Smart Americans moving to Canada

    Hey, give me some Rush and Triumph, a 20-pack of Timbits, a double-double (with Splenda), a Coffee Crisp and I'm a happy Yank.
    Love that Canadian flavour.

    I wonder if Canada would be such a nirvana if America didn't have her back.

    And how are those beaches in Canada? Outside of a six-week window in July and August.

    It says something when people can only be proud or happy with their country when the prevailing politics line up with their own. I voted for Clinton a grand total of zero times, but at no point was I ever ashamed to call myself an American.

    Ask what your country can do for you, I guess.

    But I've never been to Canada and always wanted to go.

    Note to Canada: You can have all our labor organizers. Take 'em. Free of charge. You'll receive a thank-you note when the job is done.

    Beaches are fine--just like the ones in Cape Cod, the Hamptons or I don't know, Michigan and Minnesota that are good for 8 weeks of the year.

    Hondo probably came up here one summer and brought his cross country skis.

    Thanks for your offer, but we have enough of them here.

    Mystery, you should come to Halifax. It is party central...well it's also beaufitul too.

    Indeed, when I have visited Spain, Germany, Monaco, Italy, France, Holland and Scotland (ha!), I and my wife have been known to launch blistering verbal assaults against those who dare not to speak to us in our native language. We're just terrible, terrible people, and we do what we can to make those we visit feel horrible for not understanding our words.
    Just like HB says.

    That probably would be the part I'd most want to visit (that or Toronto). It's got to be better than the Halifax in Virginia, though. But then a cup of shotgun mouthwash would be better than that Halifax.

    Beaches are fne - when they're open and not closed due to pollution.

    It is ten times better. Don't get me started about the people in Toronto. JR knows what I am talking about. :)

    Just remember that Toronto has your back.

    If it weren't for us, you'd all be out on dinghies jigging for cod. :)
