Without a doubt. At least on my part, the "it's Canada" response was more to the fact that it's a legal system that can differ in enough ways from ours that we really wouldn't know what we're talking about.

Oh I definitely knew it was in regards to Canada having a different legal system then the states (just like PsychTau mentioned). I would say the same in regards to American legal issues as well.
It was more of a response to the "blame canada" and the association with us and "our" sports, as if we're drastically different (or crazier) from the states.
But what do I know, I'm just a Canadian

Your bacon is different.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. Anyway, the lax thing was meant as a loving jest. If I didn't like Canada, I wouldn't bother knowing that lacrosse is the National Game and not hockey, as many assume.
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings

Nah, you didn't hurt my feelings - it's hard to penetrate through my frost-bitten skin ;P Damn our winters!
I'm actually originally from Windsor. I tell the "true" Canadians I'm more American then anything else as it's more south then Detroit...
I prefer state shopping anyways.
oh, as well to add to the OP, I know AT&T = Rogers pretty much if that helps with anything, I think I remember some people mentioned they didn't really know much about the phone company..
and our bacon is better

Interesting, since the phone company I was talking about above that let me make changes when the service was in my wife's name was AT&T.
And sorry -- your bacon is not better. Healthier I'll grant, but not better.
