Apparently it's a failed state.

We should be invading any day now.

We can't tease them about their money being worthless anymore...$1.00US = 1.26CAN <sigh>

They have legalized marijuana, legal toplessness in public and national health care. Pretty happy people, I'm guessing.

Okay, but in regards to their government, or lack thereof, does anyone have any recent developments?

I'm looking up some stuff now, just to check what I know is true. I'm Canadian (but I live in NC) and my relatives in Niagara Falls, Ontario (my hometown) have been keeping us up to date with things going on up there.

The Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, is safe. He won against those attempting to topple over the gov't that he has going currently.

I, personally, would rather have another election. Listen to the people, even if it is a minority.

Parliament resumes in January 26.

Interesting. Thank you.

Nah. I think he meant Dudley Do-Right. Bullwinkle was never a mountie that I recall . . . were you?

I have never been to Canada. It was my weak attempt at sarcasm.

And it was my weak-attempt at playing along with your weak attempt. ;)

But having watched way too much Bullwinkle in my childhood, I feel confident in saying he was never a mountie either.

Oh yeah, how the hell did I get a moose and a human being confused.

Well, when the moose stands on two feet and talks and the human is dumber than the horse he rides, it's understandable.

I was partial to Peabody's Improbable History myself. The Way Back Machine was way cool.

Sucky nightclubs, but decent strip clubs. The only place near Detroit with an all male entertainment facility.

Love Niagara Falls.
