Jake,

Why has Canada been left out of this big list of LEGO store openings?!?!
Not to ignore other countries, but Canada actually had a LEGO S@H until a
couple years ago, and it's bad enough we have to go through the US for that.

place with the most people (Toronto) or the most tourist visits (Toronto)* where
would you pick?  :)

According to your stats, we beat your tourism on a per capita basis. :-) Do not

Montreal.

Actually, I do not want to argue that LEGO do something here instead of there. I
just want LEGO to do something for Canada. We seem to get missed a lot now that
we don't have our own S@H.
