It's kind of nice being next to you guys. We get many cultural and
economic benefits without the guns, crime and uber-right wing
politics. Plus we have socialized medicine and a decent social safety
net.
We get to be smug and feel superior but we also reap the benefits of
proximity.
I know your post was humour but I think a better analogy than living
next to the Hell's Angels clubhouse was made by our late Prime
Minister Pierre Trudeau: Living next to the US is like a mouse
sleeping next to an elephant. The elephant may intend no harm but the
mouse needs to be aware of its every twitch and movement. To lack
such awareness might lead to being crushed.
Cheers,
frank
And how did y'all show your gratitude for all the wonderful benefits you've
derived from living "next door" to us?
Sent us William Shatner!
We also sent you Dorothy Stratten, but you did not take good care of
her. No point sending you anything that we care about you damaging.

Paul Snider was also from Vancouver.
