Your welcome Coteblanche, I lived there, and every time one of them would tell me how we did something to "hurt their economy or whatever" I'd remind them, if it hadn't been for us they would ALL be speaking Russian. I knew in those days it would take about 5 hours to get from the western edge of eastern Europe to Pareeeeew, and as we have experienced in WWII the Parasians welcomed their conquerors with open arms and everything else.
Say, where in Canuck land do you live, I used to live just north(?) of you on the American side.
