Canadian football isn't seen much in the U.S. of A unless the TV 
networks are scrambling to fill content due to some sporting strike.  So 
maybe soon, as the baseball players are upset again, eh.

As for the 'I. Am. Canadian.' remark.  That comes from ads produced for 
Molson's brewing targeted at Canadian only audiences.  U.S. border towns 
can pick up the adds too through the air waves.  A very successful ad 
referred to as 'The Rant' got a few U.S. Americans upset. Well, 
according to a Portland Oregon newpaper.   It plays off the view 
Canadians have about the U.S. of A. and vise versa.  I suspect what 
really bugged the U.S. Americans was the suggestion that they do not 
live in the best country of the world.  Da!
