(I think my ears are burning :-) 
If I didn't know Jamie better I'd have thought that he may have been
insinuating that the opinions of native born Canadians are more valued
than those of non-native born Canadians.  However, since I do know him
I can only conclude that the "expatriate American" to whom he is
referring is someone other than me :-).

Also, perhaps Jamie should consider the possibility that those of a
non-North American background can be far more objective in this debate
than a Canadian could ever be.

PS Know how much the average subsidy for a VIA ticket is? $85.00

   Perhaps I should get into the swing of things and start trying to ram
   *my* heritage down other people's throats. Hope you like calypso and
   over-proof rum :-).
