It's not about guns. It's about Congress waking up and doing the job
we're paying them to do. Can I get an Amen to that?

Ask the dummy who talks the most about guns in rec.boats. The answer's
at the end of his nose.....Harry!

Harry hasn't even posted to this thread, and ****heads on the
rampage.....again. Bitter old man.

Bitter is right. He's going to enjoying the taste of **** tacos for
the next eight years, if he lasts that long.

Agree with your banking system being stable.

However, I have a problem with your last statement. I live in
Seattle and we have some of the best coffee roasters in the country,
including one that's within minutes of our house. World famous and
for good reason.

I will admit to having **** beer prior to the arrival of micro brews
here but that's been addressed.

Tell us how your banking system works differently from American banks.

Fundamentally it boils down to a more conservative (small c), and more
risk adverse management/regulation culture that prefers long term
stability to quick buck. I heard someone refer to the sub-prime/
derivatives market that whacked us: Canadian banks were up to their
ankles, we were up to our necks.

Something else that is interesting, Canadian mortgages are not tax
deductible. Mortgages get paid down there. Here we double and triple
them up. That might of had an impact on the sub-prime crisis in itself.

Funny thing about the difference between American and Canadian
Beer.... Years ago (in the 80's) , my Ex and I hosted her Brother
bringing up their 21 pc. Big Band from the University of Kalamazoo.
Three young dudes thought they'd " go get some Canadian Beer " and
drink. The fellows went and bought (of all things ) some Bock Beer.
Really heavy stuff (black ) at about 7.5 % alcohol. At the time, it
was the heaviest stuff on the market. They didn't know what they were
getting into. Watched them drink the whole 24 between 3 of them. After
all was consumed, one guy wasn't fairing so well. His buddies were
standing within earshot, and I was listening to them say " Look at
Joe, he doesn't look too good". Next guy says " oh he's alright ".
First guy starts the " he's gonna puke" thing. This went back and
forth for about 3 minutes before the guy started turning green.
Eventually, the dude scrambles for the can. LMAO !!!

Probably a little tighter giving out loans... not one has *ever* gone
bankrupt.
