The wife weighs in on Canada...

Post by LawBeefaroni »

...at Popmatters.

Not much to say, except that it's supposed to be humor and not a real appeal to our friends to the north. She's received hate email from people defending Baffin Island and Saskatchewan. :lol:
Growing pains, you say? Oh come now, Canada. Don't be coy. I've been to Saskatchewan. I know there's plenty of room for us. We're resourceful enough to live anywhere. Heck, if you've been impressed by our achievements in Las Vegas, imagine what we could do for Baffin Island!

Heh, I don't think you'd like Baffin Island, what with the freezing to death after a few minutes outside and all. It's -18 in Iqaluit today, which is -4 fahrenheit. Imagine what it's like in January.

I'd love to move up to Point Pelee or around Baamph(?). If someone would send me an invitation and decent place to work, I'd go in a hearbeat.

You probably mean Banff, and most people around there work in the ski resort. If you can teach people how to ski you could probably get a job doing that.

Nope. That wouldn't me. I'm a clutz. I can walk in the woods for hours at a time like you wouldn't believe, though.

Thirded. A while back I read some of her "girlish" writing on the site that's linked in LawBeef's sig and it was quality stuff. Is she a professional writer?
