"But at least you acknowledged Canada. That's a good start for us. "

LOL...sorry Racer96, I did leave out the tempering effect of that wee ocean called the PACIFIC when i talked about Canada. That being said, Canada is a BIG place and Vancouver (and other coastal cities) is somewhat the exception when talking about (or is it aboot?) the winter weather. That's really what I was meant when i mentioned Canada.

Besides, with the Loonie beating the tar out of the dollar, it's the USA that may some day become the overlooked country in North America. So, I better get my ill-informed mentions out of the way while I still can :-)
