It's a lifestyle change. I had friends move there from Sudbury (different direction and Sudbury is smaller, but it may be helpful). They say the social difference is the thing you have to work on most. You have to get involved with the clubs and groups. Because the winters are long, people tend to stay in their houses more and so, if you don't get involved, you feel cut off. The summer tourists also take a bit of getting used to. It's not as bad as some places. I moved from S. Ontario to Sudbury. I totally love it. Never going back. I endure the winter by traveling and (again) getting involved in the community. The summers make up for it. 330 lakes in the city. Not too hot. The "rush hour" is laughable compared to TO.

Syria also has sanctions, has less trade with the U.S. than Russia and is on the list.

Yeah, it's a no win. Either NATO becomes ineffective because it won't honour it's agreement or WW3 starts.

Kind of like Czechoslovakia in WW2.

I wonder where he got the batteries. Most discarded recyclable batteries are discarded because they no longer hold a charge.

Another interesting thing I noticed is that when traveling Americans are asked where they're from, they'll say their state rather than their country. I wonder why.

I wonder if they could refuse to put tariffs on. Not that it would make much difference. They're a small market. It would be more than just words on a paper.

I'm not sure they realize how different it is. I think even the Democrats would find it too liberal.

Yeah. I found that weird. I was there for a month last year. They seem to hold no animosity for the atomic bombs. Vietnam keeps the war memory fresh and many times, we made sure people knew we were Canadian because they do not like Americans.

Too bad. We could use a competitor to Tesla.

That's all the reason Trump would need to invade Canada.

It's so weird. They trash talk Quebec all the time and yet they want to be like them.

Or she wasn't allowed in the room but had to watch the meeting from a tv in her hotel.

Vive le Quebec. Go get 'em.

Why are libraries selling books? Is it possible somebody mistranslated the word librairie (meaning bookstore in French) as library?

Thanks. That's good advice.

Well, he united Canada as it's never been united before, inspired a wave of Canadian patriotism, caused the rest of the world to shower us with support, raised the Liberal Party from its death bed, and now he's helping to solve our health care problems. Trump is amazing. (tic)

But pay a lot less in insurance also. Plus a lot fewer lawsuit hassles.

Too bad. Trevor Noah's gig was unforgettable.
