I remember when a bunch of friends & I were out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant, years ago. One of them is Indian, and his wife (whom he had gone back to India to marry) had not been long in the USA at the time. She remarked that there was too much cheese on the dishes.

Our attitude was, sorry, we don't understand, what is this "too much cheese" you speak of?

He's lactose intolerant.

Nope, it just doesn't agree with me. I can have lactose, just not cheese, and only milk/cream in small quantities. I *love* ice cream, but I can't stand cheese. If someone cooks it in a room I won't go in, as it *stinks*.

Bet he can't handle his gluten either What a wuss.

Nope, I just try and cut down. Too much gluten isn't good for you, and I eat a lot of bread (I live on sandwiches). So I try to avoid it whenever I can.

Whatever, you brits are pathetically weak.

Because we don't like cheese? Or rather, I don't like cheese. You American's are just fat. You put cheese where it doesn't belong and end up obese. At least the French and Italian's have the decency to look good while eating well.

Because your food sucks all around. Your government sucks. Your people suck. Your music sucks. Everything about your dreary little island sucks.

Let's face facts, people moved away from Britain, formed their own colonies, and proceeded to kick your ass or save your ass, where appropriate.

And what great culinary delights has Canada given the world? You're hardly France yourself.

You mean normal people or famous people. For the latter we've produced so many it's quite silly, especially given our population. If the former

Your music sucks.

The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and Pink Floyd all the way up to Radiohead, Oasis, Artic Monkeys, Muse, The Darkness, The Libertines, Pulp and Blur. I reckon our music kicks some Canadian ass.

Deary little island I'll give you, but there's worse things than bleak weather.

You are aware that's not part of the Canadian government...they will never be close to being elected.

Let's see, Canadian artists...

Joni Mitchell, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Guess Who, Stampeders, Neil Young, Alanis Morrissette, Jeff Healy, The Tragically Hip, Shania Twain, Sum 41, k.d. lang, Barenaked Ladies, Nickelback, Leonard Cohen, Steppenwolf, Cowboy Junkies, Rush, Nelly Furtado, Fefe Dobson, Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Diana Krall, Gil Evans, Maynard Ferguson, Avril Lavigne, April Wine, Sarah McLachlan, Paul Shaffer, Daniel Lanois (producer), the Wainwrights (Loudon, Rufus), the McGarrigles (Kate, Anna)... etc.

I'm sure I'm missing several, but it's actually quite a decent list, and that's really only including the rock and pop acts that made a splash. There's a lot more talent up there that doesn't bother coming to the States.

I'm still down with the Brits overall through the years, but Canada is underrated as a source of decent rock, jazz and pop music. IMO.

Celine Dion.
