D. Roberts.. seems funny not to see him in
jeans and long hair on the news)

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO go Joe go!!!... I got the video of his rant... funniest
commercial ever not viewed by an American. Which reminds me of a joke I
read recently... best sentence that no American will understand... Honey,
pass me a "SERVIETTE" I've spilled my "POUTINE" on the "CHESTERFIELD".

The Invasion as already begun Tom. I've been spotting Tim Horton's in
Michigan and New York. We're hitting them slowly with coffee and donuts.
The typical Canadian type of invasion - slow and steady. First with hockey,
actors, music, and now... WHAMMO... Timmy's. And I believe there are at
least 2 Swiss Chalet restaurants in the U.S.

Wait a minute... There's a border??? I thought those were just nosey cops
doing spot checks asking where I was going. But seriously... being married
to an American gives me the right to point out all the annoying things on
both sides of the border and I've got a list a 1/4 mile long :-) I think
both Americans and Canadians could use a good lesson from my mom... Play
nice and share your toys... don't make me bring out the wooden spoon!!!!
There.. I have ranted and stepped off my opinionated soap box.
