by snowbird ini learned about y'all in the second grade, and fell in love with your beautiful land.. my geography book was filled with pictures of your wheat fields, lakes, rivers, and smiling people.. one of the ancestors, an aunt of hank aaron, used to regale us with wonderful stories of her visits to your country: the cleanliness, the warmth and friendliness of the people, and the lack of overt racial prejudice.. later on, i read about the underground railroad.
my heart swelled with admiration and respect as i found out how your country welcomed fugitive slaves.. my resolve is to visit y'all one of these fine days and see for myself what i've been told.
my little jw daughter and her dad have been there, and they both agree that canada is a land of freedom and opportunity.. to the canucks on this here forum, i salute you, as you only reinforce what i've been told about y'all.

Consider it an educational thread. Everyone is talking about (aboot) all the great places to visit in Canada and some Canadians dont' know the difference between canola and mustard.

I'm going to Iles de Madeleine, leaving on Friday.
They are islands off the coast of PEI, but actually belonging to Quebec.
Can't wait, it's my first time in the Maritimes and we will be there for Lobster Festival!
Yummy!

jgnat:
*raises hand* also from the prairies. Ummm, that "mustard" field you are glowing about is canola.
Just to clarify:
Yes, canola fields are yellow. As are mustard fields. I am from Saskatchewan, NOT Alberta. My grandfather harvested mustard for several years, then switched over to flax.

All the Mustard used on Yankee Stadium hotdogs comes from Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan - Chances are whether you are enjoying yellow, brown or oriental, the seeds used for your mustard were probably grown in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan producers are the world's largest mustard exporters. Three to four hundred thousand acres are utilized for growing mustard seed. In a February 2005 speech to the Empire Club of Canada, Saskatchewan's Premier Lorne Calvert said: "Every drop of mustard on a Yankee Stadium hotdog now comes from Saskatchewan." According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Canada is the world's single largest exporter of mustard seed and among the top five producers in the world. Over 80 percent of Canada's mustard crop is grown in Saskatchewan, including the brown mustard seed used for Dijon (when favoured by Obama he was called an elitist.) Mustard began to be grown in North America after supplies from Europe were cut off during WWII. Plants are 30 to 45 inches high with yellow flowers. (Read more from the Encyclopedia of Regina)
Where: A company 1 hr and 40 minutes south west of Moose Jaw in Gravelbourg, has actually branded itself: Mustard Capital Inc.
In The News: The 'Great Saskatchewan Mustard Festival' is held annually in Regina in early August. Curious: The mustard plant is actually a member of the Brassica family.That's the same family as cabbage, broccoli and Brussel sprouts.

Terrible Analogy at a Convention
by ApostateDance ini'd love to know what you guys think of this.
brother jackson (from the governing body) had this "neat" analogy at the very end of the convention.
he said; "what if you were watching a football game on tv, and it was the trojans against the fighting irish, and it's been a good game.

It's a stupid analogy.
The runner knows exactly where the goal post is - he can see it clearly and doesn't need to stop and ask for directions or a time count.
The WTS hides the goal posts, you don't know if you're a yard away or 50 yards away. And just when you think you're close, they move the goal post.

Hi, Newbie Here
by Iseenow inwell i have been lurking for the past couple of weeks and have finally decided to create an account.
just wanted to introduce myself and relate my life story in the borg, specifically from the past few weeks- which i think has been a lot easier than many on the board.
anyway, my mum began to study when i was 10 (2005) and since then has been babtized; she strongly believes it is the truth.

Syl:
It's the prairies and mountains that I find most fascinating.
I am originally from the prairies. When the wind blows through a wheat field, it looks like waves on the ocean. And a field of lavendar colored flax blossoms or bright yellow mustard field, is truly beautiful.
