Still pondering.....so upset I can't sleep.

Meanwhile-can we be penalized for having too many smart guys on the same thread?

We'll just be lonely.

Really?

My experience up there was completely different. Canadians of my acquaintence were generally polite and friendly and secure in their national identity.

Of course they were all stuporous from fried dough and Labatts.

On a more serious matter, I bring to your attention the following:

Normally on the back of a box of coco pops or other breakfast cereal in the US I am verily informed that there would be prizes, games, free offers of toys inside etc.

However I am also verily informed that in Canada they have to put the French writing on the box instead and the French nutritional information etc, so there is no room for the prizes and games on the box.

So the Canadians owe my informant whose nationality shall go unmentioned) believes that a prolific apology for this heinous transgression is well overdue, as they "stole fun and games from young children especially innocent visiting American children" (and I would add, without hesitation, some now thirty something American males) For the same reason Australians should apologise for their lack of frozen orange juice my informant expects a swift and heartfelt apology for the privations suffered.

On a final note, my informant 'advises' (and I use the word 'advises' advisedly for want of a stronger term) that this audience should watch 'Canadian Bacon' so that no apologies should be omitted.
