1. Wow!
Canadians can read compound sentences!
I'm impressed, it must be their public education.
When will America start reading real stuff?

2. Not only that.....
Apparently, Canadians can read compound complex sentences on intellectually challenging issues. To answer your (probably rhetorical) question: Americans will start reading this stuff when it mysteriously starts to appear within the TV GUIDE listings.

6. I don't live there
Edited on Tue Mar-09-04 02:10 AM by _Jumper_
I live in America. I have a Canadian flag avatar to protest the US denying foreign-born Americans the right to run for president. I probably will be moving to Canada, though, to escape racism in America.

10. Kick
Canadians, please explain how your country became so enlightened. Perhaps we can transfer that to America.
