O Canada

What better way to get some relief from rude southerners than to sing the praise of our northern neighbors!

This is for Frankie, Autumn and other fine Canadian ladies:

See Jack - there's definitely some things we can agree on!

May I inquire as to whom the rude southerners might be?

Sorry, I'll rather stay on topic and talk about some outstanding Canadians, such as Frank Gehry, James Cameron, Michael J Fox, Morley Safer, Alex Trebek, just to name a few.

Since mention of rude southerners was made, I gathered that was part of the topic. I have considered southerners for the most part to be of the polite sort. My mistake I guess.

Joe, you're right, of course. My use of "southerners" was inappropriate when I really had only posters from one state in mind. Now, back to praising Canada.

Jack, you are usually the epitome of civility and good cheer. So when you mentioned rude, I took notice. I'm still at a loss as to whom you are reffering, and why?

Joe, more mea culpa from me. "Condescending" might have been a better choice than "rude". Diplomacy is usually more effective than "lecturing" when making accusatory posts in another regional forum,

I'm sorry Jack. I did research the thread to which you alluded. I'm just not used to hearing terms like rude and condescending coming from you. What troubles me more is that the full story seems to be getting swept under the rug. Perhaps we will learn more when the banned posters return.

My favorite Canadians are Paul Shafer, who conducts a helluva an orchestra for CBS' Letterman Show, and Neil Young...longtime singer, songwriter.
