To Mike from Vancouver and all Canadians my sincere best wishes to
you on your national day.

Best country is the world to live in without a doubt! Just five
years away from our 150th year anniversary. Does anyone remember
our 100th year celebration? I was just 11 at the time, but I fondly
remember watching just how proud we were to have our Canada.

Yes, I remember it very well -- though I was also 11 at the time. We
drove up from Virginia. We had an attachment to Canada, because we
had travelled there almost every year, driving from Alaska to
Minnesota and back again. Quebec was new to us, though.

I remember the just-built apartments catering to visitors that had
sprung up, the French spoken on the streets, the beauty of old
Montreal's architecture, the amazing (but crowded) metro, the
impressive hovercraft, the space-age look of everything at the fair,
the glass "ski-jump" of the USSR pavilion and the man selling "real
Russian ice cream" to cool off the people in the hot sun waiting to
get in, the geodesic dome of the US pavilion (and the mostly vacuous
"pop art" style displays within), the monorail, Petula Clark's
"Don't Sleep in the Subway" on the radio seemingly every ten
minutes, and a miniskirt density never to be seen again on planet Earth.


You love it so much, then move your f00kin pedophiliac ass up there, ya
stinkin' piece of crap.
