So... a "potentially catastrophic" hurricane is approaching, and you
guys'
biggest worries a
1. a boat show
2. a football game, and
3. Disney World.

Good to see you have your priorities straight.

The caring about human life and homes is obvious to most here. So until
you
and your Country have gone through the series of natural disasters we
have
suffered in just the past few months..............shut your pie hole.

We DO have many natural (and un-natural) disasters up he floods,
ice-strorms, earthquakes, fires... you guys just don't hear about them.
Next time a forest fire is threatening a town, I'll call you to help me
fight it.

Fair enough, as long as you pay for airfare and room/board.
We also get hit by the odd hurricane in my home port...

Long term residents of Toronto will also remind you of Hurricane Hazel

We don't hear from them because they are not major disasters Lloyd. Hell,
losing old man Herman's house in a wind storm is probably a major
catastrophe for your town.

If you or Don can show that your Country (or any Province) has suffered
hundreds of deaths and billions of dollars in property damage ($750 million
in losses to recreational boats just with Katrina) in the past years then
you can start jumping on us about worrying about losing more lives and
personal property at such silly things as the Ft. Lauderdale boat show or a
Disney Cruise.

BTW: When was the last major catastrophic earthquake in Canada Lloyd?


Probably when I took a spill skiing at Whistler!
