I'm not much of a hockey fan, myself, either.

Never watched the CFL, I can see. Best game in the world is almost
always the
Grey Cup. Last year it was boring, and the Superbowl was interesting.
That's
the exact opposite of what it's been 8 times in the last 10 years.

You've got a point there.

Let's see, we cover everyone and it costs us less per capita and as a
percentage of GDP than the US... What's so bad about it? Oh, right, all
those
health care administrators would be out of work... *S*

Most dangerous land animals in the world, according to the SAS Surivival

Sure, but you'll never know if we did or didn't... most of the news
folks are
Canadians, too! It's all part of our plot to take over the world...

Tom missed one: Music. Not only is Canadian music amongst the best in
the
world, we own the largest recording company in the world. Universal just
bought Polygram (Polygram was already the largest in the world). Both
Polygram
and Universal are owned by Seagram... of Montreal.

Tom also missed ice wine, Nanaimo bars, butter tarts, and the only
source of
Cadbury chocolate in the Americas!
