A cruel truth

Overheard: "Well, if Scotland votes for independence from the U.K., what's to keep Canada from breaking off from the U.S.?"

To the person you overheard George, tell them not to worry. Canada is NOT going to break away from the United States, at least not until Yellowstone erupts and covers North America in molten lava and hot, choking volcanic ash. They have no need to worry about us becoming the separate country we already are so they can just sit back and get ready to enjoy the mass extinction of the human race.

Cheers! :-)

Scotland, o Scotland

As a person who is proud of their Scottish ancestry I've been following the referendum there tonight and I'm going to say it. I'm glad they stayed. Now though is the difficult part. The campaigning is over, the voters have spoken and its up to the elected leaders to turn their interpretations of what was said into concrete results. I can only hope that all involved can go ahead with wisdom and humility, and let what might have been go into the past so that everyone can walk together into the future.

Good luck Scotland! Much love from Canada tonight!
