I ran into a great blonde in the Toronto airport terminal who was a
Mountie. Told her didn't look much like Sergeant Preston to me and
asked her where her horse was. She asked me when I was going back
where I came from.

Heh - I can picture that! Bet she never heard that one before..... :0

Seriously, though, in downtown Toronto in the 70s, I frequently had
tourists stop me and ask where they could see an igloo (2,500 miles
north would be a great place to start!) and where all of the trees
were (!).

Doesn't seem to happen much anymore - maybe the Internet fixed that!.

Blame the motion picture business. All the trees and igloos got
moved to Vancouver where a "new Hollywood" is growing. :-)

Actually, the motion picture business in Toronto has been booming for
quite a few years now as well - still no igloos, but there seems to be
a shoot going on just about every day downtown (last week, I saw a
fake NYPD police car in front of the Royal York Hotel, and about 12
trailers parked along the street....even saw a US flag flying on the
flagpole of the old Toronto City Hall during one shoot - that was a
double-take moment...)

Or, all the trees were stolen by the western Washington state
folks and planted all over Puget Sound area. Folks in eastern
Washington state were too honest and that's why that part of
the state seems like open prarie... :-)

Or, blame the "space aliens" who got out of Area 51 and went up
to Vancouver to work in the Stargate and Atlantis productions. :-)

Hmmm...maybe if Kelly had purchased some Viagra from Canada
he could have made out better with Amanda Tapping? :-)

Hey - that girl could put Viagra out of business!
