I was in Confederation Park, videotaping the ice sculptures during Winterlude. I was wearing a sweatshirt over a turtleneck and Hudson's Bay long johns, insulated boots and socks, and my big down-stuffed winter coat and a thick scarf, and I was still freezing!
Then a couple walked by me, wearing leather jackets and sweaters with scarves and mittens. I overheard one say to the other, "Ooh, it's a bit nippy oot tonight, eh?"
That's when I knew I could never be as tough as a Canadian.
I walked across the bridge behind the National Gallery to Gatineau (Hull) to go to the Museum of Civilizations on a very windy day if February. That was an adventure in hypothermia
Ain't there some kinda international laws against this kinda behavior, I mean unless you're an FBI agent, RCMP or something kinda representing law enforcement?
I could see the new country encompassing Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mrs. Sippy, Florida Kentucky, West Virginia and all that's between, even up to Pennsylvania. That'd give 'em plenty of coastline. You sure gave a conservative assessment about conservatives.
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming... all have some of the most gorgeous geography, but dang! Can't we take it back/away from them? Why to rednecks get all the cool places?
I have been known to quote the Man's Prayer:

You questioning whether I was born in a barn or what is the real racism!

Ottawa is an underrated city. Great restaurants and pubs, amazing museums, beautiful parks.
These horses have more brains and courage than the Canadian MCGATs.
“it’s difficult to navigate this and talk about it in a way that doesn’t completely fuck myself ’cause of legal reasons.”
You'd be amazed at the wide variety of topics I can talk about without no worry whatsoever that I will completely fuck myself 'cause of legal reasons.
Ain't there some kinda international laws against this kinda behavior, I mean unless you're an FBI agent, RCMP or something kinda representing law enforcement?
You too?
Really? Is that real? omg.

Yup!
I mean, I don't know what happens if you bite someone or if you go right back but, they just want them out of there.
Maybe they're just not that stupid. Yet.
