"... how can we really know if they’ve been vetted? They are coming from America, after all.”

A nation without a functioning central government, I hear.

Think it would freak out our American friends to know that back in Diefenbaker's day, and up until fairly recently, it was called The Progressive Conservative Party of Canada?

Yup, progressive. Conservative. Progressive. Thing is, down there they probably would be.

I think maybe it's time for the Underground Railroad to go back into business. We can send the Americans copies of the Heritage Minute so they know how it works.

Fun fact: Up here, "Heritage" isn't a code word for fuck The Others. It's just a regular word for the shared experiences which, over the years, have shaped our nation--and everyone else's, too.

And down into the Eastern end of Lake Ontario. My part of Eastern Ontario is lousy with them. Including the trouble & strife. In fact her ancestors built the first stone house between Kingston and Toronto, in 1792.

And Pierre Trudeau was dead, or about to be.

I'm confused tho. Where did 2000 come from, anyway? If we're talking about the Thatcher years I'm pretty sure PET was PM for some of them.

Oswalt, I think. Odd looking dude. Not really sure what he does...although part of my brain is trying to tell me he plays The Penguin on the most recent Batman TV show. He's no Burgess Meredith, but he sure has the look, and sounds like he could pull it off.

He is one funny motherfucker! I"ve been seeing him on CNN's History of Comedy. He was the first to be able to repeat George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television"*. So obviously he's pretty smart. Progressive too to boot.

*fun game: Can you?

I heard the Statue of Liberty was seen looking at maps to plan her route for sneaking into Canada.
