Eat 50 of them.

10 years is a long time.

I have seen the Hockey Hall of Fame, I don't ever need to go back to Canada with their political atmosphere today.

Canada sucks.

The border is closed.

LMAO

That is what I originally typed but decided to be nice.

I've got ice at home- - - - -no need to go anywhere north of Kentucky!

[bleep] you 2 cucks !

How many toques you wearing to keep that noggin warm today Mate?

Canada in and of itself doesn't suck. The US should have annexed it centuries ago.

The politics up there? Well, that is another matter.

The politics there don't affect daily life a lot - the same as politics here. Canada has nice people, fabulous scenery, incredible fishing, and great food. Wife and I plan to go back in the near future.

Geno, no toques, the last coupla days !

Lows are at about -5*C only, currently -1*C !!!!!!

& no wind, so only light coat, too.

[bleep] global warming !

Oh Canada...Canada border cops have 4473 unique information given to them I presume by BATFE that BATFE should not have. And the Kanada Kops use it to the max.
My brother in law has a gold claim near Hyder AK, vehicle access is through Stewart BC, the Kanada Kops grilled him in an isolated room, tore his motorhome apart just before the covid lockdown looking for specific firearms they knew he had purchased in Arizona the previous year.
We live in a police state regardless where the map lines are drawn.

I hear-tell Canada is full of Hosers.

The US already burned Toronto to the ground once …
They can keep their McRibs - 🦊

Gee , guys, I have thought of buying land up in NW Ont. This way I can hunt bears and calf moose without a guide. Only bene there 4 times , but never had a problem. Now days , I dont think I want to risk buying land in a country that might tell me I cant enter till I get a shot . .. Still like it there.

I was in Canada summer of 49, not five years old.

No thinks

Aw, don't let 'em scare you. I fish every summer up in North Bay with my uncle-in-law, and the people are great. Probably a gazillion lakes within 1 1/2 - 2 hours from his house. Seems alot of the small town folks smoke though....still can't get used to that....

I know it's good , but I am not sure buying land would be a good idea. Does anyone here that live in the States own land in Canada? Wabbi?

Valsdad;
Good afternoon to you Geno, I hope you're all getting a wee bit of a reprieve in the cold as we are up here and that you're all well.

It might or conversely might not at all, surprise you to know that there were plans in the works following the US Civil War to do that.

The Secretary of State at the time William Seward was all for it, was likely if not aware, was involved in some of the planning and arming of the Fenians who did invade - a few times actually.

Here's the Wiki version.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenian_raids

All this was going on while there was a strong movement afoot in Britain called the "Little England" movement where some MPs and Lords were urging the Crown and Parliament to shrink the British Empire so that the sun could actually set.

In a couple of the Fenian engagements, they were turned back by armed civilian militia by the way, which of course flies in the face of all revisionist Canadian historians, but I digress.

There were a few reasons why it never happened actually and someday over a coffee I'd love to articulate why I believe that happened.

Again in the early 1870's, US whisky traders more or less invaded and took over what is now southern Alberta for a bit, but the then new NWMP shut them down promptly and in so doing actually earned the respect and to some degree allegiance of the Blackfoot Confederacy who were most affected by that whisky trade.

When the many gold rushes took place here in our part of BC, many if not most of the miners were American, but many were quite happy with the British judicial system in place here.

As one US rancher told a ranch hand who was also a US citizen, on the run from US law and hiding up here, "You'd better behave because up here, you only get one chance and they'll hang you for what you've done down there".

This chap didn't take the advice however Geno, killed a fellow cowboy on the ranch north of me near Kamloops, escaped into the states but made the mistake of bringing a herd of horses up to the coast for auction, where he was picked up in a bar by a BC Provincial Policeman, faced trial and as his boss predicted, was hung in the yard at the New West pen.

Anyways that little story to illustrate there were always similarities, but always subtle and not so subtle differences too.

We're not perfect by a long shot and I suspect that anyone who's ready anything I've ever typed knows I'm not pleased with our current political situation.

That said though Geno, I'm betting you're not any more thrilled with the Potomac Elite than I am with our Laurentian Elite who both want total control of our every move.

All the best to you all this weekend sir.
