As quoted from <2028@looking.UUCP> by brad@looking.UUCP (Brad Templeton):
+---------------
| And why do people in Cleveland keep talking about a "north coast," anyway?
| Kinda insulting, like they're saying Canada isn't even there.  Cleveland
| is on the south shore of Lake Erie, if they hadn't noticed.

Brad, when Canada petitions to become the 51'st state, you can then claim
Hudson Bay to be the North Coast of the United States.  (Yes, I know, the
quote is "the North Coast of America", but then all United States residents
seem to have the idea that America is the U.S.A and doesn't include Canada
or Mexico.  That bit of {ethno|ego}centrism isn't limited to Cleveland.)
