U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says we're going overboard
with whole "Elbows Up" thing, and I actually agree with him,
at least partly. Most USians have no more control over their
Hooverment (CRA&&IRS are the Hoovering parts of Gooverment)
that we do in Canada. So put down the elbows and *think*
about who, exactly, you are trading with down there and where
does Your Money Go, exactly. And when you see them something
you don' like shove your left elbow into their face and put
your Right Arm Up so as the rest of us can see.
Most of the biz we do with the Southside is pretty humanly innocuous,
but when it looks like they're building landmines or methlabs, you've
got a Duty to the rest of us that comes first.
Spare the elbows for shit that matters: carrots and granola ain't Gunz.
