Guys, I appologise for Canada's prime minister not backing the USA in this war. A lot of us feel we should be right in there with you. Sorry again.<br /><br />Gary

Re: GULF WAR

No apology needed. Our politicians don't always represent our feelings either. Just remember him at the next election. BTW, have been to Halifax several times and it's a beautiful city on the water. Liked the people too. Wasn't it Boston that the citizens of Halifax pitched in to help out after a storm some years ago. Don't remember exactly.

Re: GULF WAR

the first time i saw someone here from NS, i didn't know anything about it, other than its above michigan... i think the last people i would ostrasize would be the canadians. just IMHO<br /><br />i'm already tired of worrying about who means what. i think we're the ones that shine, and who will need to kissup to others, and i don't have a problem with either. i guess its just diff strokes for diff folks. i believe in giving 2nd and 3rd chances in some situations, and the political bluntness of our leaders has offended many. i hope everyones' leaders look at it as what it is. our leaders took a hard hard stance, so what? it was very needed in this term. i like it, others don't. <br /><br />now we've got to stick together, so whether its via 1 person at a time or a whole country, that's fine with me. thanx :D

'thumbed' all day,, no ride.. repitched the tent & slept for the 2nd nite.. broke camp.. thumbed all mornin' .. finally a car came in sight.. <br /><br />(pause,, in hitch-hikin',, you can tell if'n a car is goin' to give ya a ride.. even before it stops.. karma-o-the-road..) <br /><br />i knew the car was goin' to stop,,the first i'd seen of it..i was finally goin' to get a ride outta there..thank the lord ,i packed food,water & a little stove in my backpack..i woulda 'freaked' if i had to spend another nite in the same spot.. <br /><br />sure enuff,, it did stop.. an they were all YELLIN' my name & wavin',,before the wheels stopped.. <br /><br />they knew me..!! WHAT DA HECK..!! i was in the 'twilight zone'..my heart stopped..WHAT DA HECK..!! <br /><br />they were some folks i had worked with as a dishwasher in a restaurant back in bar harbor.. they quit also ,, an took a car trip around nova scotia.. unbenounce to me.. <br /><br />that was just one of many 'odd' experiances i had on that trip..<br /><br />but most nites,, my last ride wouldn't wouldn't take me sleepin' out in a tent in some strange woods or hedgerow by the road an would invite me home to his family an a home cooked meal.. <br /><br />you folks were very friendly an warm to this YANK.. i appreciate it,, an will never forget it...
