I see I've provoked some humour and rib poking. I must admit, I sent this link to my close friend in California as he has been known to make web posts about the Canucks to the north. He didn't bite.
Let me firmly say that my comments were about the stereotype, of which, Canada certainly has many (all French) lol.
One thing I can truly say about stereotypes from around the planet; nobody and I mean nobody is better at laughing at themselves than the Brits. I come from a long British background and spend all of my vacation time there and you people are masters at handing out insults and taking them back just as well. My Father always taught me, "yi canny laugh at anubdy 'til yi learn to laugh at yirsel wi that big nose on yir mug ........... now away and geez peace"
(I know you'll read this Dave, now go get some KFC for the kids and wipe your greasy fingers on your shirt. lol)
