RM> Nahh, he'd make up some lame excuse so he can retain his "mighty
RM> America" view. Hey, maybe I should tell him why the "White House" is

RM> sophisticated satellite network in the world, the best nuclear reactors
RM> (and safest), that many of the major discoveries in medicine were made
RM> by Canadians. Or that Graham Bell was a Canadian. A lot of the
RM> technology developed for the Shuttle was done by Canadians. Y'think
RM> that would be enough? >;) OH, YAH let us not forget the Canadian
RM> involvement in the development of the Hubble Space Telescope, the
RM> C.O.B.E satellite. Man I could go on and on.
No need to. I taught history so know the story of anti-Canada jingoism
quite well. I was also a President of a Kiwanis Club many years ago. I'm

Sincerely,
Frank
