Midsummer, might as well talk politics

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

With all due humility they should BEG the Great Strangelove to set foot on their soil. 8-)

Having said that, I'd be fine with them taking the batons to those going down for eggs + gasoline + whatnot.

The Great Strangelove never crosses the line and when he does he soars...

The United States and their border security can go fuck themselves

There is nothing south of the 49th worth the price of the privilege of being insulted by jackboots in flak jackets.

I don't even like American beer...

I've always had a tougher time with Canadian Customs and Immigration than the US guards. When I lived in Jamaica, I regularly looked at projects in Central America and was flying regularly Kingston-Miami/Houston-Tegucigalpa/Panama City/Managua and never had an issue clearing through US Customs or Immigration in Miami. Flying back to Vancouver once a year and having to clear Canadian Customs and Immigration in Toronto was always a bit of an ordeal and meant an extra hour or two in the airport. I finally asked one day, "young single male travelling alone after an extended time in a drug source country....." I fit their profile, though the US would look at my work permit and business cards and send me on my way.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Jesus that provincial election is coming fast.

Hopefully the citizens of BC reward Christie and the Liberals for a job well done over the last 15 years.

Four more years! Four more years!

Sing it ukcanuck.

The Fed's Trans Mountain decision is fantastic for her. Once she and the Feds announce the 5 vague condition fulfillment, she's solid throughout the interior that voted her to power last election.

Opposition to Trans Mountain is in urban Vancouver, Vancouver Island and along the coast. The home of the vegan welfare wagon burning union. She'll frack 'em by the pussy.
