You folks drive with the top down even when the temperature is -90 Celtigrade, or whatever way you measure temperature in your country.

Full disclosure: I once owned a toque and I know how to use it. Truth be told, if that freakish dried-up Halloween pumpkin "businessman" manages to get elected, my wife Cher and I will be applying for citizenship to your wonderful country, so I might need a reference.

I've owned a convertible in Canada, thought sun roofs are more convenient.

What makes you think that all the folks with US addresses on this forum are US born Americans? ;)

The war of 1812 was won by the British/Canadians and the Americans could only repel them from a few locations, New York, Baltimore and New Orleans.

We are still in the rest of the US quietly enjoying milder climates, and inviting more of us CDN's down during the cold time of year "SnowBirds" :D

Why do you think the US has Hockey teams in the southern states? :p
