I knew I was taking the risk of offending somebody with that one, but thought the reference would be so obvious to this crowd that that nobody would get too bent out of shape.
Apologies to anyone who was actually offended, and yeah Gary, I'd definitely take you up on beer offered, and of course, reciprocate.
We've just got to get this damned border open! :FIREdevil ;)
I'd rather see politicians from a science, engineering, healthcare, accounting, business, and military than a socialist bartender or drama teacher. Usually we just get lawyers in the US. The Chinese elect a have a lot engineers in government leadership.
Yeah mate, I hear you. My best buddy up here owns a fancy-ish wilderness lodge and does tours in a grizzly bear sanctuary. Needless to say business has not been good the last 1.5 years. Also, I'm booking a flight to JH in the next few hours, so they better open the fucking thing by January or Justin's going to hear from me damn it.Quote:

That just doesn't happen in Canada and it was reminiscent to me of a second fucking Bush getting in. The election of both of these "sons" smelt of banana republic to me.Quote:

Justin's a puppet and the only reason "we" have vaccines in Canada is because the US rammed through whatever was needed to big pharma to get them developed. Giving him credit for anything other than legalizing pot is giving him too much. I've got enough friends to ski with I don't need to ski with a politician (or snowboard with him as the case may be).Quote:

I was the one that had to help that person navigate that system."[25] Ocasio-Cortez graduated cum laude[26] from Boston University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both international relations and economics."
Maybe if there were more people in Congress with backgrounds like that there would be fewer people with backgrounds like that working as bartenders. And she's no socialist, no matter what she calls herself.
^ Thanks for that bio. I'd forgotten that Republicans also found some issue with the fact that she went by "Sandy," too. :)
I bought a season pass for Aspen when it was $549US and plan on spending 5 weeks gypsy-ing around the Roaring Fork Valley in my truck camper, so you are damn right that border better be open by 2022.Quote:

I don't even mind Trudeau getting elected based on his famous father, I just wish Justin had inherited at least some of his father's intellect.
This is from an outside observer, so grain of salt, but having suffered under a president with neither intellect nor compassion, if I had to choose one, I'd choose the latter.
is any American really an outside observer when the last pres has indirectly-ish killed 600,000 americans?
which is also the main reason the border is still closed
I meant an outside observer of Trudeau's performance as PM.
I was very much a blow by blow observer of how we got fucked over by a grifter, and his idiot offspring.
well JT ain't all that but i will take him in a heart beat over the rest especialy your lapsed president
all 31 pages can be condensed into > 600,000 dead, i still can't believe the lazzez fair attitude towards all them dead Americans
still less damage done on JT's watch than the rest
edit: in any case this wasnt so much about Trudeau cuz Canada had real epidemiologists they listened to while you had trump
The New York Times is on it!

I'm curious, can Canadians travel to France, Spain, and Greece right now? If so, do Canadians still have to quarantine upon return. I get it that Canadians delight in pissing off Americans, but I thought their love of international travel would overcome this.
They can, but have to quarantine when returning, although the quarantine order will be lifted on 7/5 for those who are vaccinated.Quote:
