I also take exception with your calling Canada "Canuckistan", please keep comments like that to yourself, and show some dignity. If you have a legitimate reason for doing it please explain it, if not then just stop it.
My kilted Games experiences are based on attending the same all over Ontario and occasionally in the USA. In the US many attendees are kilted without a particular reason and that does not match my Canadian observations. When I use the term "Canuckistan" on this site and elsewhere, it is a wry reference to what I see as this country's tendency to impoverish or foolishly limit itself in other ways due to an extreme tendency towards liberalism and/or socialism. And as a free citizen of Canada I will reserve and continue that as my privilege, sorry though if it gives offense (which apology of course shows my Canadian credentials).
