Canada is no Mecca of freedom. One of the enlightened border guys once
took my buddy's Swiss army knife away from him because it was a weapon.
Right. Damn things aren't cheap, the bastard probably has it to this day.
I don't think there's a better choice than to stay here and fight for
freedom against the forces of the evil empire. It may be a losing battle
but the accomodations are pretty good.
