White Christmas

Wow.. we are getting alot of snow this year! One thing about up here you can count on it! The seasons come like clockwork and there is a definate difference in Summer and Winter like about 60 degrees celcius at times. Well it hit hard and fast this year. Beautifull but c-o-l-d.

Fall leaves

Well being out in the country the dial-up connection is fritzing and the photos are slow coming .. also Being global warming I think we are going to have palm trees up here pretty soon....it was over 30( celsius) yesterday....
.its very nice up here now though the weather is odd for Canada.. I guess I'll have to pack in the dog-sled this year and not start building the igloo yet... many people are worried about the "climate change"..but between you and me I think Canadians are rather enjoying it!....
Maybe that's why the dollar is going up many see the writing on the wall and want a piece of the action.. Of course Alberta oil might have a bit to do with it...I feel a little sorry for those poor Polar bears though.

Canadian $ surpasses American $

Well here are those pics I promised...

Autumn leaves

I will attempt to send some pics of Canada......

Oh Canada

I realised after looking at my blog that it needs work especially with a name like Canadian Fish. I need to put Canada in the picture a bit more and stand true to that fair country of my expatriotisation( can you say that?with an s?)) seeing how all the Americans I know like to diss the place...I will say a few words on that grand countries' behalf.
We stand on Guard for thee.
.OH Canada..where the majority tax dollars flow towards social programs( like socialised medicine,childcare) and not towards the "defense budget"..
Oh Canada where the water is still pure and the land pristine and uncrowded ( relatively free from pollution).....a nature lovers paradise
Oh Canada .. the native home of Celine Dion
Oh Canada where we learn French from birth.
Oh Canada where the Border Guards welcome people with a smile.( no body cavity searching!).
Oh Canada where the term Red-Neck means you have a sunburn.(sans Alberta)
Oh Canada the great melting pot where the French and English cultures mingle magnificently...
Oh Canada that great peace-loving country to the north where igloos and dog-sleds gently grace the landscape in a kaleidescope of spectacular sunsets,forests and lakes.....
OH Canada We stand on Guard for thee!
