    I assume you are referring to the comment in the previous post that does appear on its face to be "racist gibberish" that has nothing to do with the topic if this thread. Perhaps the author of that post would like to clarify. This is not Facebook or a gilet jaunes march.

    Here is a calming YouTube video of northern lights in southern Alberta, where one would not expect to see northern lights at all:

    I must admit to my brother Canadian drivers that I worked for a Canadian company based in Burlington, ON that hired Americans at a lowered rate. This was pre-NAFTA time period and TECHNICALLY, we worked for an American as the company had an "office" in NH. And I must say, the Canadians made better money and better benefits (we had none) than the US drivers. Surprisingly, we all worked well together and there was no animosity, at least that I saw.

    Bottom line, IMHO, Canadian carriers for the most treat their drivers better than US carriers. I know there are exceptions (see Humboldt accident), but if I had to choose, I'd choose Canada. AND, I'd rather live in Canada, which is why I inquired about the possibilities. And my real estate taxes exceed $10K! I know the cost of living will be different and there are HST and GST taxes, but I think my family and I would be better in Canada. And I would contribute to any company immediately to any company without being a drain on social systems.

    Is this your go to rebuttal? That’s really weak considering your speaking to an indigenous.

    How about I post pictures the next time? With carrier names and numbers?

    Will that make you feel better?

    Hell, I can do video. Might take a bit. And I would make #### sure I said NOTHING in the posting.

    Is that why Quebec is crying about the 11,000 that jumped the border illegally last year? Their words, not mine.

    While over 500,000 hit the US? And are still here.

    Seems like you guys are not near as kind hearted as you think you are.

    I’m just sayin

    Be kind, and quit using fake rage and bull #### name calling to shut down a legitimate discussion.

    It’s called race baiting.

    God forbid you say people who run into the arms of the rcmp rather than cross at a designated crossing be treated by the same criteria for entry. The way it is setup now it incentivizes them to cross illegally. Which puts those wishing asylum/refugee status/immigration at a disadvantage.

    But that would be racist.
