But will you keep your Canadian cold fronts? That’s the million loonie question.
Right now, I’d kill for a nice cold front. -35 C is so much easier to deal with than +35 C.
You and me, both. But my neighbors start talking about their torches, pitchforks, and the need to demonstrate their ahem civic traditions when I bring that up. :eek:
On Friday afternoon I knocked off early and went skinny dipping in the small lake near my house.
Getting there involved a 700’ ascent, followed by a few kilometers of up and down on a trail that included ferns up to my waist and grasses up to my shoulders, old growth maples, a lonely lovely purple orchid, and a black bear.
The retun trip started with a swim across the narrow lake, which made for a wonderful cooling off after all that hiking in the heat.
This morning, some of my crew and I piled into a 40’ canoe and paddled about on Superior for a few hours, with a wonderful view of the sleepy guy (Sleeping Giant – winner of the People’s Choice award in the Canada’s Seven Wonders competition.)
Tomorrow I heading a few bays down lake to a friend’s sauna. Given that the lake is near freezing even in the heat of the summer, it’s easy for a guy to know who his friends are – the folks who do not laugh at you when you climb out of the lake.
I’m a winter person. I’d rather ski the steeps and the forest trails rather than walk them. I’d rather kite-ski on Gitchigumi than paddle on it. I’d rather dive out of a sauna into a snow bank than a lake. But even in the heat of the summer, I realize that I live in a paradise.
No way, man. Those are for sharing. 
I’ve been on the fucking wait list for years, and I’m a Canadian citizen!
For heaven’s sake, Toronto dopers, won’t at least one of you please hook up with Sunspace? It’s the right thing to do.
He has a standing offer from at least one Doperealer, but there are compatibility issues
No, cuntbag. It’s the arbitrary nature of which your dipshit postal service has taken with regards to our mail. No name on the return address when my fuckin signature is two inches down on the customs form? Seemed to work fine for me before. This is telling me that my mail ran into a douchebag Canadian postal official who is so fuckin by the book that he gets hards when he sees your nonsensical ZIP codes written on the last line before the word CANADA.
Well, now Canada gets none of my goods. I hope they’ll be able to survive on reindeer jerky and maple syrup, or do they offer other products these days?
It’s called a postal code in Canada. Fighting ignorance and all that.
Did you know you’re an asshole? Again, fighting ignorance and all that.
I would never have thought it possible for a rant against Canada Post to turn against its OP.
I would, but I suspect I’m not his type, y’know?
Johnny’s talented like that.
A few, as was pointed out upthread. But I’m sure you’d never need such things as, oh, oil, gas, hydroelectric power, lumber, wheat, beef, gold, uranium, diamonds, and beer, among other items. Guess we’re stuck with them. sigh Whatever will we do?
Oil, gas, hydroelectric, lumber, wheat, beef, gold, uranium, diamond, and beer omelette party at Spoons’ house!
So who’s going to make the lumber, gold, uranium, and diamond omelettes?
Oooh, sounds yummy. Can I come?
Man, I better get working on cleaning this place up, if that’s gonna happen.
I’ll be over to help as soon as I can. To get started, I’ll bring the menu from the radioactive Chinese restaurant in the lumber, uranium, gold, hydroelectric, marble, and venison town of Bancroft.

Good to hear. Can you help with corralling the cats?
For this procedure, you will need:[ul][li]Can opener.[]Can of tuna.[]Cat carrier able to accommodate all cats.[/ul]Steps:[ol][]Set cat carrier on floor.[]Open cat carrier.[]Open can of tuna. A fishy odour is apparent.[]Set open can of tuna on floor of cat carrier. Cats will investigate the odour and enter the cat carrier.[]Wait until all desired cats have entered the cat carrier.[]Close the door of the cat carrier.[/ol]Your cats are now corralled. [/li]
Notes:[ul][li]During a multiple-cat collection, some cats may attempt to leave the cat carrier after they have been corralled. If this occurs, a smaller enclosure may be used, and the cats corralled individually instead of in a group. [*]A room, fenced enclosure, box, or other space may be substituted for the cat carrier if it has a closeable door.[/ul][/li]
I hope this helps.
