Another shot to send to the celebrities. We'll tell them this one was taken in southern Ontario, in July ! During a mild spell. Deleted. May be copyright infringement.

He continues to hang on, much like a bad smell, from and overflowing outside toilet. All the contenders seem to be trying to distance themselves from him and his policies, but too many of us remember and shout out: :BUT YOU WERE THERE AND SUPPORTED THE IDIOCY!

Doesn't always work that way. Thieves at my son's store keep meet the little "Loss Prevention Officer" the manager hired. I've seen video of him holding down people quite a bit larger than he, but I guess he's had some training. Oh, and his store prosecutes and gives out trespass notices. Losses have been going down steadily since last fall when the new manager took over. Funny how that works.

Skagway tour guides will regale their customers with tales of Soapy's scams. I liked the one about the "telegraph" service he provided, with wires that led no where, but could send and receive messages for the lonesome miners!! Frank Reid's tombstone reads: "He Gave His Life For the Honor of Skagway"

Ontario is one of the provinces that would add to the economic growth and be an asset. One draw back in any possible amalgamation is the social programs Canadians have invested in and rely on. For example, we don't have your 401K (Which I know zero about) but we do have the federally administered Old Age Suppuration (OAS) and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) in addition to whatever Retirement plans our employers may have had. We also have a personal, voluntary, Registered Retirement Saving Plans (RRSPs) and Tax Free Saving Accounts (TFSAs) with set amounts we can contribute to annually.

Just happy no one was in it.

Pard in Saskatchewan called me last night and chastised me for neglecting to post their flag. OK Ron, here it is!

It's really improved since then. You now get free needles and a place to shoot up, with medical staff standing by, in case you O.D.. You can $**t on the street and all sort of neat things. They had a foretaste of your fires south of BC, and the Banff/Jasper National Park wildfires that took out a portion of the City of Jasper, but apparently no one took note or thought it couldn't happen there. Something about forest debris left to become tinder, if I recall. It was discovered alleged, that a few of the fires were "Caused by humans." and there was some interesting drone videos on line for a while.

BC = The Canadian version of California. Many, Many strange things and goings on. Most of us appreciate the Rockies keeping them near the coast.

OK ALPO! My head is spinning. Clarify the relationship for us.

Well, when you consider the distance between Hawaii, Guam and the US mainland, it's not that much of a strrreeetttccchhh!

Just thinking out loud: Perhaps not as ridiculous as it sounds on first hearing it. Many of our smart, educated, professional young men and women have left for the USA for better careers and lifestyle. The children of four families, in my circle, have taken this step, settling in a number of states and are doing very well. Three of their children were educated in the USA, two with full ride scholarships. The others were recruited by the parent companies they were working for and transferred to the US. They have married in the US, are raising families and all are doing well. In one instance, the parents are considering moving to the US to be closer to their son, daughter and grand-children all living in the US. Alberta and Saskatchewan would likely be among the first to avail themselves of the Provisions of The Clarity Act, as handed down by the Supreme Court of Canada, S.C. 2000, C.26 A quick referendum and a 51% vote in favour would trigger the process. Many of their ties, financial and family, tend to run North/South rather than East/West. An error made is thinking the entire country would become the 51st state. It's too large. Alberta's population alone is around 4.8 million, while Saskatchewan's is about 1.2 million They and Ontario are the largest wealth producers. Here is the Flag of Alberta: It could be kept without change IMHO.
