That's right Kevin. Most of us get angry from time to time. I appreciate your wealth of information on Las Vegas and you keep the forums interesting as well.
It's a diversion from the politics of Western Canada right now. I am heading to Vegas on Monday, as I need a change of scenery.
Western Canada in particular? I know the provinces of Canada have more autonomy than the states of America, and the provincial premiers have more power than US state governors. I also seem to recall that historically, BC and Alberta have marched to the beat of their own drummers and don't always agree with Ottawa.
For that matter, it's always seemed to me that any Canadian province or US state that is on the border has more in common with its cross-border neighbors than with its same-country neighbors. So it seems like BC and Washington are very much alike, as are Montana and Alberta, etc.
So since we here in the Pacific Northwest don't exactly see eye to eye with our benevolent overlords in Washington right now, and historically haven't, maybe there's a parallel?
