No, it's called 'rich people with boats'!

I didn't want to put my hand in my pocket for the rich boys. Children's cancer would have been a better cause.
Bring back Dennis Connor! At least he told the NZ designer where to go!

Things are quiet in Canada since Invercargill became so popular.

What's the northern most city in Canada? I wonder if they have wide streets?

Up here (Canada)
It's cold and I don't feel like playing my bass because my fingers don't want to move properly. I'll buy some fingerless gloves tomorrow.
I saw a polar bear today just outside Totonto. Toronto is a nice city, but very cold. There are a lot of Eskimos living in Toronto. Back in New Zealand we used to have a chocolate covered ice cream called an Eskimo Pie. They were simple but nice. I thank the Eskimo people for bringing me this little pleasure. I find it hard to imagine Eskimos eating much ice cream. I don't know why really. Maybe they do. I think they probably eat more fish. It must be hard cooking fish in the snow. I think that this is why a lot of Eskimos are now moving to Toronto. Even though I find Toronto cold, it probably seems warmer to them. I'm getting to really like the Eskimo people. I might speak to one soon. I assume that they speak Eskimo. I'll go to a bookshop and find a book that teaches you Eskimo.
Eskimo for beginners.
I know this much:

"Ooga" means "Good day"
and
"Eega" means "Good night".
They probably have a lot of names for fish. I don't mean for the different species. I mean for fish in general. They probably have quite a few ways of saying,
"Jesus, it's cold!"
Ah, yes, Eskimos are interesting people. I wonder if they have their own folk songs? Do they have their own instruments? They'd be instruments that are easy to play when your hands are cold.

Sorry to contradict you Ken, but they have very cold kitchens in Canada.

I've been thinking about this for quite a while now. In reality the border between these two countries is just a line drawn on a map. There would be lots of advantages if this merger were to take place. Here are some:

Former USA citizens could get cheaper snow ploughs because former Canada made heaps of these.
Former USA citizens could visit places like Toronto and Waterloo without needing to cross a border.
Former Canadian citizens could establish line dancing clubs.
The new flag could be like the old Canadian one, which is easier for children to draw, except the leaf bit would have to be simplified.
Former Canadian citizens would now live in a country with better basketball teams and wouldn't need to watch that silly ice hockey game.
The new combined country could have a new fancier name like 'Sparkle' or 'Razzle Dazzle' or 'Yes!".
The capital of the new country could be Waterloo, where it is cooler and politicians wouldn't get so worked up because it would be too cold.
There would be a bigger coastline for the coastguard to patrol, resulting in more jobs.
In former USA the North would become part of the South, so old Civil War divisions could finally be put to rest.
Illegal immigrants from Mexico would have far longer to walk to get to the north of the new country; they would see this as being too far and would be more inclined to stay at home.
There would be more states to compete with each other on the sporting field.
Now that cowboy and indian films are not as popular as they used to be, there would be a new genre available: Cowboys and Eskimos.

I must admit that I'm back in New Zealand but;
I was about to take a shower and (would you believe it?) there was a spider on the shower nozzle standing right in front of where the water comes out when the shower is turned on!
In my opinion (IMO - Ken's Corner speak) this spider, on this particular day, made a very bad decision that would have a severe impact on the rest of his life.
Are spiders in Canada this silly? I suppose they would wear protective clothing to keep out the cold, so they would appear bigger.
What happens to a spider after it disappears down the plug hole? Maybe there are 'special forces' spiders down there who rescue them. I hope so.
Good luck, silly spider.

I can't imagine flies in Canada (yes, I do know about snow flies).
If polar bears migrated south, would they be able to change colour?
Is there such a thing as the Arctic Symphony Orchestra?
Would Canadians still enjoy ice hockey if their country had a warm climate?
What part did Canada play in the American Civil War? Did they even give a ****?
Was Nanook of the North a Canadian citizen and why did he really need the 'of the North' title if he was an Eskimo?
Do Canadians keep pets like cats and dogs, or do they just have otters?
The old phrase 'a mounty always gets his man' doesn't work so well in our modern society.
Does Canada have its own culture or are they just cold Americans?
