Canada....Why do you put up with Quebec?

You know why that fake French area and Canada even exists?
Because we don’t want it! It’s either too cold, too crappy ( which is amazing because we have Detroit, San Francisco and New Jersey) or it’s not worth the effort.

canada? Meh, not worth the effort.

 

and its where you get the largest majority of your oil from, and for many states their electricity as well...so not so meh - actually pretty important to the USA.

 

If they would just keep those shitty 'music' acts up there, that'd be great.

 

Still bitter about the Guess Who - American Woman song?......

 

All Quebec is good for is poutine, and snowmobiling. After that they can screw off.

 

Riverside, future birth place of James T Kirk, lol Ruined now due to the casino. Used to be a fun hole in the wall bar called "The Iron Horse" there, back in the 90's and aughts. I grew up in Iowa City. It only took me 18 years to realize I WAS allowed to leave. Still have a bunch of friends who never escaped. They're living alright.

 

Dont travel to riverside (ia) for the star trek fest parade. Its fun for the locals but its just a small town parade at heart, dont come from out of state expecting some big event.

Chemguy is talking about riverside CA where its hot as fuck and smoggy. Riverside IA isa fucking paradise compared to its CA sister.

 

You saying watching the corn cam wouldn't convince you to drop everything and start a new life there?

What kind of flying were you doing?

I loved the movie.

 

Kiev is a paradise compared to Riverside, CA

 

We only put up with Quebec because without them we would leave every Olympics with one medal - a bronze - because of a disqualification.

Post shaming, Ken. I have read about this.

 

I saw a stat to get a permit to build a house in Canada, its now over 250 days wait, which has dramatically lengthened under Pierre Blackface Castro. South Korea is under 30 days.

 

I lived in Nebraska for a long time and that's where my family lives. Went to VA and hated it. Then FL...I don't hate it here but can't say I love it either. Love my job though, so I don't see me moving back to the midwest anytime soon.

 

Papa re the flyin, my last flying job was netjets in small cabin citations. Before that, a regional flying turboprops and then CRJs.

 

This is the wrong answer. the only answer to the question why Iowa??? THE WHITETAIL DEER HUNTIN!!! Dream to go there and hunt. they have made it a rich mans sport now. Ski

 

Be careful, nobody likes to deal in reality

 

Years of pandering to the victimhood that is the Quebec. They’ve trained rest of the country well. Now the political parties know to pander to Quebec voters by promising them their own rules anytime they like it.
It’s too late, that spoiled child should have been taught not to speak back decades ago.

 

in broad strokes, typically the "red" states: https://www.moneygeek.com/living/states-most-reliant-federal-government/

the irony of the "gubmint bad, communism bad" correlation is pretty funny at first glance. the humorous implications fall apart and become simply mundane once you start digging into the actual social/political/economic reasons for the spending trends... but then just "whatever, nerd"

 

You weren't tempted to get back into it when things picked up again?
