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

You silly Canuck.

We in the United States have the best system in the world. It is truly the world's envy. We have managed to imprison more people per capita than China. CHINA!

We are so great that we have deemed it appropriate to share the greatness which is our legal system with the world via CourtTV (now truTV). Watch and be amazed at the superior system of your more civilized neighbor to the south.

I should call my Rogers service provider to order this channel! Clearly I've been missing out.

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.

They probably want to hide U.S. legal superiority from you. Sorry.
