If you read the article that Scott T-Bird posted, it said that 1222 people snuck into Quebec last year, about as many as try to sneak into the USA each hour?

If they KNEW 1222 snuck in, then I guess they didn't 'snuck' so well.
Amateur! We had an actual LEO sink a docked boat in Georgetown. Gross incompetence. He showed all indications of leaving the scene until his propeller fell off. Last I heard he was assigned to desk work.Last year the 19 year old lifesaver asked the marina staff on how to start the SeaDoo. Then promptly waked every boat in the marina on her way to the life guard station.
This was one of the most brutally incompetent boat operator videos I have seen.Amateur! We had an actual LEO sink a docked boat in Georgetown. Gross incompetence. He showed all indications of leaving the scene until his propeller fell off. Last I heard he was assigned to desk work.
Excuse me? The geo-political bent that I led us into? You were the one that introduced the mention of a wall into the thread. I think you missed my point.No, I think you missed the point of my rebuttal to your snide comment. Canada appears to be uneasy with illegal immigration as is the U.S. I would speculate that Canada is more strict in regard to enforcement of immigration laws than the U.S. has been. You led us into a geo-political bent with this thread, I merely responded. Obviously, it has no place in this forum.
By the way, I don't think you noticed but I'm not Canadian. Only been there once. But some of my best friends are Canadians.How is Canada reacting to illegal border crossings? What happens when America is no longer your buffer.

Build the Wall ... coming soon to Canadian neighborhoods.
I don't disagree. Amazing how often those throwing the first stone come across as perhaps not the sharpest pencil in the box. And perhaps I am overly sensitive to the issue since I'm on a few international forums and occasionally see someone's English skills criticized.Yes. Sorry. :-D
If he's French-speaking, then all is forgiven.
It's just that the irony of these types of posts really tickles me. Good natured, not scolding.
I see it a lot on the Internet, usually when someone has created a graphic to explain the "stupidity" of (insert adversarial group), and the text in the graphic is hilariously filled with errors.
Don't get me started on all the misspellings and very basic grammar errors that drive me batty. Your vs you're. Their, there, they're. Less vs fewer.
They have medication for this, so either you have forgotten to take your daily dosage or you haven't found a doctor who prescribes it yet, either way you really shouldn't sweat the small stuff.Don't get me started on all the misspellings and very basic grammar errors that drive me batty.

Oooh, snap! Those affable snow-people?Here'd be a real kicker to the original story.
The two girls rescued from being run down by the cruise ship were visiting from Canada.
Shazam! Hey, did you hear the one about the two girls from West Virginia....?But they are from Princeton, WV,

I replied about walls but perhaps you didn't understand totally meant in jest. I certainly don't care to build walls anywhere, especially not Canada and especially not the beaches. Do you seriously think I was serious?
Sorry my attempt at humor didn't come across.
Well I try to not sweat the small stuff which is one reason I didn't actually go online and complain about a specific post's grammar. I do notice but hope I've reached the point that it passes on by.They have medication for this, so either you have forgotten to take your daily dosage or you haven't found a doctor who prescribes it yet, either way you really shouldn't sweat the small stuff.
As for Toronto, you would be just as likely to come across a Chinese speaking resident as a French speaking one.
Hey, I'm fine. Have spent way too much time on the internet to let anything but a major, personal flaming even get my attention. I just didn't want to create any ill feelings on this forum.skipmac,
I admit that I didn't pick up on the detail that this thread is in the Sails Call Lounge or the detail about your location. Snide comments made in jest are certainly understandable in that case. (I've heard that the protocol for AAS forum is to avoid anything that approaches political commentary or humor). In this case, I can wear my thick skin and I have no problem with your remarks and intentions, so long as you have no problem with rebuttals. (Phil, we need an emoticon for shaking hands or "kiss and make up" don't you think?)
