What does the trucker strike have to do with Canada being uber liberal?  I thought the trucker strike was a clear sign how not free the Canadian people are.  Many think they are just like us, but I beg to differ. 

I spent almost a year up there on a consulting gig, and I was shocked by a number of things there, particularly how aggressive the women are to find a guy to marry.  I got asked about marriage more often than not before I even took them out on a date.  Would you move here and live in Canada was the other question out of the gun before a date.

Last time I was in Canada, they all but searched every orifice.  I told them I would never return.  I had booked rooms for six folks traveling with me, and they held me up at customs for three hours.  Went through my bags 2-3 times.  I told the last agent, a female, when I was leaving that I would never return to this f***ed up country again.  Idiots.  Ignorant beyond reason.

I had hoped to go to a casino the night I arrived, and I was so pissed, I said I am not giving these POSs one dime more of my money than I had to.  Next day, I could not wait to depart.  Halifax, the *ss end of the world from my view, and I would rather sit on my back porch before ever traveling to that screwed up country.

With Trump's moronic rhetoric regarding making it the 51st state, I cringed at the thought.  I would rather annex Russia than Canada.  At least the people in Russia would welcome being a part of the USA given the chance, the Canadians would hate being incorporated into the USA.  They are special!  Or so they think!

I am 60 miles from the Alberta border. That border is closer to here than any big town.

I have been to Canada many, many times, and I see Canucks down here all the time. It is common. And as far as my experience goes (Inland BC, Yukon, NWT, Alberta, Saskatchewan) there is very little difference across the border. They hunt, fish, ranch, farm, and homestead under a very practiced liberty.

They drive American pickups use American tools, eat the very same fast foods, and drink the same beers.

But they are very decidedly Canadian and damn proud of it.
And that's alright.
