Liberal Party Leadership Convention

Mark Carney won. He's a bit corporatist, a bit centrist - but then again, he's Canadian, which means here in the U.S. he'd be a leftist. And he's ready to fight. I'm so proud of my country, and I'm not even a Liberal voter. (I'd be an NDP voter if I was back home.)

Elbows Up!!

Elbows up to you as well!

I am hoping the 30 day thing for Canadians that Trump imposed isn't going to impact you.

Thanks - I, too, worry about the stupid tariffs, but we'll try to take it one day at a time.

I was thinking more on the form that all Canadians have to sign if they are staying in the USA for more than 30 days. I assume you are a full American citizen now but, if you are also a Canadian citizen, do you need to fill out those forms?

Hi there - nope, never took out American citizenship; couldn't bring myself to say the oath. As for the registration requirement for Canadians and other foreign visitors, I guess Canadians should feel lucky that they're exempt from the fingerprinting requirement *eyeroll*.

And quite seriously, even though this doesn't affect me, because I'm not a visitor, this is just one more sign that the U.S. is slipping further into fascism. And it's one more reason we are looking to move north.

Yep. The hockey legacy of Gordy Howe involves him being a tough cookie on the ice, and that legacy now inches into the cultural/political. (Some would call him a dirty player, but I think taking his attitude into the current Canadian situation is a smart move.)
