United Empire Loyalist - Wikipedia

Absolutely! We wear it as a badge of honor here, U.E. United Empire. Ontario was founded by Loyalists, in fact the original founders of Niagara on the Lake were the families of Butler's Rangers.

I wish I could live somewhere that didn't have -30Cs for a month and limited snow, but as my ancestors got kicked out of Boston in 1776, I didn't have much say in it!

I pick up sheets, 2'x8' in various thickness from my local building supply store. They have various insulation ratings, and I find the higher the rating, the higher the density of the foam.

Ten years ago I somewhat famously said the following -

β€œCanadians are polite but they are not nice. They drink. And they will cut your throat. My God, how do you think they survive on the prairie?”

Like many of us, Sadie the dog hides from the news of the day, while Tigger and Britney give no fucks.

Never saw that bridge, but found the abutments while investigating the Battle of Queenston Heights. My father walked across it with his Regiment one year during Militia camp.

Blasting Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division at the moment. Driving back from the Doctors I was playing Technique by New Order. Unreal how what is essentially the same group can be so different.

I used to have this version on my bedroom wall. I still would, but the missus is more a Depeche Mode fan. That said, the White Ensign flies at my house on Trafalgar Day.
