That's all fine :) As long as my nationality, which
is accidental in the end since I never chose where
I was to be born, is not used in a derisive manner.
No offense taken.

Yes. Down with pigs :) The rules are meant to
encourage some kind of "nationalism" or "patriotism"
but Canadians are in general more globalistic in
thinking and we mock our own culture every chance we
get :) It's like antipatriotism and I love it.

In truth, nowdays, the US government has done more
than enough to create a cultural rift between our
two countries. The fiascos with SARS or Mad-Cow to
name a few incidences.

Yes, as I sit here in front of my TV watching
illegal satellite and smoking a bong with my new
gay husband, I almost feel proud to be a Canadian :)
As proud as a Canadian can be of his own country.
