Al, you are right, American is a misused work, and because of that Canadians
do not want to be called are Americans!  That's up with calling people from
New Zealand an Australian or a Swiss a German...  I (and 31+ million more
people like me) live in North America, but do call myself an American.

See http://home7.swipnet.se/~w-72891/CanadianClub/CCsales/ad.html for more
clarification on this.

Cheers and happy Friday!  :-)

American is a misused word.Canadians are Americans, yet don't face
quite such challenges when importing grey market cars. What did Malcom
have to do to get his new Dehler (?) to comply? I bet it didn't cost him
$4500 like US RI's!
