Kind of a non sequitor, but years back, before we had cable, on very clear summer days, we could pick up Canadian TV from across the lake (Erie, that is). I also listened to CKLW, a Windsor radio station - it came in really clear. Very cool.
Please don't take anything I said earlier as a criticism of Canada; my point was that sometimes things can be said or done by some folk from either country that doesn't represent the entire population of that country.
Besides, we here in the US don't reserve boorish behavior for those from other countries. Remember, I'm from Cleveland - not only did we have the bottle throwing at the Browns game this past year, but we also had the 1974 Nickel Beer Night incident at the (now gone) Municipal Stadium, when Cleveland fans doused Texas Ranger outfielders with beer and the Rangers' manager pulled the team off the field. Cleveland lost by forfeit. But, that isn't representative of Clevelanders in general (we're pretty cool, really), or even of Cleveland sports fans.
