    I would like to visit Canada

    I'll carefully script this request to accurately convey both my request and stay within the confines of the guidelines. I have a long held desire to visit Canada for the purpose of viewing that country and to see the results of the conservation efforts of Ducks Unlimited.
    I come to the members of this board as I have met several members, each exceeded my expectations. And, you know I'll be kilted.
    I can, but do not have to bring my dogs who also might enjoy a trip through upland fields and defiantly would enjoy seeing waterfowl.
    So if any like minded (sports)men enjoy said pastimes would entertain an American for a few days this fall, I would like to hear from you.

    Thanks

    David

    Translation

    I think David wants to go to Canada to hunt duck and is wondering if any of our Canadian Kilted Bretheren enjoy duck hunting as well, and if they might like to meet up.

    Cheers

    Hey Jamie - I'm glad you understood that....... I was wondering why he didn't just come out and say what he wanted to say?

    Ha, ha! That was very well-put, David. I am not a "sportsman", but I hope you find someone on the board who you can view waterfowl with!

    These questions about Canada were actually posted on an international
    Tourism Website.

    them die.

    A: Depends how much you've been drinking.

    Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the railroad
    tracks?

    of them in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax? (UK)

    Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada?(USA)
    A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Ca-na-da is that
    big country to your North . . . .oh forget it. Sure the hippo racing is
    every Tuesday night in Calgary. Come naked.

    name. It's a kind of big horse with horns. (USA)

    Actually, you can speak English anywhere you go. It doesn't mean anyone will understand you though.

    You can also speak Spanish, or French, or Swahili, etc.

    Canada looks better and better every day...

    I thought you were asking about getting you and the pups in and getting out...or rather getting back into the U.S. when done....certainly something to be sure of first.
