The Land of the Law

Upon the mild mannered Canucks, Descended an army of trucks. In the capital town To bring the government down… A town full of lawyers, good luck!

A beauty, Maureen. My friends in Ottawa were happy to see the truckers leave. They gave the noisy protesters a finger salute. Be well. Brian

It was so noisy! I’d have lost my mind if I still lived downtown. Was still a booming racket 2k away. Thank you Brian! Warm wishes to you. xomo

Lawyers could do that, Mo. But Canada is no banana republic. U are among Patriots & democrats if note. Shalom shalom

Land of law? I just googled your Defence budget and Canada only spends $22-billion on its military compared to the USA's $768-billion. No wonder you can afford health, education, housing, and traffic jams! Aloha!

It was actually a 21 year old lady who started the law suit about the incessant horns, it’s grown to include citizens and affected businesses of the entire affected area.
