Too far away! From Michigan? I can nearly see it from here! Too far away for dating purposes. MM, do they even have women in the UP? I am not in the UP, but yes I have been told there are. Not sure why I thought you were in the UP...my bad.

I think of Dan Akroid, The kids in the Hall, syrup, South Park, Blameeee Canadaaaaa! Keanu Reeves, John Candy. pasty skin on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, speedos. And my fellow coworkers complaining that they dont tip, because in Canada the tip is encluded.

Hate to say it but all I can think of immediately is I don't ever want to fly our of Canada again. After setting four hours on the ground the air crews let a fully loaded plane take off that was not airworthy and after a harrowing emergency landing that had even the stewardess crying it is kind of hard to forget. How ever the people I actually met there were really nice. Kind of sucks that they seem to pay more for everything than Americans and that in large areas of the country they have to haul potable water. Also seems odd that without some of the crippleing expenses Americans pay for healthcare they still seem economiclly depressed. In fairness that observation is almost a decade old. If you can drive in it is exquisitely beautiful place and my treatment there by general population was extreamly polite and helpful.

Actually we dont pay more for everything.....some things are really cheap compared to the usa. And I have no idea where you heard that bit about hauling potable water...... We are economically depressed for alot of reasons the same as your own. Import/export for 1..... but that could be a different discussion altogether.

in Canada the tip is encluded In Canada the tip is not included in everything. Perhaps like me, my fellow Canadians base tips on service rather than feeling "obligated"? Perhaps you could share that with your waitress friends? I think of the wonderful four seasons we have. I think of how we can travel anywhere in the world and are well recieved. I think of our great health care system. My rights as a woman and a person and that they are upheld. That many other women in other countries don't truly comprehend the meaning of that, including some parts of America. No other country in the world is as progressive as Canada when it comes to equality and I would not trade that for anything. and we have water.. TONS of it
