There a few thick patriots up here (too). But more than a few of us who appreciate independent thinkers.... Be careful Scott, folks might beg you to stay.

Clearly I had not been keeping up. American managers and Brazilian owners. Cool. Kinda like a streaming radio station out of California that introduces me to Canadian and Nordic music I have never heard before.

Frankly, I was always under the impression that Americans did deep-fried doughnuts as well or better than anybody else so..... unless you are lookin for "eh?" at the end of the sentence or about (aboot) pronounced in a strange way â no guarantees if the workforce is local â then you might be a bit disappointed.

If getting a donut at Arby's is exciting, then sure! Hard to imagine opening a donut shop anywhere there's ever been a Krispy Kreme. The sandwiches were maybe above Arby's but not Panera. That's all I got. Been to a Tim Horton's 3 times, maybe 4. Please don't ban me, Canada!

No resources? Hell, you have all the smoked salmon, power trio rock bands and Albertan oil sands we want. Unless you sell them to the Chinese instead, you rotters!
