LOL. America is not a crap hole. I do love Canada though, because it's home. I've travelled in the U.S. and there are quite a few places I liked. North Carolina is beautiful and I like Chicago a lot... wasn't too fond of Vegas... not my kind of place. I spent a summer in Green Bay, Wisconsin when I was in high school. The one thing I noticed is that Canadian cities tend to be cleaner... I'm generalizing though. I'm sure there are some very clean U.S. cities.

I noticed you live in Massachussetts. When I was a kid I had friends from Canton, Mass. who used to visit their grandma in my hometown every summer... and my own grandmother lived in Worcester when she was a young woman. She loved it there. A lot of people have told me that Boston feels a lot like the city I live in -- Halifax -- just bigger. I've never been to Boston, though.
