U.S. is the only country (until now) that was allowed to export eggs to Canada. It doesn't really say if they actually ever sent us any amount. I'm guessing that before the egg crisis down south, they sent them to Vancouver or places with no egg farmers near.

Sorry. I have trouble remembering all the Spanish names for citizens of countries.

Oops. Thanks.

Yeah, I was surprised about Portugal. I think Argentina is still getting a lot of Venezualanos.

My wife, the one lying on the stump, is 5' 3" if that helps.

Oh, cool. Thanks. I imagine it took some manipulation to fell it and move it.

I remember that tree. The sign wasn't so pretty back when I went.

My wife.

Hey yeah, Australia. Let's get together. Bring UK and New Zealand. It'll be fun. We'll call it the Justice League. Canada

The most common method is to declare yourself president for life.

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.

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.
