crystal methamphetamine yes...
and actually..(OK is...out there? lol) anyway..you and I could possibly know the same one...
it's been a big problem in Ok..for 8/10 yrs..and the feds. finally recognized it about 3/5 yrs. ago...
they call it crank because the bikers kept it hidden in the crankcase...
mini thins, etc. are now illegal in Ok..and some sinus meds you have to sign for because they contain pseudoephedrine which was the one of the main ingredients..along with the starter they use to crank over diesel engines...and ether...
when they bust a lab, they call in hazmat...it's a toxic waste site.
if it wasn't for cranksters...the Mexicans would not have the market they do for valium and *****...
you know bathtub crank is cooking if you live close to it..because of the smell of ether in the air.
last I heard they were using embalming fluid, also....
nasty business....

We have a little bit of everything in Canada - illegal aliens, meth, bikers, pirates, Buddhists, rightwingers, lovers, poets, Parrotheads and *****, doctors, beer drinkers, visionaries, gun lovers, troops deployed to Afghanistan, live protesters, dead soldiers, media spin doctors, fun-loving concert goers, hippies, crooked politicians, dreamers, and doers of great things . . .
It's fine here.

Just asserting that Canada is NOT the land of milk and honey. We have many of the same problems, and even a Dubya wannabe as PM right now, although in a minority government. We cope.

You mentioned the Right wingers........but did you mention the Left wingers by accident or coincident, or are they not there? You also left out the French Separatists.
I really doubt Canada has more ILLEGAL aliens from Mexico and perhaps other countries than America has.
Do you remember when "The Canadian Wall" was damaged and do you remember who restored it or paid for the restoring of it?
As for all the rest, Like I said before, people are people.....NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO.
I am not trying to say Canada is bad by any means. Nor am I saying it is the Utopia of the World. As you admited,it has it's own fair share of problems as a nation and a country. Canada is Canada and long may she always be such a country and Ally.

We have them all - rightwing, leftwing, moderates, apoliticals . . .
We struggle, but we are not under such a microscope as some other nations, especially the US.

I didn't know the guy- one trip to OK was enough!- but Rob grew up in Cache, and like I said, knew him growing up. He did comment that the dude always scared him. A guy I went to elementary school with got busted for meth, then ran and got arrested while speeding through TN- not sure where he thought he was going, but he was the kid that ate a lot of paste!- so we compared stories.
I know you had to sign for Sudafed in Indiana now, and there was something posted in the pharmacy here (but they may just keep it behind the counter), but there is certainly a crackdown.
And I don't think they busted as many as many labs as they extinguished. Scary stuff.

I know Canada has it's own problems as every country in the World does, along with their own share of ( PICK YOUR GROUP).
Countries are made up of people. People are individuals. No doubt in some countries you have to look to find individuals, that believe differently, because of their Goverment or what have you. I have no doubts that such people are there and they probably keep their opposition/displeasure to the popular "goverment" opinion quiet for the most part, rather than face the certain consequences.

Just what I'd expect a clever Canadian to say in order to halt the coming invasion. But you sly Canadians with your monopoly on the funniest comedians, the tastiest beer and the best-looking women in the world are gonna have to come up with something better than that to stem the flow of American illegals across the longest undefended border in the world!

The TASTIEST BEER? Best looking women in the world????
You really have not been around much have you?
Obviously you are not very aware of Canadian and US relations either. Though that is no real surprise.

A Dubya wannabe maybe ... but I'm pretty sure that you have a lot fewer landing craft, so less potential for damage

Well don't worry - I may have been born in Toronto, Canada but I keep telling Immigration I am an "illegal alien" from Key West FLA and that the Canadian Government should pay to send me back to Key West!! One day hopefully this "ploy" will work.
As for tastiest beer, I cannot argue there, we do have some awesome beer!
Best looking woment....hmm that can be argued...but I can tell you in Montreal there is a very disporportionate amount of awesome looking women there!

Considering Canada has been our ally for so many years.......

-> I still personally feel the USA and Canada are best of allys/friends and no President/Prime Minister can change that...ok we have both had a real "loser or 2" in the top role but overall I think the American and Canadian people know how generally good natured we all are.
-> Remember though if you are coming up to Canada you better be prepared for Back Bacon breakfasts and Tim Hortons doughnuts!!
-> Why did we allow running back Ricky Williams to come and play in the Canadian Football League this year? (It has more grass than an NFL field!)
I would LOVE TO!! I have no idea when I will be up that way again, but I always had a great time there!
As you said Canada is the only or perhaps a few of the only country's to ever pay America back in full and has stood beside through thick and thin.
Our Countries are no doubt the best of friends!
I enjoyed all of my visits and stays in Canada. ( I did not mean to be insulting Canada as a whole or a nation or a group,,... just socialized medicine and the long waits for health care and WHY it is not as good as it sounds or as some people believe such to be.)
I love back bacon and the beer and of course the friendly people there ( well outside the FRENCH ONLY SNOBS/twerps. I wonder if they realize how much money they cost Canada or at least their Province, not that they care at all!!!) but I did meet some very nice shop owners in that area who did help me out. I will forever be thankful to them for their kindness and help. Unfortunately,I have forgotten the name of the place over the years and I would be afraid to mention it in public if I did. Things were quite "sticky" at the time ( I guess they still are) but that is NOT all of Canada!
Just like anywhere else people are people no matter where you go!!!
Anytime you want to come down for a visit , come on down, just let me know when, is all you got to do.
We can find something good to grill ( seafood and/ or beef) and have several different beers or other adult beverages of choice, and a lot of Buffett, and some live entertainment . Maybe even get some time on the river or elsewhere. BE SURE TO BRING YOUR CAMERA, ( film/extra memory and batteries....)
Thanks Sam!!
You are always welcome to come up to Toronto for a visit! I can bbq like the best of them!
Just remember when you come up to Toronto you gotta become a hockey fan (at least while you are here
) and also remember that we don't like the Montreal Canadiens (NHL), New York Yankees (MLB) and Jimmy Buffett always sells out or Molson Amphitheatre for his shows!
