Yeah the show is not on BBC America...yet. I actually feel fairly confident it will be. I mean that is a show the entire world can watch. I absolutely love it.

don't forget free health care, not taxes in alberta, and a smart person in charge of the country :D, not some one from texas who owned a baseball team and highered more mexicans to sell tacos and nachoes so he will make more money for himself, and don't forget the comidians, inventors, o and Gilles Villeneuve the BEST DRIVER EVER FROM NORTH AMERICA never has there been a better driver form the USA, and we have poutine lots and lots of poutine

Yeah but your Health Care sucks and there are many states without property taxes and some without sales taxes. Bush's decisions can be overthrown by the House and Senate, We have some pretty fuckin hilarious comedians from here and we had those inventors that did like the moving picture, Lightbulb, Television, Telephone, Radio, Wireless Communication, Electricity, Assembly Line, Space travel (With the help of some Germans) Not the first satelite I know that was the Ruskies, Cable television, The greatest sport known to man American Football not that Canadian shit with the messed up rules and different number of players and what not. Need I go on?
Oh and I don't give a shit about a driver.

if ur cable/satellite has BBC World, u can watch Top Gear (strip down 1/2 hr international version) on that channel, but not now during the off-season
they usually won't broadcast the latest one (probably will have 3 weeks to 1 month of delay) and i'm not sure if they will broadcast top gear again on BBC World next season.

telephone was canadian (bell), the american/italians says he invented the phone, but did not build it so he did not "invent" it (kinda changed the rules on that one no),
you can't invent electricity,
Space travel - no help by the US, all german POW's (just US money
Nikola Tesla - invented the radio
i will give you some like the lightbulb, but they didn't invent the modern light bulb, they invented a light bulb that would kill you, they were only used as street lights,
Morse (wireless communication) worked off of ideas first thought by Bell
and the CFL has 100 history NFL can't say that, and they didn't invent it they innovated on ruby,
What is this, are we at war ?

No it was a joke to start and Nikola Tesla lived in America and US money controling Germans makes it American and it doesn't matter where you get the idea from it's still from here. and the NFL is the original it was the Bears and the packers(who suck ass) a very long time ago, If you watch rugby and you watch football they are very different.
This shit is too far off topic from Top Gear so I don't care anymore.

I'm good I just play insanely high hands of Poker with the friends and I don't drink too often but if I want to there's enough in our wet bar and my friends are the same, I've been to a strip club and wasn't too impressed. I don't need a place to stay if I were to go I can afford a nice Hotel if there are any.
