I'm going to ignore the pissing match that's going on and tell you all that I absolutely love Canada. You Canadians have so much to be proud about.

My wife and i lived outside Buffalo for 3 years. We spent a lot of time in Toronto. As a matter of fact we spent most of our free time there. I'm so struck by how civilized life in Canadian cities seems compared to American cities.

We've also been to Ottawa, spent time skating on the canal in -30C weather and loved it. Where else could you leave your shoes by a bench and expect them to be there 2 hours later? Where else can you chow down on beaver tails in public and not get arrested?

There is also great natural beauty in your country. Temagami is spectacular for wildereness canoeing. We haven't gotten to ski out west yet but Lake Louise is high on our to-do list.

And finally: You have Don Cherry! What more is there?

I'm an American who loves his country, but couldn't be more impressed with Canada!
