By way of apology for the earlier thread by the Alberta twit. Canada and the USA has the longest undefended border in the world. We share a common heritage and in this way we are related. I have never agreed with US policy neither foreign nor domestic, yet each citizen is unique and doesn't necessarily represent the whole. There are Canadian jerks as there are American jerks. Being on this site has introduced me to so many wonderful people from both sides of the border. Be well my American cousins. Paws

I appreciate the gesture. The apology needs to come from the source that created the havic. I don't see that happening, therefore, I will express my personal gratitude. Welcome neighbors, with open arms, and open heart.

cj' yes free health care. I'll take this opportunity to brag a little. Yesterday I spent 7 hours in the hospital. Two X-rays, two IV's, oxygen, full blood work. Cost, O. Not a cent. Got to love that. Paws

In the US, you would have to remortgage your house to pay for it.

No kidding! When my son was in the hospital over night for a tonsilectomy, they sent me a bill for $5000 but the bill was generalized. This was just the hospital bill. Not the surgeon. When I asked for a more detailed itemized bill I was floored.

To give you just an idea, they charged us $18.00 for an aspirin.

I have to say i just read "John's" original post...and i too am extremely embarrassed by it...

I repeat as i said there..i am proud to be Canadian, proud to be a neighbour to America and its people...

There is good and bad in all nations..no one country is exempt..

Awww paws. Everyone here knows that this particular idiot is not all of you. You are such a sincere and loving man to feel that you need to apologize for his stupidity.
I had a chance one time to go to Canada, wish I had. I know I missed an opportunity of a lifetime. Viva la.....................oh, never mind.
