Eva has gained 470gms (that's about 1lb) since birth. She's not even 2 weeks old. She's a clever girl!

Were you not the one that said the 80s didn't reach Canada until the 90s? Or something... I know you said something.

I was quoting from How I Met Your Mother: they always tease Robin for being Canadian. I love the humor, but I have nothing against Canada, eh? I'd like to visit, if I ever get out of this state again. In fact, I'd like to move there if Romney gets elected.
grumble grumble can't find the Canadian flag in the smilies. |

Don't go to Alaska. Truly.
Head for St. Edward's Island or some such - a place like where the Shipping News took place. My Pepere was originally from a very tiny town called Kamarouska. Sounds Russian for a French town, eh? OH, I googled it.. It's Algonquin for where reeds meet the water or something. Voted one of the most beautiful towns in Quebec. Not when Pepere was a little guy, though, I'll bet. He nearly starved to death. He told me one winter they ate flour mixed with water and maybe an onion if they were lucky.

Today we received a lovely card from Sundae and also one from her Mum. Such a lovely surprise.
We've had so many lovely cards and small gifts for Eva. The generosity and care of the people in my life warms the cockles of my heart. Honestly.

What UT said but apply it to most of Canada. Part of the Canadian identity is a deep-rooted, taught-in-school-and-home hatred of Americans. We grow up learning from our teachers and parents that Americans are a bunch of greedy, crazy, gun-toting, arbitrarily violent sociopaths who want nothing more than to shoot you in the face and go all Deliverance on you should you be so unwise as to stop for coffee at a rest stop along the interstate. Oh, and they throw their loved ones into the street to die because no one here gets health care. Of any kind. At all.
And don't even think you'd be welcome as an immigrant from the US, not unless you meet specific criteria that government officials have decided. Are you skilled? Hard working, looking for a job? Able to hit the ground running and contribute to the economy and the society? Back o' the line, Bub. We don't want your sort here! As long as you're a tourist, though, Canadians will play nice and be more than happy to take your money. It's all good as long as you don't delude yourself that they actually like you. Let's just say that Canadian attitudes, and Canadian immigration policy, are not what Americans imagine.
