The state of New York is close to the population of Canada as well correct?

Did you know that Saskatchewan has lost population for nearly two decades now? I will be adding one very soon.

Did you know that Regina was originally going to be in the Qu'Appelle Valley.
Fort Qu'Appelle is there now.

*whips out calculator*

Russia has 17,075,200 sq Km, 144,978,573 population = 8.490 people/sq Km
Canada has 9,976,140 sq Km, 31,902,268 population = 3.197 people/sq Km
USA has 9,629,091 sq Km, 280,562,489 population = 29.136 people/sq Km
China has 9,596,960 sq Km, 1,284,303,705 population = 133.824 people/sq Km
India has 3,287,590 sq Km, 1,045,845,266 population = 318.119 people/sq Km
on the other hand, Monaco has 2 sq Km and a population of 31,987....

Did you know.........


Before thermometers were invented, brewers would dip there thumb or finger into the liquid to determine the ideal temperature, neither too hot nor to cold, for adding yeast. From this we get the phrase " Rule of thumb!"


Did you know..........

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is commonly believed to be the only english sentence to include all of the letters of the alphabet. However typesetters have another such sentence: " Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."

Rained in is more like it..... It's not the typical Vancouver drisel either. I figure if this keeps up I'm going to have to trade the truck in on a boat.
As for Waco, I need to vote on the 23d in our federal election. The liberal party of canada is proposing a handgun BAN..... Wooo Hooo!!! Considering the Vancouver police department has stated 90+% of the handguns that the VPD have confiscated have been illegaly smuggled from the states. I doubt this ban will do any good.....

You're right...you need to stay there and vote. You guys sure have a messy gun situation up there. It's amazing how there are so many guns down here, and the bad guys are the one's that usually use stolen guns in a crime.
