Ya think it's easy?

“I like Newfies a lot. Those are dogs who can pull their own weight! But they’re not Canadian, despite the name. They’re Portuguese, like Labradors.”

“Canadians are a lot like Americans, except they can save money and spell properly.”

That’s a joke I used to make with Canadian investors. This was 10+ years ago, and while it was arguably a fair-housing violation – nationality is trayf – it was demonstrably true at the time: Canadians had money to buy American houses when Americans did not.

Canadians have mattered to Phoenix since Phoenix was Pumpkinville – we are the southernmost city in Alberta – but perhaps never so much as now: Canada is losing its mind. It’s the same crap as here – underfathered wretches melting down over their desperate need for boundaries – but holiness spirals spiral best among the reliably rigorous.

So: Don’t pull out those ‘Reduced!’ riders just yet. With every burning church in the great white north, Canada may be cooking up a whole new batch of refugees.
