I'll say this about Canada, The few days i spent there were the most enjoyable time i had in quite a while!
My idiot friend had to cross the border into Canada using a Canadian Rental, The Us Border guards almost didn't let us back into the states due to the paperwork not matching up on the car!
Hey! No sweat off of my back, i wouldn't have minded one bit staying a week or more!
Put some sunny spots in that country, or take over some island in the caribbean like the US did with Hawaii -- and perhaps Canada might get some respect from the US. Whenever a US movie has Canada somewhere in the plotline -- it automatically becomes boring and b-level. Us Americans do have a MAJOR fascination with the British though and anything British and European!
