I know they like Georges, it's not that they don't like me but I don't know. He might be more of a better poster boy. Who knows? ? just put the little Italian guy in Canada. That's me. I like it, I like it, man. I take no offence at people in Canada yelling for me to die." For more on that article, click here.
