I guess my only issue is that the official head of state in Canada is also head of a State religion... which puts Canada on par with Saudi Arabia and Iraq, I guess.

Contrast this 'Murca where Presidents proclaim no religion but mask their preference by wrapping it in the flag and slathering it with Apple pie.

There's a city named for the British royals.

Windsor California?

...as opposed to the states of New York, the Virginias, Both Carolinas, Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia,

All named after British royals.

I won't even start with the cities, but I lived in a town called Frederick - named for either Frederick, Lord Baltimore, or Frederick, Prince of Wales.

All right,

We have a state religion says Lorenzo !

Maybe slow down on the bacon covered donuts you relate to in Portland and smell the coffee instead.

We're just a tank of gas away from Oregon and we don't bite. Come on up for a free education, Lorenzo.

Haha. If you had a decent hoppy beer I'd visit next week. It's fresh hop season here.

Look it up.

In addition to being a member of the Order of the Dogwood and , in British Columbia, " Mother of all People" your head of State's titles in Canada include 'defender of the Faith'.

Which Faith? There's only one she can be a member of.

Shhhhh, Jim !!!! Let Lorenzo believe we have a state religion.

IT's called "Hockey".

Snicker x3

Actually, only in the Winter. In the summer it's officially Lacrosse.

Lorenzo, don't fall for that 'Hey, sailor' line. They act all friendly
with the smiling Mountie touroid adverts but when you get to the endless
immigration queue ar the airport they get very snippy, or worse. They
weren't even going to let me in to see the rels last year! The little
sh!t wanted to know if I had a return ticket and you should have seen his
face when I answered "Why would I want to stay in Canada?" You'd have
thought I'd insulted The Bloody Queen! Then I said, "Fine, send me back
to Chicago, they've much better pizza." That must be the secret password
cause then they decided it might be OK to let the heathen in after all.

Yeah. Last time I went to Vancouver I got stopped at the border and the Mounty dude asks me if I've ever been to Canada before and what my business was.

I told him it was to spend obscene amounts of money and he was stareing at a computer screen that showed my visits.

It probably took a little longer, but I was welcomed to the Realm.

Before 1994, it was just Lacrosse. Hockey is the late-comer.

It was my sport.

Lorenzo,

IPA beer is so last week. Even the Canadian Lumbersexuals are escaping from the existentialism they created in order to be employable.

Their loss.

When you get to be my age being employable loses its charm, tattoos or no.

My homeland of Argentina's official sport is Pato (duck).

Sort of like Polo - originally played with a live duck as the ball.

Did you know that trap shooting with live birds was once an Olympic sport?
Must have been messy. Nearly 400 pigeons were killed in 1900

Canada should become the 51st state and get it over with. The only reason they havent been invaded by other countries is because they are hanging on tightly to our coat tails. Its time they do something for us. Maybe Trump will sort this out
