I apologize Mulv. The term was not intended as a slur. It's just my pet name for folks from Canada. No more a slur than referring to Fountain Hills as Fountaintucky. No insult was intended.

As for the health care issues. I've not spoken to anyone who actually lives in Canada who is enthusiastic about the state of national health care. THey all comment on the waits involved for any serious surgeries and the poor quality of general health care. The only comments I've heard have been from folks who work for the same company I do, but in the Canadian branch. THat is not a small organization and I've yet to hear anyone say anything good about it. They have enmasse warned us southerners about the poor situation we have in store for us should this national health care bill pass.

If you have a rebuttal, I would be interested in hearing it. Unfortunately, I will be away this weekend and will not be at Pavillions.
