1. I love the Canadian national anthem.

I discovered, relatively recently, thru Ancestry.com, that most of my paternal grandmother's side of the family were born in Ontario, for at least 3 generations - her brother and sister, her parents, and their parents. Everyone but her - she was born in Michigan, in 1896. The probable explanation is that her family was temporarily in Michigan, harvesting crops.

I'm finding some comfort in this while the US is such a mess.

O Canada - will you take me in?

Son or daughter. Dual citizenship paperwork took the missus almost 2 years. This was 3 years ago. Now, it might take a bribe to tsf.

Bone spur boy better be careful. Canada has a reputation for fine fighting men.

They have been our best allies for a long damn time, and would make us pay dearly for every inch of ground, and they will never stop fighting.

The mango Mussolini better leave them alone

I spent 20 days in Dublin in the late 90s. Met a local guy there and hung out with him. Every one seemed nice to me, but my friend told me to say I was from Canada.
Living in Detroit I’d visit Windsor a lot, so thought I could get away with it, Man, what a difference that made. All at once every one there loved me. Every one wanted to buy me a drink.

welding soft power and you are indispensable. Bet you if you ever elect President Pete Buttigeig people around the world would not only buy you drinks but would hug you.

running for Governor of my state.

I’m a big fan of John Lennon song Imagine. Boarders are a false concept for me.
