Can't speak for anyone else but I'm not miffed. I'm an American - North American, that is.
Yes, in many ways our culture is distinct from our southern neighbours (like how we spell "neighbours" for instance) but we share more culturally with the US than anywhere else (and yes, that includes Quebec, the most culturally distinct part of our country). In North America the cultural lines tend to run north and south; a Nova Scotian has more in common with someone from Maine than with a wheat farmer from Saskatchewan. That wheat farmer has more in common with someone from the Breadbasket of the US than with someone who lives on Vancouver Island. You get the picture. Give us guns and make us pay for doctor visits and there ain't so many differences. We all have Jersey Shore and Lady Gaga. Okay I exaggerate just a bit: There is immigration and the social safety net, but our current government in Ottawa is doing their best to "harmonize" those... :-) cheers, frank "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: "P.
