Happy Thanksgiving Canada

[Bmaxdlux]

From your U.S. America neighbors...

Wishing all of you beloved Canadians,

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks

:angry: Now could you could you stop screwing around with NAFTA, either you want free trade or not, I don't think the avg american joe has any idea how pissed the canuks are getting over the softwood lumber. It's not the money (1 or 2% of all trade) it's the breech of trust, you agree to a disput mechanism and then completely ignore it when it rules against you, don't be surprised if we start shipping resources east instead of south :angry:

Uhhh, thanks for wishing us a happy Thanksgiving. I really appreciate that. Had a great meal of turkey and moose with about nine friends visiting. Great time and I have a lot of things for which to be thankful.

Yes, the country is ticked off (and rightly enough) about the whole NAFTA dispute resolution process being snubbed, but this ain't the bloody place or the damn time. Thanks again for your thoughts. It's way too early but I reciprocate the well-wishes right back to you in advance.

Take care!

John.

:erm: ... didn't mean to step on any toes.

Personally, I'm way too busy trying to make ends meet

here than to worry about who's doing what to stink up

the political atmosphere of international relations.

Perhaps... in 20 years or so... when all the worlds

economy is based on a uniform standard of monetary

exchange we'll look back on this incident and laugh.

Then it won't matter where you look to trade, it will

still go to the highest/lowest bidder... welcome back

to the never changing world of business.

Either way it will forever remain, out of my control.

Thanks for the best wishes,

For anyone who might be wondering why our T'giving is earlier than the US, it has to do with the time of the harvest....and football season ending earlier.

I am not really all that bothered by the softwood lumber thing....just don't get me going on hardwood!!!

Thanks for the kind thoughts. My wife and I cooked a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat for our son, daughter in law and 3 Canadian kids living in Springfield IL for the Winter so they can play hockey for the Junior Blues (my son is that hockey team's unpaid Web announcer). We got some strange looks at the supermarket, but the meat manager did find us a 20 pound turkey!

So long as everybody stuffed themselves and lived to

tell about it I'm satisfied.

And there were 28 colored glossy photographs, with circles and arrows, and a paragraph on the back of each one.....!

Arlo is a Thanksgiving tradition at my house. Last year my grown daughter called me from her in-laws to remind me to listen.

Have you heard the newer versions of that where Arlo met Chip Carter at the Carter inaugural ball? Some great stuff there.

Meet y'all at the Group W bench! :bigeyes:

 

[FastJoyRide]

Haven't heard the updated version - I'll have to look for that!

Let me know if you find it. I'll add it to my collection.
