@ ciripet: I’m here to help…
Actually, I really love the Canadian people, and that’s not a joke at all, because I have never forgotten how they sheltered and rescued 6 American Embassy personnel who fled their embassy in Tehran, Iran, on November 4, 1979, and those six Americans being sheltered, eventually fled Iran using Canadian passports on January 28, 1980. Their escape and rescue from Iran by Canadian ambassador Kenneth D. Taylor has come to be known as the Canadian Caper.
So impressed was I with the performance of Ambassador Taylor and his associates in Tehran, that I sent a letter to The White House (and many members of the US Congress) suggesting that he be given honorary American Citizenship, as was done with UK Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.
And to this day, if I am in a restaurant or drinking establishment and I discover that a Canadian is in attendance, I always try to pick up their tab.
When they react with surprise to that tiny gesture, I just say, “That’s my small way of thanking your country for the rescue of the American hostages in Iran.”

Canadians kick ass, rock, and walk on water!!!!!
