Are all cans as naive and gullible as you appear to be? it would
explain an awful lot.

>Boycotts don't work.   Never have and never will.

Certainly do. I have saved over �300,000ukp in ten years by boycotting
Canada, not to mention I would no longer be moving there on
retirement. 
Which is a real big shame as we used to look upon Canada as the more
civilized of the continent.

NOT any more, people think of Canada today and what do they see, state
sponsored animal abusers. Still, at least you're proud of it, me I'd
prefer pride for something nice.

To avoid grizzlies, the Alaska Department of Fish & Game advises hikers
to wear noisy little bells on clothes and carry pepper spray. Also watch
for signs of activity: Black bear scat is smaller and contains berries;
grizzly scat has little bells in it and smells like pepper.

You must be so happy to have saved so much money!   It's too bad that you
will not be able to come to Canada and enjoy the feast of the delicious seal
meat.   It is so good!   The money you saved, is it from donations?   I see
that you have asked for donations from the gullible English.

Mmmmmm, fresh seal meat. I like it even better than I like fresh bald eagle
meat.
