In Canada - we have these things called a "heritage minute" which show before movies - or on commercials - there is this one about Superman - where this guy is telling his girlfriend about a new idea he has for a comic strip - and of course its about Superman. The whole idea is that Canadians will feel proud about our heritage - I might feel good knowing that a Canadian came up with the idea for Superman - but - he's an American for sure (as are three of my siblings by the way) ... and then they have this commercial about basketball - you know why they call it basketball - because Canadians used real baskets (with no holes of course). maybe my point is this - we're all North "Americans" - we share the same culture to some extant - can't we all just get along and love one and other ... if I see another "heritage" commercial about how a Canadian idea was Americanized - I'm gonna move to the states and forget about this frozen - hockey infested - country.
Complaining is a big Canadian thing ...
