Thank you for negotiating and agreeing in good faith to forming the most powerful, valuable, successful bilateral trade relationship in the history of humankind.
Now if we could only keep our word.

A couple more Canadian products. Cheezies, and the Robertson screw. And Nestle Coffee Crisp chocolate bars.

"If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." My life's motto.

The best TV show in Minnesota (where I lived for seven years): Canada's own 'The Red Green Show'.

Keep your stick on the ice, Canada!

And who could forget Red Green’s motto? (When all else fails, play dead!)

A few words of appreciation from a regular ol' United Statesian:

Thank you for being at our side during two world wars and at our darkest hour following 9/11.

Thank you for negotiating and agreeing in good faith to forming the most powerful, valuable, successful bilateral trade relationship in the history of humankind.

Thank you for being the best neighbour-nation that any nation could possibly hope for.
Sir, for me, those are much needed soothing words. You’ve made my day!

Bet there’s a story there!
Nothing terrible exiting, my parents sailed on an Norwegian ship and fell in love on Cuba in 59. The ship was headed for the Great Lakes and they made my brother on that trip. 6 years later they where going up St, Lawrence again and made me. I dont know why they had to do it like a salmon and go up that river to spawn.

There is a limit! I got scars on my fingers from the bit jumping out of those god damned screws and into my clumsy didgits. I hate those damned things with a vengance! If orange man outlaws Robertson screws after he makes you the 51th state, he is forgiven in my book! 😃

Odd. Roberston screws are known for exactly not doing the thing you are referring to...

If they are "jumping out" as you say, then there are a few things to check. One is that you have the right size. Another is that the screw or driver are not damaged. Then what's left are maybe cheaply made products, or perhaps operator error (clumsy digits being the giveaway maybe).

51st state? I refuse to take the bait on that one!

Threads like this always get a little political. They start out with "no politics please" but really even the OP is trying to be sneaky political.

But politics aside, my 3 trips to Canada were awesome. All 3 in the winter. I'd really like to go in the summer. Montreal is one unique city, and man I could really spend some time there. Even if I don't know French and people would be a little snobby about me being a tourist. We Americans are used to it.

Five ladies with transatlantic accents were admiring my Parson Russell terrier, Jim, in Kenwood House car park.

Because of their accents I asked if they were American …. they very firmly told me in an extremely friendly way that, “No!, we’re Canadian” 😀
