Glad you cleared that up.
Seems that you have a problem with about 200 people...not the 30 million I
originally thought.
No one asked me to vote on marijuana, same-sex marriages etc.
Only 301 Canadians in our Parliament had that right, and after you subtract
those who voted against the bills.....
only a small number fall under your 'bagging on' category.
As far as being an anti-American blow-hard...hardly.
This part of the country has always had a close connection to the 'Boston
States'. Many Maritimers left here for better opportunities across the
border. We always remember the help Massachusetts sent our way in our
darkest hour.

blah...blah
The ones that stay up in Canada,
bitch about the arrogance of Americans, didn't support us in Iraq, and
recently voted to legalize marijuana and same-sex marriages, are the ones
that *need* "bagging on". Are you a snowbird, Don...or are you one of the
anti-American blow-hards?

There has been a pretty strong anti-American sentiment floating down from
Canada through the news outlets. Of course, the media is never biased in
their reporting, now, are they? ;-)

Don,

Aren't you relieved to have a choice?

Either come down to Florida and patronize NYOB's practice, or be
anti-American liberal blow-hard.

In light of recent events on US foreign policy, I guess for me it would
down to his rates ;^)

Read my post again, Bobdee. People who travel to the US for leisure are
usually not the same as the idiots that sit up in Canada and just keep
sniping at America. Whether they "patronize my practice" or not, is
irrelevent.

NYOB,

Read your post, didn't quite agree with what you said, and thought I'd
make a joke. Sorry, I hope you realize it was more at the expense of our
current policies than it was at you personally.

But -

What is probably less relevant than you think, is the relationship of
migrating Canadians versus their viewpoints. Obviously I can't speak for
everyone, but we tend to excercise more politeness and tact when visiting
somewhere else, as tourists are in part "at the mercy" of their hosts.

For example, If you live in Cleveland, you're likely to be express an
opinion that the Browns are great and the Pittsburg Steelers suck.
However, if you travel to Pittsburg, and walk into a bar you've never been
in before, you'd be an idiot if you said "Steelers Suck" without
solicitation. Even with solicitation, you would most likely express your
viewpoint in a more tactful manner such as: "Yeah, the Steelers are okay,
but I like the Browns".

In our area we routinely have Canadian guests. The smart ones will be
polite and respect the viewpoints and customs of the country they're
visiting. But as you get to know them and their comfort level increases,
you find that they are their own countrymen and do not wholeheartedly
agree with us on alot of topics. They don't agree with American
policies, but don't hold any American individual accountable, any more
than we should hold canadians at large accountable for a few of the less
intelligent people who would visit without restraining their point of
view.

In other words the people who travel to the US are indeed the same people
who sit and have anti-American viewpoints. However, most of these people
are smart enough not to express their viewpoint in discourteous manner,
and/or do not disklike the American people despite their viewpoints.

I also take exception with labeling those with "anti-American" viewpoints
as idiots. I'm sorry, but with "reality TV" shows such like "Joe
Millionaire", or "American Idol", congressmen who take pride in renaming
fried potatoes, tabloid news media, and often self-serving foreign
policies, thinly guised as altruistic motives, we supply more than enough
fodder for their anti-American snipping attacks.

Let me visualize this for a moment...
Here I am strapped into his 'chair' and I see him aproaching with sharp
instruments.....
Think I'd better stay up here where I can feel cosy and safe in our social
safety net.

I prefer my own dentist in the Washington, D.C., area. Not only is he a
fabulous dentist, he devotes an entire month of his life each year to
doing charity dental work on kids in his native Korea. My kind of guy.

That would be quite the charitable donation. Equivalent to12th of your
income...and if he has to pay his own way over...
would he be able to claim that as a deduction on his income??
