Geez, you sure go out of your way.
Your right it was the individual that had the bear named Winnie who's house that is here. But there are stories that he inspired Milnes to write. And the original copies which are signed by Milnes to Christopher Robinson are currently in the Poohseum here. I don't know the whole story, it is on the local net but they want money to down load it. Go to one of the Pooh sites and the answer of how Winnie got his name does not even come close to the truth. Disney pretty well took over the aspect of Winnie, anyways.
I didn't want to get in to a pissing match, I found your response a little rude. Whatever! I do realize I was a little vague. I'm just trying to point out that we as neighbors share a lot more than some people realize.
When it comes to anything that is written by a third party the facts have to be questioned. Media is the same way. I just don't understand how some people can show their anger towards Canadians with out knowing the truth, not to mention that most the people here support our neighbors. I'm just sick of all this Canadian bashing! And to say that Canada has never given anything or helped the U.S. is not fair.
A friend of mine spent 6 months in Afghanistan with the war against terrorism. He told me that the Canadian snipers had the most kills out of any other troops there. I have no idea if this is true or not but I believe him. He said the Canadian troops were well respected. My friend has never said an ill word against the American military, he has nothing but praise for them. Why am I saying this? Because, even though we don't have a big army we still showed our support. There were comments made by Americans that the Canadian Army is useless and that the U.S. doesn't need them! So to me, I see people criticizing us when we tried to help and when we don't. But I do realize that those are people that like to bitch for the sole purpose of bitching.
When 9/11 happened, local fire fighters, police, red cross went to show their support. We helped raise money for the relatives of that tragic event. Yes I realize it was Canadian money and not worth much. American flags were flown to show our support. Cars drove down the streets with American flags flying out their windows to show support. Do not condemn Canadians for the actions of our Government. As mentioned before Quebec gets all the money and the rest of the West pretty well gets none.
I am just fed up with the comments about Canada that some people are making, especially to the Canadian people on this board that support the U.S. Can't we all just get along with out name calling and blaming? That is all I ask! Good Night.
