The Border - Canada/United States of America

There is a border.

What I find so stupid - so dumb founded is who invented this system? If you invite Canadians to flap their lips, acknowledge them. Understand the geography, Canadians are not Americans.

Going to seek a lawyer, divorce pending, deeply.

I agree. If you're going to invite us and try to have your company grow here, doesn't it make sense to do some research and try to figure out what needs to be done differently in a foreign country? I wonder how they handle England?

there's a border?

seriously I totally see why you guys are upset, and I am upset for you. A bit of research on their part could go a LONG way.

My b/f lives in Canada ....... I HATE that border!!

Not only do they not understand their is a border, they DONT get that we dont all live in BIG cities.

I KNOW that y'all live far away from all the 'cool' places to shop. I know I do. heck, I have never even BEEN in a starbucks. OR to be honest, 95% of the stores they have GC for. So I know that if you live further out than me you un's up yonder are screwed.

I've never been in a Starbucks either Chelle- in fact I saw my first one in Syracuse a few weeks ago. I don't get out much and when I do I am very picky about where I spend my money. I can make 20 pots at home for the price of one of their cups. I think it's hard for city folks to imagine what life is like for us backwards hillbillies. The biggest thing in my little town? a toss up between Mc donalds, Dunkin donuts, and Aldi's. In fact that is the whole town.

Wait I lied, it is also home of the boxing hall of fame. Cool I guess, if you like boxing, lol. I have never been in it, and probably never will.

heck girl, we have a lowes, walmart, DQ, BK, Mcdonalds, sonic, family dollar AND dollar general!

but thts it! LOL

oh wait we do have dollar general and a family dollar, and a rite aid too. I don;t really live in town though, I'm out in cow country.

Chelle, you have it made!

We do not have lowes.

I am Canadian, reside in what is called the 'high country'. High meaning elevation, however, the #1 export from British Columbia is ... you know. It does not come in a box of 6 or 12. It grows wild and the dollars it brings for the province of British Columbia, well, it is not my figure of 36-24-36.

Well Bummers, Rebecca and all you other Canadians... I wonder too, why? But it's strange, on their home page, down at the bottom, they have 3 flags/country names... but yet it seems odd they really aren't conducting a lot of business in two out of the 3 countries listed.

Now imagine spending most of your life in a decent sized town, moving to a HUGE city, then back out in the middle of nowhere. LOL I'm now stuck with McDonalds, Hardees, and 2 gas stations, hell, we just got a grocery store a few months ago.

Oh and everything shuts down by 9pm.
