Hi curmudgeonhabsfan: I just read your note and perfectly understand your action and wish you well. The US and Canada share the longest border in the world and have been allies in almost every conflict we've been in. I have been to various parts of Canada personally and on business and found Canadians among the best that I have dealt with.

The US is currently dealing with a great deal of ugliness and I am very sorry that some of that has been directed at our friends in the North. Much of the ugliness is because of our current President who seeks o blame rather than solve issues, and to fractionalize our society. That ugliness, often to an extreme, is highly visible in this forum. The diversity in our population in both its people and their respective beliefs has been one of our key strengths. Likewise, the freedom of expression, guaranteed by our Constitution seems to be under threat daily. In this forum, the l**ting or r**ts of the very few are interpreted by many here as the actions of all. The extreme views of the few are desired to be inflicted on us all.

We have seen satire and lies posted here as gospel, even when unbiased sources prove them as falsehood. I am 70, I worry for my children and my grandchildren.

I wish you and yours well and to be safe.

The problem with politics is we look at it like a sporting event. My team vs your team when in reality we should look at the issues and look at what’s best for our country.
If we disagree cool is there really a need for all the rage and hatred.
It’s on both sides........
What goes on in the Attic is just a reflection of the attitudes in the real world.
Change starts on an individual level.

And aren't you one of them with a closed mind? Somehow you think you are different but the reality is you are not.

Buh Bye now,

I won't get into a battle of wits with an unarmed person. You might want to look in a mirror.

Do you think The Attic will miss you.....???.....Were you forced to subscribe.....???

Were you forced to read the posts.....???

Why should one care about your reasons.....???

Just go.....


Nope, nobody forced me to subscribe nor did anyone force me to read. I just couldn't believe the crap people were posting.
Sometimes an outsider's opinion brings a fresh perspective to a situation but there are too many closed minded people here. There are also good people but the bad ones were too much. Nobody needs to be as nasty as many are here.
I really don't care if the Attic misses me or not. I leave you to your own delusional world.

Canada is accepting immigrants.


LWW, there have been over 18,000 people turned away at our border because they were traveling here for non-essential purposes in the past few months.
Did you hear about the guy from Kentucky who lied to our border security agents, said he was driving to Alaska, and was then found to be vacationing in Banff. He was fined $1,200 and told to remain in his hotel room until the next morning when he was to leave. Instead he chose to do more sightseeing, was caught, and this time was arrested. He faces a fine of approx $570,000US or 6 months in jail or both.
There have been others who were in our country illegally who were escorted to the border and returned to the US.
By the way, your 2nd amendment rights don't apply here, your CCW is illegal and you can't bring firearms across our border, like the guy who was caught recently with several assault rifles, hand guns and ammunition.

Who told you that the Attic was about a hobby ?


Nobody. I just assumed UHH members would be civil in each category. Most are but there's too many uncivilized, close minded people here.

Just to set the numbers correctly re" numbers of death/cases as a result o the V***s. The population o Canada is aout 30 million. The US aout 350 million. So a comparison must take that into account. nPlus Canada is a much more rural country and that must e considered as well. When those thins are considered Canada's numers are much closer to the US numers. So get of your high horse attitude aout how much better Canada is. (Pardon my sticky keys). And while your at it. keep your arctic air.

The population of Canada is closer to 37 million people.
Did it occur to you that Alaska is north of most of Canada, maybe you should ask them to keep the freezing temps.

I joined UHH to spend time learning new things about my favourite hobby. Sadly I found the Attic. I can’t believe the nastiness that is regularly exchanged here by very opinionated people.

I’m proudly Canadian and while I can’t v**e in the upcoming American e******n, what America decides will have a profound impact on not only America but the rest of the world. Your president wants to make America great again. It always was, at least until 2016 in my opinion. Since then the world has witnessed America’s fall from the world stage. America is no longer seen as a valued ally and friend because your government treats allies as enemies and enemies as friends.

Your president recently imposed a tariff on aluminum, a product your country can’t satisfy the demand for, on Canadian imports because apparently we pose a threat to your national security. Really? WTF? This tariff was recently removed “after consultation with the Canadian government but may be reinstated in the future”. You don’t suppose this was done so that Canada wouldn’t impose dollar for dollar import duties on a host of American made products, do you? Maybe he didn’t want to piss of Whirlpool appliances or bourbon distillers or golf club manufacturers so close to November 3rd.
By the way, there was no consultation with the Canadian government according to our deputy Prime Minister.

Your president yesterday announced that the Canada/US border would remain closed until October 21st even though Canada wants the border to re-open. Huh? Today’s statistics show that Canada has had 141,911 cases of C****-** which resulted in 9,205 deaths, according to worldometers.info. The US has had 6,929,395 cases resulting in 203,230 deaths according to the same source.
A writer for the Seattle Times wrote that America is seen as a Petri dish by the rest of the world. I mentioned that fact in another post and it was pointed out that the newspaper was nothing but a rag. F**e News!

Again, there was no consultation with the Canadian government as to Canada wanting to re-open the border. In fact, over 80% of Canadians surveyed want the border to remain closed until at least January 1, 2021.
If your president decides that herd immunity is the cure to C****-**, how long will that take? Our border should remain closed until then. Are you not shocked that even in a best case scenario, almost 3,000,000 Americans will die while herd immunity takes effect?
I know there will be people who deny these numbers, the CDC says under 10,000 deaths from C***d, etc, etc. Look at the recent appointments made to the CDC and have you noticed the reporting is suddenly more favourable for your president?

I could go on and talk about the moves to dismantle your postal service, the forest fire situation on the west coast, Puerto Rico, flooding on the east coast but I know my words would be wasted on those who have been blinded by some politicians.

There’s an American group, the Parody Project, that writes “Your right to representative democracy is done, it is money who determines all the candidates who run” , sung to the tune Battle Hymn of the Republic. You should check it out and their other work.

I truly won’t miss The Attic.

With being dishonest an acceptable way of doing business today, who and what do you believe? Who and what do you trust?

How did we get to this sad place in life and can we fix it? Until then take care of you and your family, do what you think is right and tell the ruling class to piss up a rope!!


Yup, who do you trust, the dedicated scientists with years of training or politicians who rely on hunches and only care about re-e******n, regardless of the human cost?

I read this morning that we’re fighting two p******cs - C****-** and stupidity.

reglegfrog, I completely agree with you - take care of you and your family, do what you think is right and tell the ruling class to piss up a rope!!

The latest numbers from worldometers this morning shows the US has 6,522,321 C***d cases and 194,405 deaths. Question - is the number of cases being disputed too or is it just the death total?
