You can lear [sic] (Hi, Stan!) a lot by reading… “This is the dynamic the economist Albert Hirschman warned about: That loyalty is what turns frustration into voice—the impulse to fix what is broken rather than flee. Today, exit is cheap and reversible. When taxes rise or services disappoint, the response is no longer to press for reform but to move.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_O._Hirschman__________________________________ Exit, Voice and Loyalty model (or hope Ted adopts you, James canvasback.) https://www.wsj.com/real-estate/mia...cVE7s7&reflink=article_copyURL_share

Sorry, Rhoads, I already got my immigrant. One is enough: ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/1fSYQpCq/IMG-0626.jpg) “Give us your best, your educated, your brightest, your hottest”…… Something like that. I don’t remember. Statue of Liberty speak. I do remember the pasty skinned maggot of a government perfunctory, with a bad comb over, telling me she was my problem at her immigration hearing, and there would be no assistance, medical or otherwise, and even if she ran off with the local Tren de Aragua branch, I was responsible for demonstrating she had health insurance, a roof over her head, and three squares a day, and if she got so much as a parking ticket to expect her to be deported. She took to American life like a baby duck to water. The notion of going out and actually hunting what you are going to eat is ‘kinda weird to her (city girl) but, she plays along: ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/sdDJgQrv/IMG-1144.jpg) ‘Gotta love a girl with a 16 gauge double on her arm. Best, Ted ___________________________________________________________________________ You know, Alberta isn’t all that happy with the notion of Canada. James might be just fine, there.

Sorry, Rhoads, I already got my immigrant. Don’t apologize to me. Wee Jimmy is the one in a pickle. You know, Alberta isn’t all that happy with the notion of Canada. James might be just fine, there. Nation building is somewhat more difficult than putting gas in a snowblower…. https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/1qpyc9r/op_explains_the_complexities_of_alberta_trying_to/__________________________________ Besides, Alberta doesn’t have a hockey club that will make it to the Stanley Cup either. What a tire fire in Toronto, eh Jimmy.

What a tire fire in Toronto, eh Jimmy. Alberta literally doesn’t have to do anything, besides quit communicating and cooperating with Ottawa. The Nation is built. An aircraft carrier parked off the coast wouldn’t help much (as if) and, besides, most of Ottawa’s Jeeps won’t start until spring, anyway. If then.

Anyone interested/considering joining James’s freeloading failed state it opened up to millions more people. https://immigration.ca/canadian-citizenship-by-descent-for-americans/Wings on the bubble of making the playoffs after their usual March swoon. Not going to be happy if the Jets get in and the Wings don’t. __________________________________ 🇺🇸🇨🇦 🇮🇪🇵🇱

You say that like it’s a good thing.
Now, if James were open to seeking refuge here, I’d be up for that.
Best,
Ted
