Wicked! Well done.
I thought I heard a bout a film called Why Everybody Hates Toronto- is that accurate or was it the book I heard abut?

I travel Canada a lot and am a bit concerned (with a helping of amusement) about the fact that Canada has a scapegoat- Toronto. Everywhere I go they really hate the Maple Leafs and what is there to hate?
We lose every year!
You ask people why they hate Toronto and they respond, " I don't know, I have always hated Toronto."
It seems unnecessary given that we are supposed to be the most enlightened country in the world- and the fact is that it is that Ottawa who we should be picking on!

Oh well- guess we humans have our foibles...

Like the one one quote I read on the internet a while ago-
"I am am not perfect but I am Canadian and that is close enough."

I have written 20 critically acclaimed books (including some I've ghost-written) of which the most notable are likely Why Everybody Hates Toronto, and, Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental, and, Bushwhacked (on George Dubya Bush)

Welcome Michael- Thanks for joining us-

Was wondering, since you are obviously a writer have you written any books as of yet?
