I've seen it mentioned on here. I suppose I might have met 1,000 Americans, some I worked with briefly, some I lived in a conjugal relationship with for years, I don't recall any of them ever speaking of West Edmonton in the manner they do New York or Paris but then, I suppose, I haven't often been to Montana.

There's no need for metric measures in Lowes because nothing in Canada is built in metric.

Well it's definitely an out west thing, but I've certainly spoken to various Americans while there and there are plenty of American licence plates on cars in the parking lot. I remember talking to a couple from Wyoming who were gushing on about how fantastic it was.

But then, I have been to a McDonald's in Wyoming.

Typical me...I dislike shopping so much that I never got through all of this thread, but when I was following the Canada Jimmy "bunfight" saga, I read the above a month after it was posted, and I wished I had said that!!

I "LOL'd"!

Should be every "shopaphobic" bloke's motto!
