As both Canadian and American independence days come and go, and as the
debate
concerning a common currency and other aspects of Canada/U.S. integration
heats up, let us remember that there are profound differences between the
two countries. In the interest of completeness, and as a public service,
here are the top seven:

7. In the U.S., they have the right to bear arms . . . in Canada, we have
the right to bare breasts;

6. In the U.S., they have millions of Mexicans wanting to get in . . . in
Canada, we have millions of Quebecers wanting to get out;

5. In the U.S., 15% of Americans believe Elvis is still alive . . . in
Canada, 15% of Canadians believe Jean Chretien is still alive;

4. Popular U.S. bumper stickers read "LIVE FREE OR DIE!" . . . in Canada,
bumper
stickers read "TAX ME -- BEFORE I SPEND AGAIN!";

3. In the U.S., popular leisure activities include Wet T-Shirt Contests and
Dwarf Tossing . . . in Canada, it's gender sensitivity seminars and cycling
for the CBC and for other left-wing causes;

2. In the U.S., they have tough prisons for the most predatory and useless
members of society . . . in Canada, we have the Senate;

. . . and the number one difference between Canada and the U.S.: In Canada,
Jean
Chretien proves that anybody can grow up to be prime minister . . . In the
U.S., Bill Clinton proves that anybody can be president without having to
grow up.
