And who the leader of the free world will be does affect me, even had I not been born in America. And interestingly, the more Huckabee's name is mentioned regarding presidential politics, the more I hear about Canada -- as in, "If he wins, we're moving to Canada!"<BR/><BR/>I've often thought since moving here that there's more of an eastern-(mid)western divide in North America rather than north (Canada)-south (US) divide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-81770341166936712472008-01-21T11:44:00.000-08:002008-01-21T11:44:00.000-08:00I can live with CanMerican. :) I've noticed actual...I can live with CanMerican. :) I've noticed actually that there's much less of a difference (barely one at all between Canadians and Americans in northern states than there is between those Americans and fellwo Americans in the South.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05895897568006441289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-36695658301441046632008-01-21T09:27:00.000-08:002008-01-21T09:27:00.000-08:00Hummm..

Probably because we're just a couple of states away. HE! No really, our TV channels have a lot of Canadian programming, we have the same type of Governmental structure, the same type of melting pot of culture and backgrounds and aside from that one time that we tried to invade you in the late 1700's (sorry 'bout that, what were our forefathers thinking?) we've had a peaceful relationship. Right? I guess America, especially this day in age, can't say that about very many countries. I for one am glad to have you as a neighbor! What about dubbing yourself a "CanMerican"? ;)Welcome to Great Goblets!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14490323855257756801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-91008340351415901572008-01-18T13:31:00.000-08:002008-01-18T13:31:00.000-08:00I think it's a big arrogant of people online to as...I think it's a big arrogant of people online to assume everyone is American and start chatting about American issues.. then get upity because someone in another country comments. How can you NOT know about these issues, when so many Americans forget they're posting to a world-wide audience?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463371508970237621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-67573250933502237472008-01-18T12:08:00.000-08:002008-01-18T12:08:00.000-08:00That's probably what makes it so easy to slip into...That's probably what makes it so easy to slip into being an...Amimican?

I don't think our neighbours realize how much of Canada is innundated with American stuff.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we're Canuckistanians, in the state of Canada.<BR/><BR/>It's even more US-centric here in NB, especially when I'm so close to the border I can *see* Maine.Andrea Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555940591810773230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-79120109380628243662008-01-18T10:55:00.000-08:002008-01-18T10:55:00.000-08:00LOL I don't know what it could be called, Dawn.

Just don't fall into the trap of thinking you're in the state of IL. I think our current governor is following the last governor into the Big House. Our taxes will be going up too.
