Maybe we could intrest him in a nice dogsled or perhaps an igloo to store it in. I think it's great that an american muscle icon comes from canada....literally 5 blocks from my house....but who decided to have it built here....i do believe the final verdict was made in america

Anywho....us up here in canada will be sure to say hello to cousin steve in moose jaw for ya

I'd advise a review of the policy regarding political discussions.

BTW... how many on the board are fed up with the caribou this summer. The other night on the way over I had to wait 15 minutes for them to cross the intersection by my place. Now I got caribou shit all over my car.

Damn I hate caribou season. I am glad the ice packs are starting to melt in Toronto harbour. Those seals are loud at night

yeah, the wolves go after the caribou. i've had to add solid ice to my igloo to keep 'em out.
Plus of course they hate us for stealing all their u's so that we could spell bigger words.

Was GM saying American can't build a quality vehicle?
The Camaro was awarded to the Oshawa plant because..... it is the Highest quality lowest cost plant in NA. End of story. No politics, just good business.

Ummm... the Google images you speak of are probably from 2 years ago. From when the plant was under construction.



And to those of you who would like us (Canada) to be the 51st state.......You have it backwards, you (the US) should be the 4th Territory! to go along with out 10 Provinces.
