Americans Go Canadian in a Bid to Avoid Politics
By Leslie Hoffman - The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico -- A U.S. T-shirt company has a solution for their fellow citizens who want to vacation in Europe without having to answer questions about U.S. politics: pose as Canadians.

For $24.95, T-shirtKing.com offers the "Go Canadian" package, full of just the kind of things an American traveler needs to leave his country and its politics behind.

There's a Canadian flag T-shirt, a Canadian flag lapel pin and a Canadian patch for luggage or a backpack. There's also a quick reference guide -- "How to Speak Canadian, Eh?" -- on answering questions about Canada.

It's the brainchild of employees at the Mountainair, New Mexico-based company known for the novelty T-shirts it sells worldwide on the Internet.
