You might want to check the copyright on that phrase before you bandy it about. Isn't it the title of Hillary Clinton's autobiography?

What tension? Canada and the US have more of a sibling rivalry than anything else. Most of the time we get along, but once in a while, we have to give each other nookies and ruffled hair and tease each other over who's better. The big difference is the Canadians still suck up to mom a bit while the US has been disowned. :biggrin:

We do in fact have just as much right to that name, as do any other occupants of North, South, or Central America.
