1:02 am

grannyrose

hmmm.... reading time.... after I have eaten myself to a standstill Christmas Day I will have lots of time. My part in the celebrations will be done. Then Boxing Day lunch with 20+ people at our local pub. All my family are gathering together. Should be so much fun. No cooking, no washing up, no cleaning.

I wish Canada didn't make it so difficult to emigrate to

6:05 am

saanichcat

Jayk, Canada is just reducing the number of immigrants right now. Our essential services such as any affordable housing, anything medical etc etc are overloaded right now and we are working hard to fix that. Then we will welcome more immigrants for sure!
