Oh we litigious people . . .

Americans have a reputation of being litigious, sue-happy people. I can't dispute that; theorhetically speaking it's a carry over in our culture from Puritanical influences. I'm not hear to rant and rave about the Puritans, though. While Americans do have this reputation, a friend of mine sent me the article linked below that proves not only Americans are sue-happy. Apparently Canada, that friendly neighbour to the north, has a growing streak of litigiousness. Take a read over the article and see for yourself:
