You know what's funny? I never talk politics to other people unless they bring it up. Seems like everytime I have been up there, I get more cowboy in-your-face from them, than most people down here. Cracks me up.
The same goes with any politics, no matter what your views are. I've been overseas a bit, especially Asia. Trust me, I know better.
Canadian beef? Mad Cow? BAH!!! Give me some grain fed steaks anytime. Fire up the grill. Been there, done that. YUM!!!
