    Not all of us do; I frequently speak very highly of our neighbours to the north. Generalization disproven.

    I think we're going to have to agree to disagree Canuck Nl.

    Frankly, and again with the exception of the South Park lads who live in a unique universe, so few Americans even think of Canada over a period of, say, a decade that it could hardly amount to much anyway. Whereas the folks I'm talking about seem to be totally obsessed with the USA. Jilted lovers? Who knows?

    Again, I think you'd be surprised. I frequently mention Canadian history in my classes, and as a military historian, I fully acknowledge the bravery and history of the Canadian forces.

    Personally, I love Canada and have many friends who live in BC, Ottawa and elsewere. If anything, the US could learn from Canada.

    Sorry to inadvertently send the topic spiraling downward, my origional comment was ment to be in jest.

    I didn't think it was spiralling, it was growing.

    Anyway I'm hoping someone will take up the BBC comedy theme. I forgot one of the greatest, Hancocks Half Hour. I remember one show where Tony was determined to be the legal successor to Bonnie Prince Charlie and wanted to be installed on the throne (or, I suppose, the stone) but was rejected by the Scots.

    Much appreciated Todd, but if only historical Canadians didn't so easily turn into either Americans or Brits in the Hollywood and British war movies, like say in The Great Escape or The Longest Day....
