Ya it was fun to grow up here (Canada) in rural Alberta, BC or Ontario in the 60s...the socialist soviet state had not arrived and we were as ignored by our socialist polis as we were by the US...it was bliss being a "nobody" you were left alone...ignored by power politics....the only interest was from wealthy people wanting to visit or buy a piece of our rustic idyllic state...it was true freedom...a wonderful time to be alive. Rural values were Canadian values...before the onslaught of the soviet Kanikistani state.
Now, the tentacles of the statist trudeaupian soviet cabal are into what you own, behave, say, think, write and of course your pockets to the tune of 60%.....all we get for it is a bleak economic future and the coldest/longest winters on record.
This is one wild colonial lad that hates all the attention he is getting from the socialist cabal in Ottawa and the snub from wealth creators south of the 49th. I want to be "ignored" again...what the hell do I have to do to be left alone again???
Well I took the first step last week...I reapplied for my US passport ( My Mom was American) and I'm shopping for real estate in Texas...Corpus Christi, Galveston, Austin.
My first act as a US citizen and Texican (after I buy my house) will be to buy a Kimber custom 1911 and get a carry permit....A few weeks on a decent IPSC range...then off to the BLM boonies to dust some snakes, Javalina, sod dogs or any other 4 or 2 legged vermin that crosses the sights. When that gets boring of on the boats for Marlin or Jack fish...then I can ride my hog all year round....seems an even trade for trading in the snowmobile and an irreparably commie government.
Gawd I love being ignored by socialist bureaucrats...I think that's the best part of being American.....socialist bureaucrats are an endangered species in Texas.
Wish you all the best in Texas. I hope you find some of what you had growing up...freedom.
