I stand corrected. I typed it as two words to start with but it didn't look right so I changed it.

It would have inhibited his chances of a cameo role in the Poseidon Adventures II that's for sure.

I know that Canada has two land borders and both are with the USA.................. I may think of more.

Congratulations ... you know lots ...

Anyway any county that can produce both Joni Mitchell and Buffy Sainte-Marie must have something going for it

And don't forget 9-11 ... and the thousands of stranded American travellers who ended up at Canadian airports and the many Canadian families who took them into the homes ... so, when the chips are down, we're not all that bad
