i do laugh insanely however, when some of my american cousins call me and ask how my neighbous in the igloos are doing. and the funniest part is that they are serious.
I can roll with that John,,,, I'm a little (but not too much) embarrassed to admit it but even tho my heritage is Canadian (my grandfather was from Quebec) and I only live 85 miles from the Canadian border, I have never been to Canada. It only seems right that before I die I should cross the border and visit the land of my ancestors. I only wonder tho,,,, would my visit to Canada be as boring as this Circle? I jest. Good Morning Canada! Cheers,Robin

We had to go to Ottawa for a visa renewal a few years and loved it, a cross between the US/Scandinavia & Scotland.When I lived in Europe I used to joke that local news was Pittsburgh, national news was PA and international news was the US - wrong! In reality local news is my township, national news is Pittsburgh and international news is PA. Bottom line - Americans need to get out more.NBThey might have some good coffee for you!
To Bob in St. Louis I don't have any wilderness pictures of Canada but I have lots of New Mexico where I live.To Everyone Else I'm happy to incite some passion in this otherwise moribund Circle. I have always thought Canada to be a land of hockey rinks and donut shops eh?
Satfrat You're taking this way too seriously. I'm not sure why this is such a sensitive issue for you. I'll take the bait on your comments on NM. First of all, it is not desert in the true sense. It is mostly mountainous with high desert mesa. Secondly, there aren't too many illegal Mexicans. They can be found primarily in Texas, Arizona and California. Not many Taco stands here either. Maybe you're just using irony with benign intent with your missives. Maybe then, I need to relax.Go Leafs Go ( if they make the playoffs)

Toronto is a nice place to visit but I don't know that I could live there..my friends do currently. Many people are forced to live in tiny apartments/condos because everything costs too much...so I'd liken it to living in japan...without as much cool stuff...and ninjas.I haven't seen a city I'd like to live in after having toured most everywhere...but many beautiful places to visit. Then again, I think living anywhere with snow is unnatural...and I live in Michigan haha..
