Hm... Kind of unexpected...
From what you said in your "Author's Comments" I thought this was going to be a lot more offensive... It wasn't at all, though, so congratulations! I hope you know that not all Canadians hate Americans (I'm assuming your guy on MSN gave you that impression or something...) Hell, I have long-lost (well, now they're found) American relatives, and I couldn't tell you what I would do without churros or Disneyland. If you ever have the opportunity, try a beavertail. It's food, a little like a churro but flatter. Hella good. :)
