Sorry if I got too silly in this thread...I found it humorous to think there's this great cultural divide, when mostly I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between many Americans and Canadians, really.

In all honesty, I've liked every Canadian I've met (that I know is Canadian). And, no, we don't learn much about Canada in our schools down here AT ALL...I mean, we don't even learn about Canadian geography, let alone history or government. So, that is Odd, but then again American public schools are all a mechanism to dumb us down, and that's the truth. It's sad. I hope to, one day, be able to take my family on a trip up there to Canada...it is actually a sort of dream of mine. And I DO really think, that L.M.. Montgomery is one of the greatest writers ever, by the way.
