I totaly agree with you Len. Here in Canada we also get a view of the USA
that I am sure that the Americans themselves cannot see. Here is a little
story for your amusement. It may help you understand.

It was fun to read...
In fact I've met several, dozens of canadians in Amsterdam.
All kinds of ages. Without an exeption: polite, friendly,
easy-connecting, interested in another culture/way of life.
No superficiality, no criticising the welfare system, no cowboy-style
whatsoever.

Jim,
What is the general view on abortion, gay marriage and euthanasia?
How would you characterize Canada in terms of religious parties and
their political power?

But this isn't off topic any more, it's even worse.
Do you know some us- or canadian group where discussions like this are
possible without the obvious flaming and namecalling ?

Regards, Len.
