The thing is. . . really, I don't know *anyone* who thinks that.  Not
one person.  Maybe I'm unusual in that I live a half hour from the
border, but I've been around a bit and have never met anyone in, say,
Ukiah, California or Springfield, Missouri, who appeared to think that
Canada was one big Nelson Eddy movie.  Around this part of the
country, Toronto is a popular vacation destination even among people
who would never dream of riding a dog sled or staying in an igloo.

How about it, Americans?  Can we just stipulate it?  Canada is NOT
LIKE THAT.  Don Cherry OK, Bob and Doug maybe, but Nelson Eddy,
igloos, huskies, red tunics are right out.  NOT LIKE THAT.

OK, that's settled.  Besides, everyone knows it's much more like "Anne
of Green Gables." :)
