Heh. I just got back from Canada...brought back All-Dressed Ruffles, Smarties, Aero bars (I like air in my chocolate and I'm not sure why) and lots and lots of Kinder eggs.
Someday I will relocate permanently...
Oh, and a fact about Canada: The story of how the border between the San Juans and Gulf Islands was established is contained on this webpage:
http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1030.html
In summary, both the British and the Americans wanted the San Juans, and the treaty that established the border in the West was so ambigiously worded that both countries claimed San Juan Island for themselves. Conflict broke out on the island--but the only shot fired (by an American farmer) killed a British pig, thus naming the conflict the "Pig War." Troops co-occupied the island until the German kaiser said that the San Juans rightfully belongs to the United States and clarified the border that now runs between the San Juans and the Gulf Islands.
