Harry......we know one hell of a lot more about you Americans than you
realize. The pity is that you collectively know *nothing* about us. I.....like millions of others......know EXACTLY where I was and what I was doing at the moment we heard the JFK news. Feeding Elayne, 5 months old, and heard it on the radio, plus got a phone call. It is such a pity that your news media don't tell you anything about us......I was stunned the other day to be told by a Florida woman that they had NO IDEA we were fighting in Afghanistan and she apologized profusely on behalf of all Americans. We get alternately amused and ****ed off re this attitude. But I digress.....this is not a political ng. Enjoy your Turkey Day......ours was Oct. 11th or so. (the right time, chuckle.....coz when do they bring the crops in??) PS.....No looking this up now, but off the top of your head, where did Christopher Colombus land in the US.....seeing as you have a holiday for him, and statues and so on. I do know where he landed, btw. But that is your quiz for today. Cheers.....Heather PS.....I sure am on the right side of the border. There is no way I would live or vacation in the US. No offence intended, but I prefer Canada. "webster72n" wrote in message ... "Heather" wrote in message ... You are a day late and a dollar short!! JFK was assassinated on Nov. 22nd, 1963.

There you go generalizing again, Figgs. You find one brain dead 'snowbird'
from Fla. and throw the rest of us in the same pot. It is common knowledge amongst everyone I know that Canadian troops are in Afghanistan and have been since the latter part of 2001 (or thereabouts, I don't have the specific date). IIRC, it was your Prime Minister Chretien that deployed them, mostly consisting of Naval personnel patrolling the north Arabian Sea. At their peak, there were about 1,500 total. Then again in 2002 there were approx. 750 combat/reconnaissance personnel sent to Kandahar. And, yes, we are quite aware of the fact that there were four of these brave men killed in a "friendly fire" incident during the first six months of deployment. Probably why the group returned home about mid-year. As it is a NATO operation, it would only stand to reason that a NATO country would participate......duh. Since Harper took charge, I think you are up to about 2,000 troops now. And, yes, I am regularly made aware of Canadian casualties that go on today in Afghanistan, along with those of other countries. Don't think that we ALL turn a blind eye to these things. Now here's an idea.......how about making it a law that all American defectors have to spend 5 years in the Canadian military and send their butts to Afghanistan? How's that for fair and balanced? And, I was in study hall when the announcement that JFK had been shot came over the public address system. Further, we went through the Columbus thing a long time ago.........I knew that answer, too.

That's NB.....not ON. We don't get 10 feet of snow.......could get down
fairly low in temp tho. But we are allegedly on the same latitude as just north of San Francisco. Must check that old wives tale out. Cheers.....Figgs "John John" wrote in message ...

Don't feel bad......a US teacher couldn't answer it. First trip he landed up in Hispanola (Dominican)......second trip he landed on the north coast of Jamaica. Third one, we think he landed in Cuba. He never once hit mainland USA. I do believe your country's name is from the explorer "Amerigo Vespucci".

You don't have to go *all the way* to Texas, but if you did, H wouldn't mind, I am sure. It won't be long before the US demands passports to enter the US. Forget what date they said in the papers this week. But coming soon. And there are probably only about 2 places I want to see in the US......and one is totally wrecked. New Orleans. The other is the Loon's house.....grin. Not bloody likely that I will get an invite tho......he can't handle *superior women*........bwa ha ha. Cheers.....Heather |

Sheesh, Loon. You are smarter than the average American bear. I will
have to look up the numbers but I think you could safely up our troop deployment via NATO. And we are bitching at NATO to send more troops in......the Brits and the Canucks are tired of doing Bush's job for him. (evil grin) We went in our usual peacekeeping role.....we are now fighting alongside the US. (when they aren't strafing us with Warthogs)!! I have a beautiful PowerPoint here on our Canadian soldiers who died. An Indiana friend sent it to me. Too bad you don't have PP on your computer. I will get Mike M. after you to put the reader on. I will check the troop numbers tomorrow, but remember that Chretien was deadset against going to Iraq. The wimp we have in there now has been too kissyface with that cowboy you have in the white house. He will not last as PM if he keeps that up. Figgs........and that Floridian was born and bred there.

I remember the event, and where I was: on a ship--the USS Albany--in Boston
Harbor. But as to the coverage on TV, I've seen several features about John Kennedy the last couple of days. Joe "Heather" wrote in message ... You are a day late and a dollar short!!

The "Florida woman" doesn't surprise me a bit--but she doesn't represent any
kind of majority. I know something about you. I worked in Camberley for a year and a half. I thought it was a neat place, with neat people.

My dear Joe.......you should know a hell of a lot more.
I AM CANADIAN!!!! But being considered British/Scots/etc is probably as close as a Yank will get to understanding what a Canadian is. We have better beer and invented hockey and basketball and have the McKenzie Bros. (not to mention Celine Dion, Jim Carrey, Paul Anka, and so on). A Canuck (ROFL) "Joe" wrote in message . ..
