Canada is one of my dream vacation sorta places, particulary Montreal and Nova Scotia. I have a lot of apreciation for the way their country is run.
Yeah...be there on the days when I wear the Maple Leaf hoodie AND the kilt....their little heads are so busy spinning that they are rendered speechless.

I was at a pipe band competition a few weeks ago that was just over on the next block from me...for once I wan't the only guy in the neighborhood with a kilt. I expect that summer will change the dynamic some...either folks will look and say "Oh, he's keeping cool" or "Jeez...isn't that too hot to wear in this weather?".

And Montreal is a gas and I've not made it to Nova Scotia but don't pass up a trip to Toronto (or Vancouver, for that matter)...Toronto truly rocks. I was lucky enough to have been in Montreal for the last season of the Expo's and the nice Montreal Tourism folks treated us to a trip to the ball game...yee-hah!

Best
