I workrd for Rockwelll International in Toronto 2 times in 1988 and Canadians asked me if they should be our 51st State, I answered yes, but retain your culture and negotiate your Senators, so today I say make Doug Ford one of your Senators, for life. Carney is a CCCP stooge. My rockband Syntax played Rush, Loverboy and Saga.
