my last visit in 2004 (to see plays at the Stratford Festival) was marred by unsubtle hostility.

Sorry to hear that.

There are anti-American idiots in Canada, it's true. Especially in the big cities (Toronto, Vancouver). But I think you'll find that most Canadians, particularly outside of the big cities are pretty fond of the States. And to be fair, there are anti-American idiots in the States too (Michael Moore, I'm looking at you).

Absolutely true. Ontario province isn't Alberta--I know people in both places. I lived close to the border for 10 years and watched a lot of Canadian tv (& news). I just didn't appreciate Michael Moore being held up as an example of a deep thinker over breakfast.

Maybe, maybe not. My wife and I were landed immigrants when we drove to Lloydtown, a rural Canadian town, for some festival or other. We were well clear of our parked car when we overheard some Canadians walk past it, see the New Jersey plates, and sneer, "What are THEY doing here?"

Spending our money in your stores, Lum. But never again.
