Jacirez,
When I see Canadian tourists, they are the ones that are fat. Most of the women are fat with nasty tatoos all streched out! Also, you said that Americans are fat and lazy??? This does not make since. Americans are made of people from all contries and we work more hours than most contries... Get your facts in order...
