    We've got idiots on both sides of the border. Some people just weren't raised right!

    I suggest that everybody who is bickering over "Americans this, and Canadians that" reads this and watches the video

    Oh yeah, the 401 between Trenton and Toronto. It's too bad the US citizenry can't/won't recognize, or doesn't cast on the news, things like that. We do have "Veterans" highways in various places though.

    Off topic a bit. Just after 9/11, my wife and I were in the UK, on Remembrance Day. We were in Gatwick airport coming back to the US. At 1100 an announcement came over saying there would be a "moment of silence". Yeah, right. Much to my surprise, when the bells chimed, there really was. EVERYTHING stopped. Not a sound could be heard anywhere. Quite chilling, if you will.

    We used to go into Canada seven days a week for Ford MoCo., we did that for near ten years. Never had any problems over there, with customs or drivers. It was funny in a way, everyone thought I was Canadian! From those cute little girls working the booths on the Canadian side to the morons with the trigger fingers on the US side.

    In regards to the idiot spray painting the trailer, it does not surprise me. Most drivers out here are just ignorant, the old "Federal Marshall" line comes to mind, if you get my drift.

    But, times are tough out here, and you all know that. And allot of these rubes need somewhere to channel the anger, so in some cases, you are it. Do like many of us do here, turn off the CB. The only time mine comes on is in bad weather or a traffic jam. I get so tired of it all, and can kinda relate. I leased my truck on over at Schneider, man talk about abuse. Name calling, getting cut off, etc... The only thing I have going for me is 500+ hp under the hood and no governor.

    "s a Proud Canadian I can say even we don't count Quebec'ers as they are always going on about seperating"

    I am a Quebecer, sort of. I am an American who married an English Canadian so to let some people know, not all people in Quebec are French and not even all the French want to separate.

    Having said that however, living in Quebec can be a giant pain in the butt sometimes.
