there are alot of reason why i became an American citizen, but like you said I don't want to start an USA vs. CAN argument. I will say that I am very proud to be here for the past 20+ years. I will never go back to CAN, can't stand liberals and gun control
One of my past GFs who lives and works here in Ohio, was from Toronto where I was from and she ripped on the US about every day-complete hypocrite, even went to University here. Then one day I told her to STFU and left her
Best wishes on your adoption!
