>Its OK Pam, don't feel bad, I was just left shaking my head at the amuzing bi-lateral copyrights laws that prevent a Canadian taxpayer, who funded the movie in the first place, from downloading it for free off an American site, back to Canada.... What a world we live in :-)

On the other hand, I vaguely remember that plot story.
I think I saw it on TV a while back.

Incidently, I can relate to some of the story.
In the early 70s, I was working at a TV repair shop in Montréal, and that is where I learned English, cause you see, my shop foreman did not spoke a word of French, being an American draft dodger.
Or like he used to say, he was posted to Canada during the Vietnam war...go figure :-)

Every day for noon, we had to have at least one working colour TV set in order to watch Happy Days. If that set happenned to be due out that day, it would have to wait until after the show..

Bob, who was once arrested, and released, near the US border for having short hair and wearing dog tags. Checking if I was a deserter I guess. Ah those were the days..:-)
