The problem is he may not want to come home. You send us actors, we give you writers.


And Techsupport centers, so they can be "Right shored" instead of Offshored.

PS: I didn't vote "No." Someone else did that.

I did.     It can't be a real poll without a loyal opposition and all.

True so many people come to visit and stay but all our singers seem to go to the US and leave us :(

It still would be cool if he would come travelling to the US is not easy for alot of Canadians (passport office is slow and costly)

You can have Shania and Celine back
No really.
You totally can.

Although I want Garou :)

I voted yes, because he's never coming to Pennsylvania anyways.. so someone else might as well enjoy.

He can visit only if you give us all your poutine. Might consider letting him stay for a week or two if you keep us in a steady supply of it Montreal-style, with the smoked meat.

Svb beat me to the Celine comment.

"near....far.....near....far...." I believe we saw that on Sesame Street.

Even "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" was better in the original Pandora's Box.

Well the other reason I'm sending Celine back.

She's an /amazing/ French Singer.  It's only her English stuff that sucks.

Sorry guys you can keep Celine, she's definitely better suited to singing down there. That and she can't skate.

You can only come to Canada if you come to Calgary, some people do exist west of Toronto after all :D

Jim
Please come up to Canada!

There's loads of places in Montreal you'd love to see, besides letting your ever growing fan base to gather together to fawn and awe over you.  ;)

My husband says "Ditto!"

take care everyone!

Yes, but that's assuming we actually want them back, I think soem of us (myself not included) would like Shania back, but the general concensus of Canadians on Celine is that you can keep her.

But can we please borrow Jim for a bit, we promise we'll give him back.
