Canada is as diverse geographically and politically as the US, you can't label all Americans as one thing, the same applies to Canada.
LOL - this is great, I love it!!! " 'Murcah "..... LMAO!

Actually I'm part of the first wave. I live in Houston now. I just give my Loonies to the girl at the drive through and tell her they're gold.

Usually they just ask if I still live in an igloo and if I know Steve in Toronto. Just for fun, I say "Yes, but he said he really doesn't like you much anymore."

I just thought of this today: Dick Cheney is from Wyoming (though born in Nebraska, I believe). So we all know someone from Wyoming. His wife is from there as well. Dick and Lynne.

It was my favorite gift too, LOL.
It was required for one semester at my kids' high school. I think it is a Colorado requirement.

Barack Obama recently told an Oregon audience that he has been in "57 states, with I think one left to go." Check it out on YouTube; it's pretty funny.
