Allen I don't think you need to run towards the border just yet.... I think you ahve to be in agreeance with at least 75% of the comments.... LOL Even I, a Canadian have to say.... just who the hell IS Ernie Coombs...??? Apparently I'm supposed to know the man..... gulp.... am I not Canadian?? lol

Well, I'm totally in love with a Canadian corrections officer...so does that qualify me? lol And who the hell is Ernie Coombs?

Allen

Lol Pookie. I was born here and I only agree with 25% of it..Guess I'm living on the wrong side of the border. As a kid we never had much Canadian TV for influence. It was all American programming, for the most part.

I am Canadian.........my t-shirt says so could be added. And yes, I am Canadian and proud of it but the humor v.s. humour in your posting is really quite good. I think I' go check my roof, or is that "ruff", the snow is actually melting here right now. Cheers!

Are the chinooks blowing into Brandon?

Is chinook a Canadian term only?....
