Bill - She was probably from Alberta, which would explain her thinking....

I know that my relatives there are from another planet!

I'm from Alberta. I know Albertans. I live in Toronto. I know Torontonians too.

She's a Torontonian.

And her general derogatory tone was an excellent example of why Westerners don't have the warm and fuzzies for Torontonians either.

As much as I found Rick Mercer's "Talking To Americans" as funny as anyone else, I often thought you could probably get the same responses about Canada from Canadians.

No doubt.

And frankly, I've heard Edmontonians say stupid things about Toronto when I've been back -- and it makes me just as pissed.
