Now here's a *real* fight that belongs right here in can.politics!

I can understand wanting to use a Cuisinart on your extended family (though
if it's very extended you might want to consider a chainsaw), but what I
can't understand is someone from Waterloo worrying about us lucky people
living in Toronto.  About the only thing wrong with Toronto is those miles
and miles of rotten suburbs -- right out to Waterloo.

C'mon, c'mon, hit me right here!  Or, if you think this is an unfair fight,
how about a match between CalgXry (sorry, my terminal just won't type that
right) and Edmonton?  Let's get our minds off Star Wars and colonies!

POW!!!  BAM!!! Here comes a knockout punch from Vancouver. From someone 
who has the good fortunate of living in God's country, (actual God's 
country is Vancouver Island but that is another story) I find it
hard to believe that you are busy attacking each other when compared 
to Vancouver or Victoria you both live in eye sores. In case you 
think I am biased Jeffrey Simpson of the Global and Wail has called 
Vancouver "the most beautiful city in the world." As you all know the
Globe and Wail seldom has anything good to say about Western Canada, just
consider what they have said about EXPO 86 or the Western Accord. (The 
press these two items have generated locally is a lot more positive than 
that of the Wail's).

PS We have been having some trouble with our out going news feeds and our
system administrator wants to see if things are fixed. It would therefore be 
appreciated if some of you people from outside BC would send me mail
indicating when your site received this and the full path of how it got there.
Thanks in advance.

You know, of course, that the reason that it's called God's country is
that nobody else wants it ...
