Growing up in Buffalo makes me appreciate Canada quite a bit more that say someone in NYC for sure. When I was younger the drinking age @19 for sure, (plus the peelers.... )
But Mr. Dressup...Wacth that all the time w/what was it, the Freindly Giant and that other show w/the werewolf dancing to Jumping Jack Flash. Can't remember the name. And for sure HNIC w/Grapes!

But then I'm not Canadian...but wish I could be :thumb:

The fact that the government wants to step in and do something about ABM fees to protect us poor little citizens who are either too lazy or too stupid to cross the street.[/sarcasm]
