[Am-info] RU a Canadian EH?

[Mike Stephen]

Since some of you made us all suffer through the US elections, I thought I would bring to your attention that it 
has been discovered that there are more Canadians living in the los Angeles area than there are in Vancouver. 

Here is how you can spot them.  If while reading this, you see a large smile of recognition, you will have "outdo 
another one of them dammed farina".

Actual truth:  One in 15 average people walking about in the LA area is a Canadian.
