You want cold, go to a beach on the east coast. You'll get hypothermia.

I have a feeling that if the worse happens and Shrub is re-appointed pres in November, that quite a few Americans will be coming to Canada-well, more like relocating to Canada. . . . . .

Have you ever Canadian Bacon? Michael Moore directed it and it stars John Candy, Rhea Perlman, and Alan Alda as the President who creates a fake war with Canada to get higher approval ratings.

My favorite scene was where Candy and Perlman rowed over to Canada late one night in a rowboat from Niagara Falls and dumped all their trash.

Why thank you

I had plans for Vancouver this month but had to cancel. Perhaps next year.

I'm about 25 miles west of Toronto and about 10 miles north of Mississauga.

Where I live in Canada, it is not cold. Our lakes are very warm.
We often have temps over 105 F in the summer.
I live in southern BC. We have rattle snakes and black widows.
Can you believe it, I don't even live in a igloo.

I've always wanted to visit Canada, but first off, I want to see the States. All of 'em. So many people want to trave abroad (not like Canada is that far) but in my opinion, there is so much to see and do here at home. I would absolutley love to see wilderness in the northern part, because we really don't have open space like that here.

I had planned on going to either McGill or the University of Toronto and made a massive mistake in not going to either.

But Curtis, you could just come here and marry me.....oh hang on. I see what you mean, that doesn't particularly aid the situation. Maybe you could marry Joe....?

Talking I will!

Actually, I had a planned trip to Vancouver/Washington back in 2000, but something bad happened and we didn't go. It's still on our roster tho, probably within the next couple of years, I'll be makin' my way up there.
