Many Canadians drive across the border to Buffalo. It has much more to offer.
Who are you kidding? :lol: The only thing it has is the same thing Detroit has, cheaper prices even factoring the exchange rate. I've been to Buffalo a few times, it really doesn't have much that the Golden Horseshoe doesn't have.
Although Buffalo still beats the hell out of Detroit.

Imagine what it will be when the current slump is over. Odd that employment is also at a 40 year low.




WAY TO GO MHz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Your comment about employment signals that YOU DO sometimes come in contact with reality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Your doctors must be very proud of that achievement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now if only they could get you to think about or understand WHY our debts are at record levels in spite of all that new employment????????


And if they could do something to alleviate your chronic and compulsive and entirely UNHEALTHY thoughts about Jews you would then be sufficiently cured they might let you out for a day pass or two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do see a major problem in our education system with regards to understanding causal relationships. I remember an aunt of mine finding it odd that I preferred to eat vegan yet had respect for butchers and hunters. I pointed out how she could eat a hamburger while considering hunters and butchers cruel without realizing that if it weren't for butcher and hunters, she'd have no hamburger to eat. Also, the consumer creates the demand for the butcher.

On another occasion, a woman was telling me how we need to toughen our Canadian Content laws. I pointed out that I barely watched TV and the books I read came from everywhere, only some from the US. It turned out she consumed more US cultural content that I did yet she was the one wanting tougher laws. Well, how about she change her own habits, eh?

On another occasion many years ago, I was straight out of high school and working at a restaurant. One colleague storms into the back enraged. I ask him why. It turned out that one of the men from the large group that came in to eat brunch every Sunday noon recognized him as a member of their congregation and chastized him for working on Sundays. He was smart. He understood the irony of the fact that the reason he had to work on Sundays was because his congregants all went to eat brunth every Sunday noon! I remember reading an article in the newspaper whereby an elderly woman said there should be more busses running on Sundays to take people to Church. Hmmmm... Whatever happened to the Sabbath?

Or the environmentalists who all buy plane tickets to head to a protest.

We see it in government policy too. They just don't think!

Yes a couple of years back after a couple of early springs the Dept of Transportation decided to change when vehicles had to carry chains and drive with proper snow tires to March 31 from the April 30 it had been for years . After a couple of late springs and major traffic problems it has been quietly changed back to April 30 .

Both dates are retarded. Anyone with driving experience on B.C. highways knows snow makes a regular appearance 10 months of the year on any of the summits over 4000'. About 20 years ago Eholt Summit had snow on June 7th. and that is well under 4000'. :)

Ever driven on B.C. highways hot shot ? Try highway 3 in a blizzard . Sh-t heavy rain would probably make you .
As a matter of fact, I was in a blizzard in the Kootenay pass in early June, once.

The worst mountain blizzard that I've driven in in BC was returning my elderly parents from Van to the Shuswap on the Coquihalla in early January with a massive snow dump going on and the highway closing just behind us. My parents had all season tires on their Plymouth, so it wasn't a fun ride. It took about seven hours from Hope to Kamloops but we did it in one piece. I come from a very snowy, winter dangerous part of Canada, originally. This is my 43rd winter of driving (not terribly wintery around here ... more so that Surry, that's for damned sure)) and I am so far unscathed.

There was a time when I drove into the Green Mountains of Vermont every winter weekend. They get A LOT of snow dumped on them from Atlantic Ocean weather btw. and I can remember years when the skiing was trash all over North America except in Appalachia and seeing licence plates from Colorado and Washington in the lot at Jay Peak.

Skiing is never crap in the B.C. interior. Have you never heard of Okanagan champagne powder .

Driving the Coq with all season tires in January is illegal.
