As I said that many times here how condecsedning and downright contemptuous Canadians are towards America and Americans. But God damn it when Canadians want to buy goods, duty free in American shopping malls they pour across the border to our malls and when they need life saving medical procedures they jump the border fast. My Canadian daughter-in-laws parents did when her father needed by pass surgery. I would have been six months to get on a waiting list just to wait a year to get on another list to have the surgery. They came to Prescott, Arizona where have they have a summer home. Got the whole procedure done in three weeks.

I know and you will find most of those people have never REALLY met Americans long enough to really know them. My wife is from Denver and I know her sisters and her parents quite well. They are normal people as people, and have the same personal challenges and personality quirks as any Canadians I know.

My whole family on my Dad’s side are pretty anti-American but live in Palm Springs 5 months of the year. Go figure.

Problem is anti-Americanism is pretty knee jerk here, even among so called conservatives - of which there isn’t many.
