"I hope to see you again some time." Honestly, I hope so to.

Did you know that if you've made it as far as 70 years old and you go to your JP for a physical, he will tell you that after the age of 65 doctors don't do exams anymore or blood tests for cancer. No wonder by 2050 or sooner, the number of cancer cases and deaths will rise

Do you know a worthy Canadian for the 'The Order of Canada.' I have a few suggestion, do you?

The cold you woke up with started in your system days ago. The full effect of scientists' exciting the US will not be felt for a while, but rest assured, it will be felt.

The proof is in what you say goes back a few years, when the United States Government issued a legal request to Blackberry cellphones to divulge client information, and they said 'flat out ... no.' Today they are no longer a cell company. however, Microsoft complied, and you know where they are today. Take that any way you want, but I'm just glad I live in Canada.

this is not surprising, the Federal and Provincial governments 'decommissioned and surplus' auction house is run by the American firm. They seem to get first dibs on items and with the 30 percent exchange rate.

I gave this comment before, but how come we do not buy fruits and vegetables from Cuba instead of the U.S.? I know the US. the propaganda machine keeps running Cuba down and still upset from 60 years ago; however, they are tropical, they have fertile land, and they need the money. What is the problem???

They are fighting for their independence, their freedom, and that's the best cause in the world ... 'wouldn't you?' My question would be, 'Why can't people understand that?'

I think Donald Trump arranged a plan B (place to live) with his buddy Vladimir just in case things don't work out for him in the United States

If I lived in Alaska, I would worry.

Your letter is a perfect example of what many Canadians find so deeply troubling about the American worldview; 'they do not have a clue what's going on in their own country.

Remember the Huawei episode when Canada was holding true to our "friends" in the south. The US requested Canada to hold Meng Wanzhou, on 'bogus' charges. Of course, we did not know that at the time. The US President played Canada against China like a fine-tuned guitar. Today, the Chinese are still pissed with Canada after choosing the wrong friends and they should be pissed. Chinese EVs, maybe.
