The Canucks may have loonies and toonies for a couple of their coins, but I think it's we who are the REAL "loonies" for treating our very best neighbors like this.
Another thought, Bare... My husband worked for a trucking and logistics company which contracted to do business in Canada at one point. His first question to the Canadian colleagues was, How can we train our people to honor their relationship with your people? Their reply was, If they will realize that we are Canadians and not assume we are just Americans north of the border... We have our own history, traditions, society. A very good point, imo. Sometimes we Americans forget that. We're not the only ones here.
