Oh, no, Judith!  Canadians aren't forgotten in the worldwide picture.
The world just thinks Canada's the "Upper USA!" <grinning & ducking>

And that other place ya mentioned - "Australia?"  Where's that?
<giggling and running like hell>

Just kidding folks!  Our List-family wouldn't be dynamic without our
wonderful Canadian and Aussie members....

Thanks Andy and Peter, who posted earlier. Sometimes I feel the
smaller
countries like Canada and Australia are forgotten when the worldwide
