Michael,

Please don't think everyone on the board has anti-Canadian sentiments. I'm sure most on the chip board and most in the United States believe Canada is our most important ally and friend. During the travels I have made in Canada I have always found Canadians to be wonderful people. If a Canadian politician occasionally puts foot in mouth, my feeling is we in the U.S. should take it with a grain of salt considering some of the things our own politicians have said (and done) over the years.
