I have never really been aware of much animosity between the US and Canada. In fact, I thought it was one of the countries we generally were at peace with, always.

As to the health system....I must have misunderstood something, somewhere. I was under the impression that the majority of Canadians favored the US's sort of health system over their own.....I am not being sarcastic...really, this is what I thought.

And as for annexation, I wasn't aware anyone really thought this would happen.....
