Actually, I was joking. There are many more significant differences. Our large francophone population along with the way we deal with multiculturalism come to mind immediately. I recall way back in grade 7 or 8, my teacher Mr. Wagner (wherever he is now) telling us that America is a melting pot, and we're a salad bowl. Immigrants come to your country to become part of American culture. In Canada they retain their particular "flavour" yet still become part of the whole (salad). I know that things have changed in the 40-odd years since that analogy was given to me, but there's still some truth to it. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
