Canadians send utility crews all the time to help when hurricanes and other
such disasters hit. We also send fire fighters to help fight your forest
fires. And fire fighters from our area also went to help out after 9/11.
That is from my area.. a smaller populated area. I know that many more were
sent from other areas as well. Sure we don't send the amount of dollars or
perhaps even the numbers that the US sends areas.. but with 10% of your
population it would be impossible.

I hope you don't speak for all Americans As a Canadian I take great

No, most of the rest of us don't even consider him much of
an American. He's best simply ignored, unless you find that sort
of thing perversely entertaining.

Not only did Canada send crews after 9/11, many Canadian
families opened their homes to stranded American passengers
after all America's planes were grounded.

Then there's the infamous "Canadian Caper", wherein the
Canadian Govt hid several American diplomats then smuggled them
out of Iran while The Ayatollah was trying add them to his list
of hostages. All this at the risk of losing their own lives,
of course.

Canada rocks.

In two months they won't even have the electricity running.

IF, and right now that seems to be a very big IF, we can even land in NOLA
I think we'll be heading for Lafayette and staying there for the whole week
instead of coming back to NOLA for 4 days as planned.

That's good to hear I know our local churches have already sprung to
action with collections of clothes and food to go down to the devastated
areas as well as any available hand that can help. DH and I might even
go and we are certainly donating clothes, food, and money. It ticks me
off to hear such nonsense as written by that guy. I gave him the
benefit of a doubt thinking that he couldn't be all that bad. I was
wrong and now I have taken the valuable advise of those wiser here.
He's where he belongs! I don't find that kind of thing entertaining at all.

Obfood - food & water is desperately needed in the hurricane areas.
Please donate whatever you can. Several churches and charities
including the Red Cross have set up drop off points. Oh and don't
forget to donate blood if you possibly can. I'm sure there will be a
need for it in the hurricane areas as well.

Canada does indeed rock IMO, it's the best country around but I'm a
little biased. We have great food too. What about a thread on
Canadian foods?

Nope, you guys got left out this time. I used to watch an Australian
soap called Country Practice until CBC decided to no longer carry it. I
so want to take a trip to Australia before I die. I'm curious about
Australian cuisine so I hope you don't mind me asking. Is is more
British in flavour or does it lean towards the Aboriginal or somewhere
in between? Do you guys really eat the joeys? I know the barby is big
down under. I'd really love to hear a little more about Australian
cuisine in general and not the fancy gourmet stuff but the everyday what
you would eat things. Thanks so much in advance.

Not specifically, but Sheldon thinks Australia is part of Europe. :-)

the person taking your donation. There have been LOTS of scams.

This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but your question reminded me
that I'd been meaning to post this. It's from the foreword to _Terrific
Pacific Cookbook_, by Anya Von Bremzen and John Welchman:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The idea for _Terrific Pacific_ was born out of a two-year sojourn in
Australia in the early '90s. Half-expecting to subsist on meals of
overcooked roast, three vegetables, and canned lager, John and I were
stunned to discover that these clichés were a decade out of date and we had
entered the incredible kingdom of food Down Under. A Pacific country with
strong European traditions, naturally situated on the crossroads between
East and West, Australia was emerging as the most convincing point of
connection between Oriental and Occidental products and cuisines. We were
enchanted by the imaginative creations of Australian chefs, who presented us
with a Five-Spice Duck Pie with Ginger Glaze, Miso-Flavored Oyster Gratin,
and New Zealand Scampi with Green Tea Sauce.

Australian food is the Pacific equivalent of border cuisine, like Tex-Mex in
the American Southwest. It is multicultural eating at its best. I was
astonished by the ease, casualness, and skill with which even Australian
home cooks juggle Asian and European ingredients and techniques.

I remember watching "Flying Doctor" a Aussie serial on CBC in the early
60's.
