yep, but I value his experience for having made mistakes...grey hair don't come for free. If anybody has a handle on things it would be him.

You know, I see Canadians as the salt of the earth. Hockey players brought up in Canada break down their bodies to win a Stanley cup, get a few thousand dollars in playoff share, and are happy to let the owners walk away with millions for giving them the chance at the ultimate (to them) in braggin rights. Alan Eagleson and the owners stole our pension money, but dog gone it he promoted hockey eh..what a character.

Canadian resource workers, bust their tail 24/7 on a project, live away from their families in tents and trailers and above taverns, for the chance to drive trucks and 4 wheelers into the ground, bang rocks and pipes, drink and fight in bars, and are happy to let the multinationals walk away with billions, but by god my boys are all workin', their trucks are paid off and the hunt camp's got a new fridge and steel roof.

Canadians tough it out, make do, make the best of it, and the money boys take advantage of this.
