How on earth to keep out the likes of Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and K D Lang and even GRU subscribers? Yeah, let's build a wall.

Theresa May is setting up a wholly owned govt subsidiary which will liaise with Hungary in giving out advice.

Sylvia, stop larfing, this is a serious matter.

I haven't a clue what you are talking about.

I like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and k d Lang :-D

Where I live the border is a river and it's very wide. I wonder how they plan to build a wall on it? And we're happy to keep our Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and K.D.Lang. They can have Celine Dion though.

k d Lang does the best version of 'Hallelujah', after Leonard of course :-D

Especially for Bob

:-)

:-( :-P Lets just hope they don't make us pay for it too.

I would think it would be really hard to build on a river or the Great Lakes.

If people want KD Lang they can have her........ free

According to my German friend, there is a joke doing the rounds in her homeland. Why do the Chinese always look happy? Because they still have their wall.

That's very generous of you RMS. :-D

I don't normally argue with Rose but this is the second best version of Cohen's masterpiece.

I don't normally argue with Guinevere .....but..... ;-)

I don't normally argue with anybody but I can't stand Hallelujah by anybody :-D

the Guardian link had a link to an article about a good song though, that I think SylviaInCanada will like since she is a scientist

....................


I agree, that's a GREAT song :-D



and it's the good old Republicans who want to wall in the US .......... one to the south and one to the north.

Next thing is they'll have to work out how to wall off the Pacific and the Atlantic.


............... they're just ignoramuses pandering to the even more ignorant.

>>> Next thing is they'll have to work out how to wall off the Pacific and the Atlantic.<<<

very funny
:-D

The Americans don't realize that we Canadians are expert in tunneling under walls.

Contrary to what was portrayed in their movie :The Great Escape" there were no Americans involved. Those brave men were Brits and Canadians. No Steve McQueen with a motorcycle!

Let them build their wall. Mind you it's going to take a little while to build a five and a half thousand mile wall!

under or over the rivers??


who gets the river if it has to be built on one bank rather than the other

what about those towns all officially US towns where the border runs through the centre of town??

There is one town where the border runs through someone's house ..... basically he is awake in one country and sleeps in the other

Or there is a theatre or community centre in another where the stage is in one country and the audience sits in the other.

sorry, it's a combined Library and Opera building ........

Where I live they'd better build it on the American bank so that I can continue to sit on the deck of my favourite restaurant and gaze out to the maginificent St. Lawrence.

:-D


and just what would they do about Point Roberts in BC???


It's US territory, but the only access is either by boat or small plane, or through Canada.

The kids go to school in the US ............ they have to bused up into BC , then turn east and then south to re-enter the US through the Peace Arch border crossing.
