If I lived in the USA

This would be my yard sign.



My boss sent me the link to this video.  I haven't laughed so hard in weeks!

Sorry if any of this has been shared before; I might not have known because I tend to skip American political topics on this board.

When I saw your post title, I thought you were going to say "I would move to Canada" 
I'll have to watch when I'm home. My little 3S screen is tiny.

I've taken to collecting "Anyone else!" campaign signs/memes/logos this cycle...


















(And yours just got added to my collection...)

All good, but I especially like the last one....

I want the "none of the above" option

I want the "none of the above" option

Unfortunately, Dan, if enough voters choose that option we will likely be stuck with the worst of the above.

I like Gryphon's sign, but sadly looks like we'll be stuck with one or the other. Kinda like choosing between hospital food and airline food. I'll say this....there are some beautiful places in Canada I wouldn't mind living in. The weather is a bit rough in winter but after being stationed in northern Maine for three years I know I can handle it.

aroused over any of the choices for President put forth
by either party in the 2016 election year.

Is there a pill for that?

Not quite as funny as Canadian politics must be with parties like these:

Marxist–Leninist
Rhinoceros   
Communist   
Animal Alliance   
Marijuana   
Seniors

Southwestern BC... Long Summers, early Springs, late Autumns, only a few weeks of freezing weather or snow each Winter (except in the mountains) allows for riding or other outdoor activity at least 10 - 11 months of the year. Stopped off at Harrison Lake this past Saturday on a ride through the Fraser Valley ... 80 degrees taking in some sun at the beach

While many regions in Canada have a lot to offer in terms of geography, friendly people, and less polarization and conflict politically or otherwise, I'm sure people would find both advantages and disadvantages moving to Canada (check out the house prices here near Vancouver - YIKES!!!)....same as those who would choose to move to the US from Canada. The politicians and power brokers/lobbyists, and freeloaders here generally suck as well, maybe just in a bit politer and quieter manner than in the US and with less media coverage. The old sayings always ring true.... "the grass is not always greener..."  Just as Americans are hoping/wishing your political system could get back on track, most Canadians are too ... a strong and healthy USA benefits us as well

Well said Mike.

I try to stay out of online political threads because discussing politics is a lot like religion...I'm fine if people want to discuss, but when people try to convert me, I have an issue.

Having said that...current US politicians aside, I identify and relate to our American friends to a much greater extent than people (and politicians) in Eastern Canada, ie, Toronto, Montreal, etc. 

And Mike, what about riding on the prairies??? No pesky corners or curves, never wear out more than the middle of your tires, we all have low mile bikes because of our 6 month riding season. What's not to love.

Lol. ...I will get plenty of that in about 6-7 weeks when I head out for WV 
You still heading out this way this Summer? We're going to have to hook up one day.....

I was just out your way (Richmond) a couple weeks ago, my daughter was playing in the Western Canadian Ringette Championships. It rained. Then rained some more. One day it didn't rain, was just cloudy. We walked to the arena a couple times and I had no idea which direction I was going, no horizons or sun to be seen.

And yeah, wifey and I plan to head to Kelowna area this summer, unless the dollar keeps going up, we might go down to the States. Or maybe do both. Cheers.

Mike,
I too was out at Harrison Lake last Saturday afternoon. I should have called you to see what you were up to. Oh well, next time!!
