He's my second favorite musician, after Gordon Lightfoot. Oh wait, he's Canadian too.

All kidding aside I just went out jogging. The Canadian cold air cut my jog short. Safety first.

As far as I'm concerned, those things are American cold fronts, since it has to pass through Michigan first, and Detroit is north of me.



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.

I've got no problem with Rush, Triumph, and April Wine (although I am admittedly "comfortably middle aged").

Where does one get the idea that Americans dislike Canadians? All the Canadians I've met I liked. The list of supposed issues means nothing to me.

And BTW, Neil Sedaka isn't Canadian. He was from Brooklyn.

Though Paul Anka is. He's from Ottawa. I believe the original Diana that inspired the song still lives in the city.

I'm American and I've never met a Canadian that I didn't like. I've never had a problem with Canada as a country.
