Too cold is the main reason I've never thought of moving there. I tried CR, but it didn't take long for it to go to schitt. Affordable health care if you can get to it. So, if either of you needed major medical treatment, would you not go to Canada and stay here, signing over all your belongings to the hospital?
Wrong Barry, I haven't even fouled yet. Quebec.....very French lady....oh please they all want their own country up there. Fools. "Local Level" doesn't answer how we fund public education. That's not even an answer. Jeez, I haven't missed one pitch, but you aren't even stepping in the batter's box. I'm never wrong, Barry.
Wrong...they actually make money, on the backs of college kids. When the fed took over the student loan industry, they neglected to change the absurdly high interest rates so all those billions (or more) in student loans make the govt money. Its ironic that Elizabeth Warren is making student loan forgiveness her issue when she was an architect fo the take over in the first place.
Bill, this statement reveals quite a bit. Very, very few people call them "OTM's". Gotta ask, when and where did you pick up this term?
As far as my criteria of depending on the gov., I've put in 45 years of fugging taxes and SS. That's a schitt load of money. Once, I got 2 months of unemployment. 135 bucks a week for a family of 4.
hahahaha!! Good one. One thing is for sure, if they ever get their own country, the rest of Canada is screwed. Most of the valuable resources are in Quebec. What would Nova Scotia survive on....fish?? I don't think so.
Oh, that does suck, which is why I hate government. It is very mismanaged. You saw the results of that. Hope things are better for you now.
I used to read a lot. "Other Than Mexcians"...like dudes from El Salvador or......like Argentina. Saw the term many, many moons ago in a newspaper article I reckon. Barry: Did you know you have the same first name as Pump's favorite politician? Barry as in Goldwater, who wasn't even an American. He was born in some territory out west. I think they called it The Arizona Territory or something like that. I don't know. Place sounds foreign to me.
Arizona?? Is that near The Socialist Republic of California?? There is no Barry there, but there is a Jerry....
Sorry, Alberta is the Canadian province of economic significance. Fort McMurray or something like that, man. They got oil. Shoot, a few years ago Alberta was hugely unstaffed. Like, KFC had to close sometimes because they didn't have the employees. Swear. And BC is a huge marijuana exporter. Ottawa has the government resources. Ahh, what resources are in Quebec......wine? Snails? Cowardice?
The term "OTM" (Other Than Mexican) is a term widely used by many Immigration branches. "OTM" is also used to refer to Swedes, Norwegians, Ukrainians, Chinese, Koreans and many others that are actually often deported, contrary to the ongoing popular belief that Mexicans and Central Americans are the only deported illegals. Mexicans are also often referred to by immigration officials as "Tonks"...because that's the noise it makes when you hit them in the head with a flashlight.
Nickel mines....large mining industry....big dollars.....very big dollars. They may have some oil as well. But....it's the french girls that are their biggest resource. Absolutely drop dead gorgeous.
Well, we only mind the brown and black immigrants, right? Though, screw eastern Europe too. Nordic types are kind of cold and creepy.... Koreans are needed to open bodegas in South LA neighborhoods.
In 01,fuggin best friend turn on us like chicken salad in the summer sun. Ended up unloading all my tools and crap in Playa Carmen, until the piggies ran us off. Then, in 03, met a kraut that I helped out in 01, he was an heir to a Mercedes fortune. Gave us a bungalo and introduced me to a king pin who was going to build me a tech school to teach the carajillos a/c and r. The foundation was set in 05, but when I got home, God had different plans. I was playing around with the idea of starting my own company. Made my own card, and invoice patterns. Went looking for a van and was getting reamed. I was lamenting to a young bartender at a place I was working. I helped him the earlier summer with his a/c. He said his dad was fleet mgr of the nearby ford dealer. 3 days later, I had a van at his dads price(so I was told) plus discounts etc. probably less than a month after returning from my last trip to paradise. It'll be 10 years in May. 05/05/05 was my first invoice date. From the pics I saw from Santa Terresa, Playa Carmen looks like veebee.
It's all gone. Without the rich contributing, they had to arm the baby killers with our funds. I heard that the Koch and Rockefellers are lending our gubment money at a high interest rate. They own the banks and probably view the Yoo Ess as a high risk loan.
