:showoff:



Now it is true than in large part that is due more to the American recession and collapse in housing prices, than any dramatic run-up in Canadian asset values.  But we can still take some credit in that.

But it's such a turn of events from pretty much all of history.  I remember as a kid or college student that the US just felt wealthier - nicer buildings, people drove nicer cars.  Now - not so much.

The error is still in the header for every subsequent post.  Apparently changing the title doesn't change the "Re: Canadians now welathier than Americans", thing.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You can still edit the posts individually to remove the bad spelling.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
