Next time there's a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France!!

If it weren't for the French, we would have lost the War of 1812...
You're such an ignorant ass, Herring. Were you always that way or did
your "career" in the Army make you dumb?

Harry, if you would have won the war of 1812, Canada would be part of the
United States of America. ( did you forget that small detail.)

The war was a stalemate. Good thing for Canada...were it part of the
USA, it would be going down the crapper right now, too.

The economy is *booming* in most Canadian provinces. Look at their buck, it's
pulling up to within sight of the almighty Yankee dollar. And it has been the
Loonie coming up, (as much as the dollar going into the dumper because of our
hare-brained management of the federal budget, deficit, and general economy)
that is accounting for the dramatically narrower gap in the currencies.

Gotta watch out for them "socialists", eh?
(insert grin here) They're currently doing very, very well.

You can't win. Now the film production people are crying because work is
dropping off. One big advantage was our weak loonie. Now that it's up to 85
cents and 'Arnold' is working on the film companies in California to stay
home, things are changing. Biggest loosers are Toronto, Montreal & Vancouver
probably followed by Halifax. A neighbour of mine has had steady work
producing CBS 'made for tv' movies the last few years.

I'm always mystified by this statement.

Just what did the French do to help up win the War of 1812?

Also, have you ever bought a MacDonald's hamburger in Paris? What they

John, you were in Paris and bought a burger at MacDonald's??????? Are you

Some of the best small family owned restaurants in the whole world are in
Paris and they are VERY inexpensive. The art of cuisine was invented in

My wife's best friend's husband was posted to the Paris Embassy about 23
years ago. The kids got to choose the eatery if they got very good grades.
They chose McD's. The bill for the meal was about $50. This is when you
could probably eat at the top Paris restaurants for not much more.

How many kids under ten were you dragging into the small, family owned
restaurants?

Hi John: Just one! At that time, when I was in Paris, my Granddaughter was
7 years old, and she ate for free at most of the restaurants.
Most of the smaller, family type restaurants in Europe, do not charge for
the kids meals. This is the same at a lot of places here at home.

Perhaps we could have done that. I don't know if they'd feed four kids
for free, when only three adults are paying. These kids were between 7
and 12 (not ten as I said earlier). Plus, as a newbie to Paris I
didn't have your knowledge.

I spent four and a half years in Stuttgart, and I don't recall ever
getting a free meal for my kid. Most of the time, if we ate out, we
ate at the small, family owned places. Never got free meals though.
