Nope, just dont care for folks that knock western Canada. We're more than a bunch of northern Billy-Bob Dipsticks, stumbling through the bush with an ax over our shoulder and playing hockey with a bear-crap for a puck, humming "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK".

I have nothing against Americans - I once lived about a hundred miles south of you....

   

I happen to like the Lumberjack Song, nonrev.

   

Here is a summary, since you seem unable to put the pieces together.

You post: "B.C has a far more diversified resource sector than Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Aberta"
My response: "I would have to bet that SK is one of the most resource rich provinces in the country. Potash, uranium, oil, forestry, freshwater, oil, diamonds, farming..."

You post: "Only thing I cant think of is that huge friggin pile of Potash, west of Moose Jaw."
My response: "BC's got a lot of trees...nice. Maybe they could start squirrel exports!"

Somehow, out of all this, you are some red&white pro-West patriot and I am knocking Western Canada.

This is my last post in this thread - I don't even think you have spoken to the original thread question the entire time...maybe give that a shot.

You remember the log driver song/cartoon? about the dancing log driver

   

There's a better version of the song than that, Fixer...more raw. I have no idea who does it though.

   

THIS is the justification for your whole train of thought, mukluk?
Your reading comprehension could use a bit of tuning up.

I said we have all the resource bases of the other provinces, "Only thing I cant think of is that huge friggin pile of Potash, west of Moose Jaw.

In other words, thats the only resource I DONT think we have a match for.
That, sir, is all I said. Nothing more. The rest of the fabrication is entirely of your own doing.


Methinks I wouldnt want to fight a parking ticket with you as my lawyer - I'd wind up with a life sentence.

   

Whoa, settle down boys. Maybe we all need to take that trip together? A huge, topless Caddy will hold all three of us and the dogs and stand up to those backroads. I'll sit in the back with the dogs and teach you guys how to use the back floor as a cooler (layer of ice, layer of beer, layer of ice).

I can see it now...cruising down the gravel chain-smoking and sipping my beer...sunglasses on and a hand on my new Budweiser cap...swinging my recording thingy under your noses and pointing to random, falling down farm buildings and saying, "Some vapour barrier and insulation and you could live in that."

   

hey,
i haven't read the discussion about bc separating or anything but i had an idea while i was at work yesterday which could apply to any province or (territory i suppose)

what if, if a province wanted to separate, the gov't would let the province be it's own country for a period of time, say a year to 5 years or something and then when that is over the province and the country as a whole can decide whether that province stays out or comes back in...

the legalities could be taken care of in parliament simply by passing a law that says that the prov is teporarily it's own country for a period of time and outline the parameters etc...it would have to be very well thaught out but i think it might work...

   

So you mean like moving out but knowing you can always run back to Dad? It might work, under one condition...I moved back in with my Dad when I went to school. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

The hardest part was accepting that the rules counted now. They didn't before...I scoffed at my dad's arbitrary rules before. When I moved back in, I was a guest though. Dad was pretty tolerant, but the days of half-naked women stealing his best whiskey were over...at least if I dragged the women home.

So can we apply that principle?



I seem unable to actually live outside of metaphor and hyperbole today. I know I've got a virus and all, but this is starting to be like an episode of Dr. Who. Where the fuck is my sonic screwdriver?

   

i most definitely think that is an awesome idea, rev.
if a prov wants to come back there won't be any more screwing around that's for sure! this will also help when u consider the have/havenot provinces....
