who by the way, I grew up in Florida where MANY people visit, and of all the people, the consensus my entire life was that the Canadians were the rudest!) <br>An interesting observation on your and your sons part!<br><br>Having visited Panama City Beach, Florida at least 15 times, I must say that the folks from Ontario (at least 1/2 the folks there) were without a doubt the friendliest and most polite. Having spent quite a bit of time in Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston, I must say that the Canadians seem pretty friendly to me.<br>Furthermore, it is very evident when one crosses from Detroit, MI into Windsor, that the Canadian side is much friendlier with better service.<br>Additionally, when you go from Glacier into Waterton Lakes (Montana to Alberta), it is soon evident how much cleaner the part in Canada is (this was 15 years ago, things may have changed).<br><br>Finally I for one, although I find the Canadians position on the war and generally their politics reprehensible, am not going to condemn Canadians for coming to the USA. I can't stand the French and their government (there, I said it), but boy, I sure would like to see Paris some day. And I would hope that, even if they hate Americans, that they treat me with the dignity and respect that American treat them when they are here.<br><br>Steve
