Re: The United States / Canada border irregularities
That's pretty cool Gary.
Did you see that small lake that the USA stole from us? ...Yes, they went around that lake (rectangle) to claim that lake as their own! What a bunch!
Also, I live in the USA; if you account for a straight line cutting my Island!
Anyhow, it is quite remarkable. ...We the human race are a very strange animal species indeed.

Re: The United States / Canada border irregularities
I thought the Quebec secession issue was resolved 15 years ago. It wasn't?

Re: The United States / Canada border irregularities
Gary, the new wave is the brand new charter of values; google it to learn more about it. ...It's a terrible thing, and I am strongly opposed to it.
It won't become law anyway; people won't allow it.
The Quebec government (PQ) thinks that they are exceptional people, with a unique and superior identity (culture),
and tried real hard for many years now (and still) to separate from the rest of Canada.
This new charter of values is another attempt towards that eventual direction, again!
They are testing the public, and trying to call new elections coming soon in order to form a majority government.
It's a tactic that is backfiring already.
But the BC government (Liberal) ain't any better. They are discriminatory towards the Chinese and Muslim people.
Plus they don't respect the right of their workers (WCB).
Anyway, I'm thinking of moving out of my igloo and to the USA in a tepee, with the Indians of the mountains.~ Bob ~

Re: The United States / Canada border irregularities
Bob, I looked up "secessionist movements in Canada" and it seems everybody wants to secede and form their own country!

While the charter of values is wrong. I do have a problem with people hiding behind veils.

Re: The United States / Canada border irregularities
There are five main points in that charter; four of them most people agree with, but one of them they don't (veils). Originally Posted by Big B

I'm very sad about this PQ government; this is a very sick idea, and they'll lose many votes, including the ones of all my family and friends over there. Next elections they'll vote NDP, or Liberal (Trudeau?!!), but certainly not PQ.
Anyway, I'd rather talk about that very funny border line between Canada and USA.
...Good one Gary! 
EDIT: You don't like people hiding behind veils? ...And why not? At least they are hiding on the open, and not underground like some others do.~ Bob ~

Re: The United States / Canada border irregularities
Check the map Gary, and look at Victoria, on Vancouver Island.
I'm supposed to be a USA citizen if that border line was straight, but they banned (rejected) me and pushed me farther north, in Canada, inside an igloo.
According to the map of the planet Earth, I live in Oregon! ...And I'm black!
