    If Canada had their own Grand Slam Tennis Tounament, perhaps the accent would be my favorite?

    Why is it that Americans don't really know a lot about us? Isn't French mostly spoken in Quebec and in New Brunswick? Here, we all take French in school, but it is not spoken.

    Grand Slam? The Rogers Cup is the closest thing we have unfortunately. Guess we'll always be 2nd best in your book....

    DIdn't you know the Rogers Cup is on my bucket list? Probably cheaper than going to the US Open....well before I knew you it was cheaper.....the extra dinner, drinks, and tix for you....? I am guessing you are closer to the Women's tournament vs the mens?

    And would a quick apology suffice? Do you know that each of my trips to Canada have included speaking French seeing how Montreal is my usual getaway?

    Is it me or do Canadians have more of a British like grasp on sarcastic humour than the majority of Americans?

    Shouldn't you do this? And don't they alternate each year between Toronto and Montreal for the men's? I am only 2 hrs.SW of Toronto. Aren't you nice to think of taking me???

    I'd have to agree with this, but have also met some equally awesome Americans in my time too.
    Is it strange that France is only 26 miles from the UK, yet the majority of typical Brits don't speak the language at all?

    I was remembering the women are in Toronto this year. Do you have a preference...watching the women or the men this year?

    But the water that separates the two countries makes it difficult to hear across, doesn't it?
