Ahem what about the West Coast??? We far better weather than most of Canada and the Northern US. I grew up in Winnipeg too. Seems like everyone is FROM the prairies.....very interesting!!

Although last year I went to New York and I have to say it was the greatest city EVER yup its true!! Can't wait for an excuse to go back.......

Oh yeah and what the heck is a Cannies???? it's CANUCK all the way, eh!?

Okay. I know the lumberjack song... you know: I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day! I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I go to the lavatory, I put on womens clothing, and hang around in bars!

And, I'm willing to learn to build an igloo, but I refuse to kiss a halibut. Am I in? :thumbsup:

I've heard from a lot of people that New York rivals that of Los Angeles :P So to foreigners NY must seem pretty neat.

Hey El, how about us taking a trip together. First two weeks in Canada and then two weeks in the US. I'm pretty sure we can settle this argument!

I'll finally get to see Vancouver at the end of the month, although we'll only be spending a few days in the city, I'll be going to the Island for most of my time there :)

Looking forward to it!
