I've only got good to say here... (from living in the Detroit area my whole life)

As for TV productions, I grew up on The Green Giant, Mr. Dressup, and Bozo.. all filmed in Windsor.

The coverage of the Olympics is far better on CBC than it is in the US. They are less biased and show more variety of events. In the US, you only see the things we're good at. How else does a person learn about curling and dressage?

"Abowt" "Hahckey".. I love the accent!

Makes you feel rich when you exchange your US dollars for Canadian!

Much lower prescription drug costs.. many are crossing the border to get their meds these days.

The French Chinese restaurant I went to in Windsor.. imagine my surprise to find the fortune in my fortune cookie was in French on one side and English on the other! How totally awesome is that?

(As far as health care, here in the good ole' USA, I had to wait 7 weeks to get in to see a specialist when I was dehydrated, anemic and losing 2 1/2 pounds a week for 5 months, so I don't think they have it any worse than we do!)

I wouldn't want any country OTHER than Canada to be our northern neighbors!
