The good thing about (or is that 'aboot'?) O Canada is that it's easier to sing than The Star-Mangled Spanner. What was Francis Scott so Keyed up about anyway? The Brits were just holding a fireworks display! :grin:

Oh, and in colonial terms, Oztralya is Canada's little brother - and just about as annoying sometimes! But like most siblings, we eventually get along (till they sneak into our room and steal our rocks!).

You can't blame us for this one :wink:

Post by: LowRyter on January 26, 2018, 04:58:45 PM: when thinking about a supercontinent, the earth must've been rotating like an unbalanced tire. Shaking the continent into pieces to correct the wobble.

Canada has a history of being open to those seeking refuge, even when they come from the US....
