Edmonton was clean and neat even in the downtown areas. |
I have only been into Canada for a few miles in Niagra falls and Sioux Ste. Marie.... but I also noticed the dramatic difference in cleanliness.
Those Canajuns shame us.  |
No freekin' kidding. Plus their impressive use of gravy is nothing to scoff at either.  |
I never ate there. BUT! I could use my vacation days to help Bacon Bits move..... |
I would use ANY excuse to visit Canada.
Sadly, it looks like McChord AFB near Seattle is off our list forever. *sigh*

A) Sue, just move to Texas. Not for any reason relating to healthcare, just cuz.
B) I know several of you don't believe it, but nearly any system of healthcare is better and more sustainable than the current one in the US today. /sorry, I'll save it for on topic
C) my parents are going to the eastern coast of canadia (doesn't it seem like canadians should be from canadia?) on a cruise in a few weeks. Looks awesome.
