Thanks for noticing your neighbors to the north. We feel loved. For anyone thinking of going, this is an excellent and progressive group to be involved with. They make a difference.
… a number of very exciting changes to the mandate and bylaws proposed throughout this past year.
Every time I contemplate escaping to Canada, the thought of what constitutes “excitement” up there does as much as the weather in keeping me south of the border.
Will they be providing cookies?

If Canada weren’t so goddamned big, I’d partake. I live on the West Coast though (and hate Toronto.)
There must be a Vancouver chapter I was participate in.
was = can. I just woke up and my brain is still predominantly turned off.
Actually, Rachel, there is a Vancouver branch of the CFI. Have a look here: http://www.cficanada.ca/vancouver
I’m not a wet coaster myself, but I’d go to the Big Smoke if I could get away for the day. I’m sure it’ll be a fine day.
Oh, and Pierce, remember that “exciting” is relative. After all, we’re the country that states “peace, order and good government” as constitutional principles! Must remember not to be rude, now!
ChrisG @ # 6 – you live in a country run by Stephen Harper, and see no call for rudeness?!?
I was under the impression the county wasn’t running too well with him at the helm, with knocks from the engine, puffs of black smoke from the stacks, and lots of water coming in.
@ Rachel Bronwyn: A little social experiment. Have you ever been to Toronto?
Pierce @#6 – Stephen Harper and his drooling minions provide more than enough rudeness to go around, thank you very much! I prefer scathing satire and aloof dignity rather than sinking to the same level as those poopyheads!
Hi everyone, there was a mixup with the facebook link. This is the correct url: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=103048039734092
Yes, I’ve been to Toronto. If I hadn’t I would lack the knowledge and experience upon which to conclude I hate it.
