I didn't know Pamela Anderson was Canadian. Good to know I was a horny and patriotic teen.

As a Canadian, I didn't know half of them were Canadians! We really need to be more outwardly patriotic

I was born in 1962. For all my life it was Canadians pursuing american culture. It was cool. It was mythic. It was something we didn't have here at home. It's not like that anymore though.
