 FM> Pssst.  Don't tell him that you defeated us in the War of 1812!!!! He'll
 FM> really blow his cork!!
 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> now called the "White House".  Many Americans (like him) shut right up
 RM> when they find out that Canadians burned it.  (America never screw with
 RM> us again >;).  Or maybe I should mention that Canada has the most
 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
sure you know what THAT means.
Sincerely,
