BTW, Laurie, I don't suspect you in the least of being a racist.

The reason I asked that question is because
too many Canadians shy away from such
a controversial question or possibility.
I wonder if you've seen other Canadians,
as I have, respond with what I call
unfavorable coy responses or body language
when the topic comes up or when they cross
paths with a native.
