don't forget mike myers and anne murray!

I've been boycotting Anne Murray for 26 years, that will never change. Mike Myers is one of the funniest people on earth so he's safe from all boycotts. In fact, Mike has created a Canadian character for the upcoming "Austin Powers 4". His name is "Cheap Bastard".

LS,

I have to know, why have you been boycotting Anne M for 26 years?

Because I'm not 27 years old yet. I think it's got something to do with being trapped in a car as my mom sang along with her in front of my friends. Being 15 is awkward enough without having to go through that!

I like Anne Murray. And she was Elvis' favorite female singer.
Is she still living?

You wouldnt believe the shame and anger some (most) of us Canadians felt when we learned Canada wouldnt be sending ground troops in support of America in Iraq. America is our greatest friend and Americans are our brothers and I truly believe you stand by your friends no matter what, the same way they have always stood by us. Hats off to the Brits and the Aussies and all other allied forces who took part and the plague on those who protested against them. I considered signing up myself but I am now a little old, Im not bragging but they would probably have made me a field officer. Once again I truly wish Canada had taken part, one thing we Canadians are not is cowards.

And the way businesses are traded, a week from now you could reverse the list ! [I'll still do special orders on French knives for good friends/customers, and right now the French seem SOOOO grateful].

I rather carry a knife made by a blind Pakistani than buy something from those french pukes!
Screw 'em.
