I, too, would vote for Mayne.

Seems better than that Ford fellow, anyway.

And I'd actually trust him with someone else's sister.

I'm not up on Canadian politics. Which party is for open beaver/moose relationships and which is for building a wall to keep out people from Detroit?

Yeah, I've mused about how useful a border wall might be between Canada and the USA. For example, in the winter where I live one of the common repeating weather phenomena is a "Colorado Low" that forms in the US Southwest and travels north-north-east across the prairies and then across the Great Lakes, picking up water all along the way. Finally it gets far enough north (usually starting about Minnesota) that it starts dumping all that moisture as snow, and too often a LOT! How high would the wall at the border need to be to stop that?

I've been to Detroit. If you get a chance to keep out the people, take it! Even if it means coping with all that snow you're getting off easy.

BTW, we get the same thing. A big cold wind blows down and across form the prairie provinces, hits the Great Lakes and picks up moisture that it dumps as lake effect snow on the southeast shores. You don't even need a "Colorado Low", any front that generates wind works. Buffalo gets buried in the stuff, but that's their fault for living in Buffalo.

Most importantly, Did Trump collude with the Russians to become King of Canuckistan?

To get Canadians to choose Trump as King would take a lot more than Russian collusion - like, never!

Occam's ..., yes, although we don't get that where I live (further west), I certainly do not want to be in the "snow belt" east of Lake Huron.
