I don't watch much hockey..or baseball or football...hell, I don't even have cable...just rabbit ears.

Cool. There is only stupid poeple wich dont change their mind. Il n'y a que les ignares qui ne changent pas d'idée.
I appreciate the fact that you recognize the generalization you did. Come to Quebec with an open mind, it is the only way an anglophone can survive here. We (my generation) are fed up with all this language war thing, but we will keep on protecting our mother language for sure.
Cant wait to get usa poutine. Exotic!
Take care.

I am super happy to be able to come down to the Dixie cup. The problem wasn't really financial, although the plane ticket has come down by $400, it was making sure my wife was cool with things...
And with three kids, some of you know how tricky things can get...remember, my hobbie is my job and my job is my hobbie...I have a jobbie.
It can get pretty ridiculous...but my family is very patient...
it will be a great event...I know!

Man... why didn't I think of such an accurate way to stereotype a people.
I've paid my way out of a traffic ticket in Mexico for five US dollars, that explains those Mexicans now.
I was allowed to ride in the front seat of and Argentinian cop car... now I understand those Argentinians.
I heard an Australian cop use a swear-word... maybe I better not let my child travel to place where the country doesn't know what manners are.
That American cop who caught me riding a skateboard in Los Angeles...

What are the chances of a topic like the dregs ad winding up being related to Guelph...aka the U of Goo...aka the University of Guelph
they have a worldwide reputation for training animal doctors...hence the name

Sparky, if you can hate a complete province and bash it's people based on a lousy cop encounter,
be prepared to have a long list of people to hate. If i get arrested in the USA, i won't bother to ask the cop to speak french to me. Go figure there are still places in the world where english is not the main language.
And Guelph is in Ontario, not in Québec.

I do have a skating story as to why I sounded bitter about French Canadians, of which I am sorry for throwing such a horrible generalization out there. Oh and it was very narrow-minded of me to put my govt affiliations in this board whatsoever. but to my story....
It was five in the afternoon, and I was skating down the sidewalk of Quebec street in the beautiful city of Guelph, Quebec with a few friends of mine, one being from Guelph. I apparently allowed the wheels of my skateboard to come off of the ground, and we got stopped by the police. The officer refused to speak any english, and he spoke french so fast that after taking four years of high school french, I could only understand half of the words coming out of his mouth. He told my friend to shut up and stand elsewhere, which he did. He handed me a ticket clipboard, which had my ticket info all in english, and he continued to speak only french to me, all of the info on the ticket was in plain english, including what he wrote. Like any other time I have been ticketed, I attempted to act friendly and in such a manner that he could educate me in the ways of the local laws (pensive and respectful.) I signed the ticket, and handed him back his clipboard, and apparently this is not what he was asking me to do. At this point he pulled out handcuffs and arrested me. I tried four times to explain to him that I did not understand him clearly, and did he know english? he never responded to me. I was placed in a police car, and taken to the local police station, and placed in a hall to sit and wait for god knew what. in the station, I distinctly saw and heard him speaking in plain english to someone in an adjacent room. After some negotiations of my misunderstanding (he was asking me to put my board down.) I was released and went to my friends house and he was just as confused as I was about what happened. I ended up paying a fine of $200.00 U.S. for allowing my skateboard wheels to leave the ground, and skating on a street that skateboarding is forbidden on. There are other stories, but they are non-skate related. As far as political views, I have tons of friends with so many varied opinions that it doesn't bother me that you stated what you stated earlier F. No hard feelings, and let's go skate sometime. Oh and I do read french, and I do not like to eat poop.

Well, DT, here's my take on the 2nd ad...
to ban that ad would have been pretty foolish...I think my skin has sufficiently thickened over the past few years.
I don't publish BRAIN SURGERY QUARTERLY...or MID EAST REPORT & NEWS...it's skateboarding...and I figure this is about as controversial as I am going to get.
With the publication of the latest ad, Dregs and I are kinda agreeing to disagree...It's like a draw.
Carry on...

back to the Dreg comercial:
This Dreg commercial was crap. Makes me sad that in a world with a lot of talented skater artist, they could not come up with better stuff than this. Freud would have loved to analyse this one...
