After 3 trips there in as many yrs(due to nice exchange rate) I've decided to forego another journey north for the foreseeable future. Afterall, you can only look at so many red maple trees &amp; Niagara Falls so many times without starting to yawn anyway.  O'Reilly is correct--Budweiser, Coors &amp; many other American beers quench ones thirst even better than Molson. *********************************************************************************************                       We Stand on Guard for Thee                    By: Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.com                    Thursday, Apr 17, 2003                    Oh, Canada, what the heck is going on?                      In a staggering display of in-your-face defiance, the Canadian                    government now says it will not turn over any members of Saddam                    Hussein's crew, should they eventually show up in Canada, to the                    USA - including the evil dictator himself!                      Canadian Minister of Defense John McCallum bluntly told the world                    that his government would only give Saddam to the World Court in                    the Hague.                      This non-provoked belligerence comes after Prime Minister Jean                    Chretien gleefully pilloried the Bush administration over fighting Iraq                    every chance he got.                      Chretien and his cohorts have made no secret of their disdain for                    Mr. Bush and the Canadian press has generally been brutal to                    America in portraying the war.                      In response, President Bush has cancelled his May trip to Ottawa                    and it would be wise not to send him an autographed picture of the                    Montreal Canadian hockey team anytime soon.                      That's because Montreal fans recently booed the National Anthem                    before a match with the New York Islanders causing some angst                    among American hockey fans who are not generally known for                    being too accepting of that kind of display.                      But it doesn't end there.                      When a group of Boston kids went up to Montreal to play in a                    peewee hockey tournament, they were not only taunted by the                    Canadian kids, but also by the referees. Eh?                      My question is this:                      Do the Canadian people have any idea how close they are to serious                    pain here?                      Canada's economy is utterly dependent on the USA and Americans                    pump more than 10-billion dollars directly into it every year.                      Nine million of us cross the northern border more than 40-million                    times annually and we buy lots of stuff.                      And that stuff is heavily taxed by...</description><image><url>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/images/Logo380x132.png</url><title>SI - What's Up with Canada these Days??</title><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/subject.aspx?subjectid=53900</link><width>380</width><height>132</height></image><ttl>10</ttl><item><title>[peteyi] Some of the large apt complexes in Toronto had a lot of South Asian, Middle East...</title><author>peteyi</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Some of the large apt complexes in Toronto had a lot of South Asian, Middle Eastern and African looking residents.

And very nice people.  But I did see a very diverse population in the urban areas.  I could see how groups like ACORN could spread and get a foothold amongst these communities.  They definitely looked like Obama supporter types.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=27655764</link><pubDate>9/22/2011 10:44:58 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[lorne] Ann...acorn thuggery is a lot more wide spread than I thought...obama's people s...</title><author>lorne</author><description>&lt;span id="intelliTXT"&gt;Ann...acorn thuggery is a lot more wide spread than I thought...obama&amp;#39;s people sure get around&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have a look at this video&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ACORN Canada featured on CBC&amp;#39;s The National from ACORN Canada on Vimeo. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a class='ExternURL' href='http://canadaacorn.com/' target='_blank' &gt;canadaacorn.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  ..........................................&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  ACORN Canada featured on CBC&amp;#39;s The National from ACORN Canada on Vimeo.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a class='ExternURL' href='http://canadaacorn.com/' target='_blank' &gt;canadaacorn.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=27595733</link><pubDate>8/25/2011 10:03:10 PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
