... and having lived my whole life in Ontario but also having spend a lot of my childhood visiting family members in Michigan*, to me, the marked contrast between downtown Detroit & - forget just Northern! - most other parts of Michigan goes well beyond anything we have on our side of the border - LOL!


... and, no, we're not offering a returns policy on your Governor.

* so, always a Tigers fan prior to us getting the Jays back in the late-70's.
Loved Al Kaline, eh!

No fair! Detroit doesn't count. That's kind of like holding all of Indiana accountable for Gary.

Actually, I love Canada, and I love living close enough to decide--on, literally, a moment's notice--to pack up and head for the Falls or Toronto for an overnight. I can't wait until my kids are older so we can go camping up through Ontario and Quebec, like I did growing up.

There are a lot of differences between Michigan's bigger cities and Ontario's counterparts, certainly, but are smaller towns are really quite alike. Except for the whole metric thing.
