Hey Mike: No flame here. Looks like we agree on something else beside
what's a great radio. In 1970 I bought some land in Canada to avoid
America's last great mistake (and one I wish we had learned at least a
little from). I never did move there (long story), but I was bascially
as impressed as you are by the civility of the Canadian people I met in
several trips there that year.

I grew up in NY City also (Bay Ridge Brooklyn, Where they cheered Peter
Boyle as "Joe" on the Big Screen in '70)). You??
(PS: Still loving the Sony D!).

You think all of America is like NY? It not.

Not by a long shot.

It's not like LA or SF either.

Yes Steve and it's not like several other cities packed full of miserable
aholes.

I've met some very pleasant New Yorkers in the past. Actually, never met
one that was rude. Only been there twice, but never met any bad 'uns.
Probably, I was only in "nice" areas, though I did go to New Jersey, which
was okay re people too. I think big cities breed impatient people and then
leads to rudeness and other bad behaviour.

I thought you can only "lease" the Crown's land.
You can't own it in perpetuity - please correct me.
Perhaps that applies only to "Das Territories"?

No, you can own land. There is Crown land, but that is mostly isolated and
about mineral rights. The Crown (i.e., gov't) has to release the land for
development and then it can be bought or sold. It is possible to go north,
build a cabin and live in it. If you're isolated, no one will bother you.
You might have an RCMP visit you for coffee and to see what you're doing
(e.g., are you harming the environment), but that's about it. Been there,
done that. It's the locals who might vandalize the cabin when you're gone
that has become a problem in the age of snowmobiles, fast boats and beer.
