Canadaump6, you'll probably try to jump all over me again, but I once again find it necessary to offer the advice, "read more, post less."

Take it as you will.

The remark was made half in jest. I know some good Canadian umpires...mostly from eastern Canada, though...and I know that some good recent grads from Evans' Academy are from Canada. As with any area there will be the good, the bad and the canadaump6.
