[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Never! Author: Melody [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:27:57 07/10/01 Tue My husband says the same damned thing..Canada will be part of NewYork very soon...F*ck that!!! Don't get me wrong..I like the States..LOVE to visit...Even love my Yank relatives (my father is American born) but I am damned proud to be Canadian..We ain't big flag wavers, but most of us are pretty proud of who we are... Canada is a North American country..But in no way are we yankee...LOL We are, for most part, a tamer lot..passive/aggressive as opposed to aggressive..Lots of bark with tiny bites... Lots of maple trees too...And land and lakes... Come visit one day:-)

Robeson and Jasper and headed south from there! I liked lake louise better than Banf, and Yoho National Park was really cool too. Hiked past the site of the Burgess Shale fossil find! The larches and the aspens were a beautiful golden color, and we avoided the bears! I didn't want to imply Canadians were Yankees, but I have heard Canadians say: We're Americans too, we live in N. America, why do yankees think they can claim that name for themselves!!!!! I hope Canada never becomes part of New York! what a scary thought. Did some great ski trips in Canada, including Blanket Glacier Hut (had to be helicoptered in and spent a week in there -- awesome snow, great stars at night) and rock climbing at Squamish, B.C.
