Canadians and Americans are basically the same. There, I said it. Can we all get along and sing kumbaya now?

You mean Canadians are virtually the same as Americans but they live in a sub-par climate and talk funny.

Oh, like Minnesota  is known for its wonderful weather (and accent for that matter )

Sorry but I don't have ready access to a gun. I already pointed out that I'd need to get one first.

You live in the one place in the US that doesnt allow its citizens ready access to guns.  How sad for you.  You must be beside yourself with worry.  How do you cope?

Also, HVC, I was at the Stampede this year and made it through just fine without a gun.

I've lived in more than one place. Besides there are average citizens with guns in NYC.

ya, that don't like poor sick people and have a weird thing with guns, but we push around flatened bowling balls and call it a sport. Everyone has their quirks

Poor sick people have options - it's called the Emergency Room.

Last I checked a Curling stone didnt cause any deaths (although I havent actually seen BB curl) or cause people to go without medical care.

I prefer our quirks.

Besides we can go anywhere without a gun...
