Before I retired, my Engineering/Quality manager was a Canadian.
From Guelph (I guess that qualifies). He's not going back either.
Not only came to the U. S. but to the deep south. Talk aboot culture
shock, eeh!


Some people value cash over quality of life...... Quality Control is a
thankless and stressful job. Everyone hates you eventually... except the
client if you have done your job properly. I've been to almost every state
in the union many moons ago..... once was plenty.... I can't see any
reason for a return visit. Mind you the USA of circa 1980 was a much
different place than it is now.

...and it's "Eh!".... Ya'll! One of these days you Yanks will learn how to
pronounce the letter "R"... maybe.

Dang.... you're right Vito! I noticed that annoying habit of Yanks to add
the "R" after an "A" at the end of a word. So when Bobsprit says the word
"Cuba"... it sounds like "Cubar"....
