I haven't watched/read it yet but i'm going to guess its about the group of people that tried to take away free speech or something?

*Edit* I stand corrected, I had to take a guess at it though.

I have a tendency to think that Canada is everything the US should be, not that I’ve actually lived there or even visited. (Indeed, this report now has me considering safer countries, such as Australia or Afghanistan.)

Wow had no idea we were that high in terms of possible terrorist attack lol.

Doubt they'd hit where I live though. They'd probably target Toronto, maybe Ottawa, still bad though, hopefully nothing happens.

There's the level of terrorist threat, and then there's the level of terrorist paranoia. Both in the US and Canada I think there's quite a bit more of the latter than the former.

If the terrorists don’t get you, blizzards, hypothermia, tornadoes, forest fires, wildlife, and thieves will.

Haha true. People actually freeze to death here, literally. I see that in the news regularly. Normally alcohol is involved. Stupid drunk tards leaving their kids in the car, and stuff like that. All preventable stuff.

Was kinda crazy the other day. Went from a heat wave to a frost in a matter of hours, made for very fun roads. They over exaggerate things though. It was not THAT bad. The deaths were not because of the weather, they were because of idiots, and those deaths were preventable.

What is this Canada you speak of? Is this the land of giant oddly coloured squirrels?

That article's right, Canada is too dangerous. I would much rather just stay in my house (if I go out onto the street I might get hit by a car), and not eat (I might get food poisoning) and not drink anything (I might get sick from bacteria in the water) and not move (I might sprain a muscle.)

If bad stuff happens hear, just multiply that by 10 to see what goes on in the states.

For one, at least we actually get to vote for our leader. LOL

Are you saying there is a problem when you have numerous candidates that are all poor choices that will accomplish relatively nothing in office? Oh wait.... :wacko:

well they all do a crappy job, but at least the one we voted for is elected.

But yeah you're right, not like it really matters, they're all out to get our money and screw something up anyway. :lol:

In Canada, high wind days exist and so do fog days.

Haha, what a load. I got a 6 day weekend and a half day week because of it.

Nice. I miss snow days, they were so fun. Here they are randomized. TBH I think they pick them in advance. It's more like PD days.

It can be -50 for a full month, but they'll throw maybe 3 snow days in there and the reason behind them is because its too cold. But whats the point, when its that cold a whole month? lol

I remember walking to school in that weather durring a blizzard only to find out it was canceled. I saw no one was at the lockers so I figured I was late lol. So went back home and had the full day off.
