My apologies for posting this in sci.crypt, but I must say that the views
expressed above are rather extreme, and *not* typical of Canadians in
general.  (At least none that I've ever met, and I live here!)
In fact, a lot of people I've met (and myself) think Canada is a nicer
place to live than the U.S.

"...most of the advantages of being American"...make that almost all, and a
whole lot of advantages the Americans don't have, and I'll agree.

Thoughts of Zippy:
I don't believe there really IS a GAS SHORTAGE.. I think it's all
just a BIG HOAX on the part of the plastic sign salesmen--
..to sell more numbers!!
