There is a commercial on Canadian TV regarding identity theft. It features an American dressed as a mountie, sitting on an "antler cow" (moose), holding a bottle of "tree sauce" (maple syrup), talking about a game of "skatey punchy" (hockey) and bragging how he had stolen a Canadian's identity. Now, he's Kyle, from Manitouba. Cheers. Edited December 14, 2018 by Queenmandy85 Quote A Conservative stands for God, King and Country

I also assume that Manitouba is a misspelling of Manitoba, lol. Edited December 16, 2018 by JamesHackerMP Quote "We're not above nature, Mr Hacker, we're part of it. Men are animals, too!"

Queenmandy85 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Posted December 16, 2018 You nailed it. . The one little hiccup for Canada was we (the Federal Government and the Provincial Governments) could not agree on an amending formula for the constitution (the British North America Act of 1867). It took until 1982 to get agreement. Even then, Quebec refused to sign on and still does. Life is never dull.

JamesHackerMP Posted December 17, 2018 Report Posted December 17, 2018 you too, thanks! Quote "We're not above nature, Mr Hacker, we're part of it. Men are animals, too!" "I know that, I've just come from the House of Commons!" [Yes, Minister]
JamesHackerMP Posted December 17, 2018 Report Posted December 17, 2018 Just looked up the Canadian "constitution" on wikipedia. What surprised me is that there really is no such single, unified document; it's in pieces. A bunch of them. Interesting how in democracies, the law is written to the advantage of lawyers.
