What exactly would you like me to do, Bobert? ;-)

(Keep in mind that I live in Canada, I am happy to be here, and I have no intention of moving back to the USA...I was living there once for ten years, don't wish to return there again!)

Whatever it is you would like me to do, though, keep in mind that I do not do what other people want me to do, I do exactly what I want to do. But I'm just curious if you had something you'd rather I was doing, so I thought I'd ask what the heck it was...

I do realize that you are facing a lot of totally aggravating shit down there during this Congressional election, and I sympathize, believe me. I also empathize.

It's a pity your election campaigns aren't limited, as ours are, to only a 6 week period (if I remember right...I think it's 6 weeks). There's a lot less time here for the unscrupulous in political parties to promote hatred and engage in dirty politics, cos our campaigns are so much shorter in duration than the American campaigns, and that's regulated by Canadian law.

Sawzaw is stalking me too, by the way...on just one specific issue. He keeps pretending that I am representing the whole nation of Canada when I speak and being some kind of official spokesman and defender for it. I'm not. ;-D I represent me, period. My opinions are not the offical or unofficial views of Canada, they are the private personal opinions of me. I regard the Canadian government as a big disappointment and an embarrassment, frankly...but it could be worse!!! Way worse. So I count my blessings that it isn't.
