Though Paul Anka is. He's from Ottawa. I believe the original Diana that inspired the song still lives in the city.
I Stand corrected. It was that terminal vowel that threw me.

And isn't "You're havin' my baby" the smarmiest sing ever recorded?

And Yeledaf, I am truly sorry for Bieber, but you have to understand, it was a matter of self-preservation. Since we don't have nukes, or a comparable military to defend ourselves against an attack from America, the Canadian government took a first strike approach, and launched a little known weapons program March 1, 1994, code named "The Biebs'". Designed to erode, and eventually destroy the decision making areas of the brains of American population slowly, from the inside out, starting with the nations most vulnerable: it's youth. The weapon was then designed to adapt and appeal to older generations as time passed. A small stock pile sits in reserve, deep within Mt. Thor, in Auyuittuq National Park, on Baffin Island, Nunavut.

The weapon was deployed sometime in 2007, and appears to have been a great success, save for the unfortunate, but anticipated effects not only on our own population, but other nations across the globe.


Now, that's what I'm talkin' about!!!

I love Canada and Canadians, too. Most of the Canadians I knew as a student in Europe (where we really were Americans or Canadians to most people) are living in the US now, even those from great cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Some have taken US citizenship. We're pretty close neighbors really.

Well hello mason. Our two countries are probably the closest two in the entire world. Also, Canadians have a very, very good sense of humour.

I met many Canadians the same way. Most that I knew were students. Became friends with some of them quite fast. All of them are back in Canada now(visas, graduation, etc), but I got along with them very well.

For me, Canada always existed as that likable neighbor to the north (ironically, 70% of Canada's population lives south of Seattle's latitude). Similar, but very different from the USA.

On the plus side for Canada your War scoreboard since that draw in Korea isn't looking so good. Although the streak has to end sometime.

Name of War - Result

WWII - W
Korea - T
Vietnam - L
Drugs - L
Iraq I - T
Iraq II - "mission accomplished" but still a L
Iraq II.5 - Still in progress
Afghanistan - L
Terror - L for the citizens and currently a draw on the field of play
Obesity - delicious...

You should be advised; we fill our moats with maple syrup! You cannot swim across, you cannot boat across and wading just makes every one of your hairs stick together.
