You can lear [sic] (Hi, Stan!) a lot by reading…

“This is the dynamic the economist Albert Hirschman warned about: That loyalty is what turns frustration into voice—the impulse to fix what is broken rather than flee. Today, exit is cheap and reversible. When taxes rise or services disappoint, the response is no longer to press for reform but to move.”

Sorry, Rhoads, I already got my immigrant. One is enough:



“Give us your best, your educated, your brightest, your hottest”……

Something like that. I don’t remember. Statue of Liberty speak.

I do remember the pasty skinned maggot of a government perfunctory, with a bad comb over, telling me she was my problem at her immigration hearing, and there would be no assistance, medical or otherwise, and even if she ran off with the local Tren de Aragua branch, I was responsible for demonstrating she had health insurance, a roof over her head, and three squares a day, and if she got so much as a parking ticket to expect her to be deported.

She took to American life like a baby duck to water. The notion of going out and actually hunting what you are going to eat is ‘kinda weird to her (city girl) but, she plays along:



‘Gotta love a girl with a 16 gauge double on her arm.



Best,
Ted

You know, Alberta isn’t all that happy with the notion of Canada. James might be just fine, there.

Don’t apologize to me. Wee Jimmy is the one in a pickle.


Nation building is somewhat more difficult than putting gas in a snowblower….

Besides, Alberta doesn’t have a hockey club that will make it to the Stanley Cup either. What a tire fire in Toronto, eh Jimmy.

Alberta literally doesn’t have to do anything, besides quit communicating and cooperating with Ottawa. The Nation is built. An aircraft carrier parked off the coast wouldn’t help much (as if) and, besides, most of Ottawa’s Jeeps won’t start until spring, anyway.

If then.

Best,
Ted

Once curling season begins, they’ll forget what they were arguing ‘aboot.

Sounds good in theory. Be interesting to see how it works in practice.

Anyone interested/considering joining James’s freeloading failed state it opened up to millions more people.

Wings on the bubble of making the playoffs after their usual March swoon. Not going to be happy if the Jets get in and the Wings don’t.

You say that like it’s a good thing.

Now, if James were open to seeking refuge here, I’d be up for that.

Best,

But, it ends with him. Next thing you know there’d be a petition going around to build a Tim Horton’s.

I was in the UP near Marquette this past weekend and saw more than a couple Tim’s on my way through Michigan. Didn’t stop as I was too full from the pasties! 🤣

“I’m going.” canvasback (in The Southern thread)

Bring your clubs.

Looks like they have some nice travel packages. Maybe some of the Jets can join you.
