Some Islanders get real touchy about being called part of Nova Scotia

Well they can suck it.
Could they even survive without he rest of the province?
Good thing about Spring: Warmer temperatures, no winter blahs.
Bad thing about Spring: [B]The Insects Return.[/B]
Where is this spring you speak of? It was snowing again today.
It's gonna rain on Wednesday tho
Perfect weather for my last midterm.
The weather this year has been a roller coaster, I kinda like being able to walk around in a light jacket one day, then run into a snow storm the next.

I mean, in a future sense.

God no, culturally the island is pretty different from the rest of nova scotia

I don't, especially since my winter jacket broke and I'm too cheap to get a new one, even though I work at an outdoors store.

Good luck finding a job though. The East still has not recovered since the coal and cod industries collapsed in....the early 90's?

We've got a "canada" section in our liquor stores in virginia.
Do you have an "American" section at your stores?

Well the LCBO does have sections for wine from California and American Whisky labelled specifically as such.

We call it "water".

Try pounding a bottle of Knob Creek Bourbon and let me know if you can still stand up.
Bud is pisswater, but Americans make damn fine whisky and Michigan is the craft beer capital of the world.
Its always fun when you get the border guard with small dick syndrome.
Going to Bellingham to visit my friend and his boyfriend and the border guard is suddenly astonished people can have friends on another side of the border. After a good long wait in secondary while they searched through car with a dog and by hand,along with questions like who and where do I work for who pays my bills who pays my rent all plans were ruined.They also seemed increadibly interested in knowing how I knew the gay couple almost as if that was the actual issue they had.
You should of seen them when I came back with a carload of supercomputers from Boeing and no official paperwork for them.
Crossing back across the Border via plane they don't seem to give two shits
Its a lot easier to get back to Canada from the US, then it is to get to the US from Canada.
It takes like an hour+ to get through security in Toronto when flying to Boston.
Going to Halifax Via Boston, it was just a normal gate you would see when moving within the country.

My old roommate had a lot of fun stories about going through the US border. All the border guards hes met don't know a thing about Canada despite working on the Canadian border.

Dunno if it has anything to do with me being French or the Quebec border but I've experienced the opposite.
Entering the USA, the border guard is always smiling and cracking jokes with me and getting in is piss easy but whenever I come back to Canada, it feels like the border guard would revoke my citizenship if he had the power to do so every single time.
So now that I'm out of bed and showered, it's a lovely warm and sunny day that I will spend lounging on the deck in shorts.
How's Eastern Canada doing?
It's alright, -3 currently, nothing bad. It's going to be 10 this coming Tuesday and will only increase from there so I'm excited about that.
It snowed a little bit over night, or in the morning, not a whole lot. barely covers anything.

High of 3, cloudy. Wind's not too bad, and we just finished a 3-day snow system.

That was like the last time I went to Michigan. US border guard opnes with "So how much drugs you guys got on you?" and ends with "Don't cause too much trouble now."
The Canadian guy had just started his shift at 1PM on a Wednesday. He asks us how much alcohol we have. "About a 24" wasn't good enough. "What do you mean about a 24, they don't sell 24s in the States. HOW MUCH BEER DO YOU HAVE?" So my buddy has to turn around and count all 23 beers we had to give him an exact number. I swear if he had any tobacco we'd have been sent to secondary. At least he didn't make us pay for the extra booze, since I had 2 bottles of whisky and my buddy had a bottle of rum on top of the beer he had. My buddy was also only 20 at the time, but since we were entering Canada the guard didn't care. It was my booze until the border, and his booze at it.
