"Richer" is a multi-level word. I'll believe Canada is richer than the U.S. when they produce a music as deep, powerful and far-reaching as the Blues.


Sure....but I'm pretty sure given the context of the discussion the exact meaning of the word is pretty clear.

I think the United States is "richer" than Canada in the sense that they have better Jazz musicians.

Given the huge difference in population, I'm not sure this statement is sustainable. If we stay in the context of forms and formats, we'll be in context...or so k.d.lang, Oscar Peterson and Ian Tyson assure me.

That may be true, but when we get throat cancer at least someone will take care of us.



You might die however before you get an appointment to see a specialist.

Richer, well that actually depends on many things, not just $. But sadly for them, even if they are "richer", at the end of the day, they are still Canadian.

I'm sorry but I spent 6 years in the USMC and this just doesn't mean sh!t to me. They are 1/3 of the continent (depending on how you measure), and one of two countries with which we share a border and a large measure of common heritage. Japing is japing I get it but but so much of the US's 21st Century is dependent on our commonalities and good business/governmental dealings with Canada.

They've been with us when it counted. You can't say that for all of our "allies". Other than CR, I can't think of another country other then them that I'd rather share our border with.

Recording produced by that proud Canadian Bob Ezrin and first "broken" on CKLW a Windsor/Detroit station: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov6ZI58ozYE&NR=1 << the definitive version according to writer/performer Lou Reed.
Inventing ain't the same as "putting a high polish on".
