Even If i drive a few hours south of the ontario-new york border, I find that many americans are unable to even name our prime minister.

okay, Lil_G, you've just inspired a fun rant that I concidered opening a new thread for but, it'll be fun to do it here. The following for all Americans here, are myths about our country. Now, I hope that no one is offended by the following list, but I SWEAR i've been presented with each and every of the following by people I've met in the States. And i'm talking about smart people. I swear, Jay Leno should do a Jay Walking episode on this.
1)We have our OWN currency. We do not use american dollars and we do not use british pounds.
2) We DO NOT live in igloos and we drive cars, not huskey drawn sleighs.
3) it's you americans who say dollar and out and about funny. NOT US.
4) we have a prime minister, no president, and provinces, not states.
Other Canadians can feel free to add to this list. i was gonna go on but i realized i was about to start to sound like that AMAZING 'I am Canadian' commerical. That sums it up nicely.
But thanks for the political additions guys. I think i'd end up sounding like an idiot if i tried to get into that stuff. I know some things, but not much...
