Nice.
Here's a joke which also illustrates one of the differences between us...
Q: How do you get 10 Canadians out of a swimming pool?
A: Say, "Everybody out of the pool."
Why do Canadians say "sorry" as often as we are accused? I think in general we give a damn that every heartbeat matters. The crazy lady next door to me makes me crazy but I wish her no ill will. I will wear a mask in public to show respect for others and I know short of a P1000 mask, it won't protect me from someone that does have the Covid.
Some complain that they can't carry a sidearm in Canada. Yes, granted, NB is an example, my city as well but I don't see a need to carry a gun into Walmart.
Tommy Douglas was a Canadian hero from a tiny, nondescript province that survived the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl years. He fought for universal health care in our country and we do pay for it. I would rather give up a few shackles of my paycheque then watch someone that needs real care turned away because they can't pay for it.
Our countries are different. We are also divided by region. I grew up in the land of the granola munchers and spent my time with the Francophone. We may be different but our respect for our differences is why Canada has 0.10 of Covid cases and 0.001" deaths of the US.
My Mom can't visit her two sons, grandchildren and new grandchild because she lives in CA. I told her to grab her crap, gather up my sister and her kids and grandkids and get to Canada.
And here I sit, pontificating that as of today, Canada's new Covid cases are less than 0.01% of the US's and the math should show we should be at 5000+ today compared to our neighbours. We are at less than 400 today, total, in the entire country.
Take care my neighbours to the south and remember your power comes in November.
