    Okay, Canada! We get it! You guys rock! Next time we want some space magnesium, we'll know where to look. In the meantime, keep planting those trees.

    Ya, being Canadian means we might be better than our American neighbours when it comes to nuclear astrophysics, but when it comes to satellite TV, you guys kick ASS! (GO DTV!!!) :)
