...my maternal grandmother was born in Ontario and as a child I visited relatives around Toronto. Canada was always viewed as a nextdoor neighbor that was a bit different in a good way.
Have I told you my experience of being on a plane once and was seated by an extremely polite young man? It was strange, it was as if he had come from the past and was surrounded by all the rough, rude people around him. He told me he was meeting up with a childhood friend in Orlando who had "discovered" him by chance, on the internet. Later, he said he needed to pass by, to get "out" of the row of seats. When he said that one word "OUT", I knew it then, he was Canadian! When he returned and we spoke further, he confirmed it. Canadian he was and still is and always will be! We need more Canadians! Like we need more Debras!
Dear Debra, what can I say - I wouldn't mind. Our next planned travel destination is Canada (but that's still about a year away), and that would be a lot closer... All the best, Traude https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2024/09/calle-libre-festival-2024-und.html
Why are all these people laughing, do they think it's a joke? Don't they realize this is a plan to conquer the world? Certainly would be for the better, but might be a little inconvenience in the transition. xoxoxoBruce

ReplyDeleteI’ve often wondered what life would have been like had the USA been South Canada.
It's like I'm a bit behind. Loved the south south and the down under
