Brian says (9:16 AM): I was looking at houses in Ottawa... I actually have a temptation in me to move
Jeff ******* says (9:19 AM): Eww, Ottawa is gross. It's infested with politicians, and presently, 1 Harper as well.

And by the posting you wrote, the Canadian schools must be very proud.

Judging by the number of grammar and spelling attacks we see daily on this forum, I would say illiteracy is alive and well throughout North America as a whole.
Athens, Americans and Canadians, as people, are virtually identical. I have travelled the US extensively, and see no difference. There are passive Americans, aggressive Americans, intelligent Americans, idiotic Americans, rude Americans, and ones that would open their arms to you without thinking. The same goes for Canadians.
Our government policies may differ (for which I am very happy) , but people are people.

This study is both wrong and dumb.
There are differences between people of different nations.
It's not caused by politics but by language. Your primary language dictates how you think.
A Canadian thinks in English, so is quite similar to an American. However, a Frenchman thinks in French, so is markedly different than an Australian thinking in English. Similarly, a Frenchman isn't much different than a Senegalese.
This tends to go unnoticed when dealing with individuals and only shows when large groups of people are involved.

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

I guess no one watches Star Trek TNG
The hologram tells the surprised group that her race found itself alone in their travels of the galaxy. The genetic puzzle was created in hopes that those races would come together in cooperation and fellowship in order to activate the message. The humanoid tells the group that they all come from this common seed, and implores them to remember this bond. The message fades, leaving Nu'Daq and Gul Ocett unbelieving, and repulsed at the mere thought of having anything in common.

I was hoping some one would have remmebered that line.
