If they do have teeth, they only have teeth as a result of legislation. Pre-legislation they had the same amount of teeth as their equivalents in Canada.

I do accept that Canadians are far more accepting of things that Brits would be outraged about, and are outraged at things that Brits would simply accept. Horses for courses and all that.

It's funny, even though I know all this to be pretty accurate about Canada, I'd still rather be here. Good thing too I suppose, as I couldn't afford to go back if I wanted to � ��
