 This is not an appropriate forum to get into that sort of thing, so let's 
 just say that we don't think that a US dominated system would properly 
 reflect the subtle variations of our climate, while the USDA has no mandate 
 to do, or interest in that aspect of Canada's agriculture or gardening 
 industry. >>

Geez, Bob, we have subtle variations, too.  I was thinking that we garden 
right through the Northeast, where I am familiar, into Canada non-stop and we 
might cooperate on something horticultural.

I am up there at least once and sometimes twice a year and the zone tags 
always confuse me.  However, for those not near the border, I will have to 
say to Bob and all the other Canadians on list that we are aware that 
Canadians do regard us, at times,  as a giant enveloping individual 
attempting to swallow up Canada or sometimes treat you as a little brother.  

 I know this is resented and I hope we do not appear that way on this list.
