BTW on "waking up" to Canada....

I actually lived there as a kid(late 70s - Lachine).

A few close relatives graduated from this college called McGill- I've lost track of what countries they are now C-Suit'ing in ;)

And I have the dubious distinction of meeting JUSTIN Trudeau socially when I think he was a Senior in high school. This was about 1984-ish. I mouthed off to him also : I think I was 10-ish. Trust me if yo knew the conversation you'd say. "man, this guy hasn't changed!" lol

While cutting school (I lived in Michigan) my first booby-dancing place was in Windsor as it was a quick border crossing and I dutifully watched Hockey Night in Canada for decades.

Will be in Vancouver again this summer.

Yeah, I've stumbled on to a factoid or two about Canada.
