"spilled millions of dollars of cash and candy onto a Canadian highway."

Did I see some RC members back in the treeline with metal dedectors? Waiting for the police to leave?

in the US(maryland, I think an armored truck turned over spilling out bills.. total mayhem. police asked people to return the cash :lol: )in canada, 5 million in coins are spilled no opportunists. what does that say about our two cultures? One could say that americans are greedy pigs that will take all they can, while canadians are thoughtful and know right from wrong. All I know is from now on I am driving through canada in a MAGNETIC SUIT! and the next time a spill happens I am going to roll around in the road till I cant move,put the loony-toonies in my dump truck, and repeat the process!

As an American, that sounds about right.

The very short Canadian summers followed by the very long winters does an excellent job of sorting out the ants from the grasshoppers.
