Too late.  We're flat out digging them up and shipping them to China.

The good thing about (or is that 'aboot'?) O Canada is that it's easier to sing than The Star-Mangled Spanner. What was Francis Scott so Keyed up about anyway? The Brits were just holding a fireworks display!  :grin:

Oh, and in colonial terms, Oztralya is Canada's little brother - and just about as annoying sometimes! But like most siblings, we eventually get along (till they sneak into our room and steal our rocks!).

Phew - I thought that I was going to be embarrassed again by people from the old British Empire nicking other peoples rocks, sticking them in the British Museum for eternity

You can't blame us for this one  :wink:

There has been good rock from Canada. Neil Young, Bryan Adams, Gordon Lightfoot, Randy Bachman, etc.
Notice I didn't include Bieber  :rolleyes:

when thinking about a supercontinent, the earth must've been rotating like an unbalanced tire.  Shaking the continent into pieces to correct the wobble.

The west coast of Canada used to be American rocks, too.  All those islands came up from California.

Canada has a history of being open to those seeking refuge, even when they come from the US....
