Thanks for the holiday shout out....This holiday reminds me of my family's ties to the US auto industry, the long hours on the assembly line...the celebration of the contributions of the American and Canadian labour movement is a fitting way to begin the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.

I worked and lived in India for 10 years, so I got used to all of the British ways of spelling things and quite a bit of British word differences. I even learned how to drive on the left side of the road (please notice that I didn't do what most Americans do and say the wrong side of the road).
