Apparently Canadian immigration offices are being flooded with Americans fleeing political oppression down there. Well, I guess that's the way they see it. Obviously our political environment is more conducive to many.



Anyway, here is the new proposed political division of North America, after the current US becomes a right wing theocracy. Corky, you will be pleased to see San Diego has been included in the new land of the free.

Stake me out a spot along Lake Louise. I would prefer a spot with a southern view. If I ring you up. Could you have someone run over and draw the tub water?

You know I love you. But we have drawn apart. I have found a new love at marryanamerican.ca.

I wish the best for you.

The little Canuch and I would hope that you could attend the ceremony.

Snowshoes and galoshes.

Over and out.

Till we meet again.

This story about the website was on Canada A.M. this morning. I laughed when I saw it and thought of the post Paul had made yesterday.
I was one of the 14,000 after Paul made the post. The responses were quite funny from some of the Canadians. We are known for our sense of humour! :laugh:

I'm not so sure I like being on the receiving end of all this Canadian humor. I'm usually of the giving nature. Here's an excerpt from my journal of my last trip up north:

We did make it into Canada, though, and I got to practice my Canadianian on the natives. I had taken intensive lessons for six weeks, and was anxious to use my newfound linguistic skills as I got off the ferry in Victoria, over on Vancouver Island.

As fate would have it, we caught the bus for the gardens, where there wasn't anybody to talk to except for 600 Japanese tourists and a wonderful old guy and his wife from England. He gave Kit a peice of hard candy, and we tried to communicate a little. Of course, he only spoke "English", but since that language evolved using many of the same words that Texian uses, we managed with a lot of smiling and head nodding.

Later, when we had returned to the city, I spotted an eatery with native Canadian quisine, and as we lingered over plates heaped with manicotti (named for the Manicott Indian tribe, no doubt), I decided to try my favorite Canadianian phrase on our waitress. Well, actually, it was my only Canadianian phrase, but I had been assured by the course's instructor that it was almost universal in nature and would fit in any occasion in that great frozen wasteland. I straightened up my feedstore gimme hat, and gave the fortunate young lady one of them good-ole-boy grins that I'm famous for, and said,

"So, that's a bear, eh?"

She was obviously so stunned by my grin, and by the perfection of my practiced inflection, that she just stood frozen for a second. Then, she roused herself, and returning my smile tenfold, she replied,

"You're from Texas, aren't you?"

Well, bein's as she spoke almost perfect Texian, from watching TV shows like "Rawhide" and "Gunsmoke", no doubt, we became friends by the time she brought the spumoni, which is actually just ice cream named for the great spumoni whales that inhabit those waters.

I had other adventures, as well, but just haven't made them up, er.. I mean just haven't written them up yet.

In case you may be interested in using your linguistic skills. I forwarded your correspondence to the Four Bears casino in Minot N. Dakota.. They may not need your Japanese skills. But they do get a bus load of them Canucks on occasion.

Can you say Black Jack, in Canuchanese. ..
