Most think Wexit is a terrible idea, but the concept could divide Conservatives.
Another Con schism would be great!

Moving back to Ontario from Oregon at the end of this month. We're packing up a uhaul, towing a vehicle and my wife is driving our second vehicle with our two children. Our daughter is immune compromised and i'm terrified to make this journey across the US back home... but not as terrified as I am to stay in this crazy shit storm.
It will take about 6 days to drive home. We have to quarantine for 2 weeks once we get back. And i've been advised to remove the US plates from our vehicles so they aren't vandalized.
I moved away from Ontario over 20 years ago to pursue life in the mountains of BC. Somewhere along the way i got seduced by interesting design gigs at Apple and Nike. But i could not be happier to return home, help out my mom, live a simpler life, and shovel my goddamn driveway 3 times a day for 7 months of the year.
See you soon my Canadian friends.

Anyone else worry that as the US ship sinks we're going to let ourselves get dragged down too instead of cutting the ropes?
- No worries, our fearless captain has already abandoned ship.utopian
- From what I know about Canada, it's on my top 5 countries to move to in case of emergency. The other 4 are New Zealand...grafician
- i_monk, I kind of agree. But we are so intertwined it'll be like trying to untangle a thousand lines while we're going under.ben_
- May not even be able to cut them all in time.ben_
- fuck it, just build a wall alreadygrafician

- I think about this often, I think if a civil war breaks out again, we’ll be dragged in as well_niko
- In the event of a 2nd civil war I think we'd be a refuge not a target. Which side is going to expose their flank to the other by attacking us instead?i_monk
- Canadians have a long history of realizing you never count our US cousins out, never write them off. The US is very resilient and has had many comebacks.********

First of all Thanks to all you QBN canucks that posted nice things about our journey home on my last message.
The journey is done. We arrived yesterday after 6 days of driving through Oregon > Idaho > Montana > North Dakota > Minnesota > Wisconsin > Michigan > Ontario.
To say that was intense would be an understatement. I was driving in a 26 Haul towing a vehicle while my wife drove our two children in our other vehicle. We ate all of our meals on the side of the road, we didn't enter a single public washroom, i disinfected our hotel rooms before my wife and kids entered them. It was probably all over kill, although the amount of people not wearing masks in public spaces made me feel like it was probably worth while.
Highlights included a seeing a sweet old man with a big white beard and an SS Tattoo on side of this neck and swastika on the other. And also cooking cheeseburgers for my family at 9:30 at night in the parking lot of the mariott hotel in Duluth Minnesota.
We crossed the border yesterday and made it back to my home town and are now in quarantine until the 14th of september. Now i will just sit here and check all of our temperatures every 5 minutes until that day.
Feels good to be back in the great white north. Can't wait to go dip my toes in Georgian Bay.
- Welcome back! I was just at Killbear, my first time seeing Georgian Bay.i_monk
- Welcome back :) reach out if you need anything. Sounds like you guys can have a well deserved rest nowGnash
- Care for some LiChess?grafician
- Not overkill. This is how we stay alive!nb

Perhaps a QBN meetup.ideaist - @ideast I remember spending time over your way camping and hiking the caves and bluffs near Singhampton. What a beautiful spot. Would love to get together.bogue
- I put an offer on a building in singhampton 2 years ago :) They didn’t accept my bid :(Gnash
- That's a hell of adventure, glad you made it safe.garbage
- Gnash7
- They were great all the way through, what a series and what a career for these two_niko
- never seen a episode...
good for them tho.pango - I watched the first episode and bailed.CyBrainX
- I loved it. those sctv kids can do no wrong by meGnash
- < I had the biggest crush on her sister. I used to go to her brother’s speakeasy all the time on the off chance she’d show upGnash
- wait... emmy happened?pango
- I only watched one episode, didn’t notice any jokes or humorous bits. Was confused. And I’m a huge fan of these two!nb
- great show... worth it for the 'moira-isms' alone. real family show. even the kids' romantic storylines were done so well they didn't annoy the shit out of me.kingsteven
- i think the emmy was for most gratuitous use of monochromatic color by the wardrobe deptimbecile
- The first season is a bit of a slog, put me off for years, but worth getting through.i_monk
- The real miracle here is a show getting legs in Canada and beyond (Internationally) and for that alone, the Levy family should be VERY proud.ideaist
- I tried this show 3x, never getting past the 1st episode. Then a year later I stuck with it, about to wrap it up actually, and I can say it deserves Emmys.monospaced
- Point is, if you just watch the first episode, I don't blame you for not getting into it. It isn't enough, and it takes the first handful of episodes to catchmonospaced
- I fell asleep just looking at the photo.utopian
- I'm in the same boat as everyone else. Didn't get into it for years. Now i'm cranking through it and can't get enough. Catherine O'Hara is absolutely insane.bogue
- I love that "David" is used to punctuate so many jokes in this show. Well-deserved.garbage
- Awesome show! Great cast!Krassy
- The entire O’Hara family is pretty awesomeGnash

Cornish hens, roasted sprouts with tahini and lemon dressing, lemongrass mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, beets, sweet potatoes and turnip in garlic and rosemary, stuffing and soft white rolls. Not bad for a pandemic year. Preserved lemons, where have you been all this time?
