I. Am. Canadian.

True story: once I had an e-mail exchange with a well-known freight car expert who was North of the Border. We were discussing a particular type of insulated car that also had a heater to keep the contents within a certain temperature range, and one question was what kind of cargo had to be hauled that way. I suggested beer. The guy got REALLY irritated with me, because he felt it implied that there were places in Canada that actually needed to have beer hauled in by the boxcar load! Sounds like these guys at least didn't have a problem with that. . .
(I won't go into the couple from Ontario who were utterly scandalized by the floor show they saw in Vegas. . .)

So OK, I knew this couple visting from Ontario, who stopped off in Vegas on their way to LA. They went to a floor show -- the ads on TV, of course, have the ladies dancing in halter tops, but the in the actual show, they aren't wearing those. I guess they'd gone in expecting the halter tops to be there. Anyhow, when I see the couple, their eyes are still bugged out. They've never seen anything like it -- they don't know what to do. "We would NEVER have anything remotely like this anywhere in Canada," they said, voices still shaking. Well, I've never patronized such places, but I understand you can see strip shows across the river from Detroit in Windsor, and elsewhere, and from what I understood, you could get Vegas-style shows in Dawson, YT (assuming you can get to Dawson). So I just suggested, "Well, you know, from what I understand, Dawson is something like Vegas. . ."
"Oh, no," they answered. "The Mounties would never permit it."

I have it on good authority that if Vegas had their eyes bugging, any lounge in Ontario where the "artistes" strut their stuff would have them blind and earless, too. I forget who it was that told me about the situation......

Detroit is much tamer than cross border clubs from anyone I've ever talked to . There's a place in town here that used to feature male strippers for years and years and the Detroit area ladies would cross the border in huge numbers to check it out , especially when the exchange rate on money favoured the U.S $$ . Not any more ...the club or the exchange rate .
