Canadians! 
Here is my prophecy for the day! (Or is that prediction??)
As the hockey season ramps up, more and more the Canadians will lose interest in any conversation that doesn't have to do with hockey.
Gradually, the posts will become updates on the favourite team scores.
Woe! I see the Wings lost badly! Sorry to their fans!
Oh yes, the first few rounds, we get ALL the games on TV on one station or another. Who needs to go outside and garden in beautiful spring weather when you can sit in front of the TV every night, all night long?
I was cheering for the Canucks. Still deciding whether I am going to jump on the Flames bandwagon. Probably!
And I do come by hockey honestly! My boys played to pro level, and one went through university on a hockey scholarship. All those 4 am practices make me verging on a martyr.
Well, not the kind of martyr that ISIS is killing, but it nearly killed me those years of 19 ice slots a week. (I also had a daughter in figure skating, made it to provincial levels, then opted to coach!)
I won't "like" this post. I have my share of American friends ... and every one of them I can trust with my life
Also, I have friends 5 minutes over the bridge here in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

Amen! As do I! As a matter of fact, my nephew Daryl now lives in Grass Lake Michigan as he married an American girl. My two nieces are there too. I love them so much and often miss them! Also, I have friends 5 minutes over the bridge here in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

My DIL is American and technically so are my grandsons. Except one was actually born in England, and over 2 years later he is still not registered as a Canadian, because of a strike at Immigration.
My DIL had to jump through a lot of hoops to get permanent residency. (Landed immigrant status has many more hoops!) They actually investigated us, to see if we were real Canadians.
They changed the laws in 2010, so that if the parent was not born in Canada (say the grandparents were out of the country when the parent was born), then the child cannot be registered as a Canadian. Sort of more along the lines of Europe, and keeping the gypsies from having a country. Except we don't have gypsies.
So very hard even for the wife of a Canadian to get Canadian status. I don't know how all those bad people slip in, after what my DIL went through.
Oh yes, and we went over the border, and she had to have a letter from her husband allowing her to take the children out of the country. I guess parents are abducting their babies? It was pretty weird.
The border guard kept asking her "Are you the natural parent?" I was tempted to tell her to whip out the milk source and put it in the baby's mouth, but I refrained! LOL

you're a dear man.
but between our 'foreign policy' and the attitudes of some people here...
i'm wondering if telling Europeans i'm from Canada might be safer?
a moot point, though, since i don't have a plan to leave the country.
or a passport.
and last time i was in Canada, we didn't need a passport.
how goes the game? (match? lol)

Marc and I travel quite a bit. We have went to Costa Rica, and Cuba as well. When Canadians go to Costa Rica, they stamp your passport. In 2010 when we went to Cuba, they did not. All they did was give Canadians a tiny slip that we had to hang onto with our dear lives, as this showed that we were in Cuba and were returning to Canada. This is when there was controversy between the US and Cuba. Well when I crossed over into Sault, Michigan one time I got this rude custom's officer. He saw the Costa Rica stamp in spanish, and question me. Were you ever in Cuba? (It wasn't stamped on my passport ... so it was up to me to lie or tell the truth.) I never lied to them because it would only cause me trouble if they ever found out I was lying ... so I answered yes. Then he starts with the Fidel Castro and communism etc. I felt like saying look buddy ... the only reason you are questioning me right now is because you saw the spanish stamp from Costa Rica and you automatically think I was in Cuba. After a bit, he told us to go ahead. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
