Rudi: As you know I lived the first 60 years of my life in a small rural hamlet in Nova Scotia. Living in Nova Scotia, seeing an American licence plate the person was either a tourist or a relative. I now live in a small rural hamlet in SW Ontario, about 35 miles from the US border or probably less than 200 miles from 20% of the entire US population. They are in here everyday, I go to the US at least once per week, quite often more. There is probably a higher percentage of MI vehicles on ON roads than NB vehicles on NS roads. Note I did say percentage and roads as in county roads, so they are in here doing business, visiting , etc.

Now if I see another Canadian licence plate, (other than ON) it is very rare down here. You know the guy is either a tourist or a relative. Having said all this, my daughter comes here to visit and asks, " Dad, how did you find a spot to live, in Ontario, more peaceful and quiet than where you lived in NS, and this close too so many people and services." I just tell her,"I know how to pick em."

So Rudi, as far as I can tell the main differences between Canadians and Americans is some of them are tourists and some are relatives.

Oh by the way, some on either side of border belong to the Corperate Elite, I suspect they are our real problem, plus the fact politicians value their money more than our votes. We need to straighten that one out both sides of the border.
