I would hope not. The few Canucks I know actually have something of a sense of humor. They're not comedians, mind you, but they can laugh at a good joke. And there is a HUGE difference between having laws, and having pointless and inane laws. Unfortunately, this is a lesson lawmakers the word over have refused to learn. "I do not think this word means what you think it to mean." Either that, or this must be some strange use of "jealous" that I was previously unaware of. (You fail your spelling test, btw.) I can see the conversations now..."gee, those lucky Americans, they have hours of gridlock and ridiculously overbearing laws regarding their vehicles or being able to build on property that has been in their family since the 1920s. They are so lucky. I wish I couldn't build a house on land given to me by my grandfather!" or "Those spoiled Americans, thinking their government really is responsible for safeguarding their rights and silly things like their 'Constitution'. Pfft. I'm glad I'm not American." But hey, maybe I'm just bitter from dealing with the government here in California (not Canada, for those keeping score -- it's part of the Continental US, just below Oregon and just to the west of Arizona and Nevada).
