I too played Canadian Football...LOL... I know what you meant. I played quarterback got leveled a few times but was usually quick enough to get out of the way of those big tacklers, hell some of them were around 300 pounds and still in their teens. I can see how you could get hurt easily. I was fortunate to have guys who protected me for the most part.

Why decades long hockey “career” was as a defence man as was my Canadian football one (corner back). I think it was because I liked the rough housing (checking/tackling) that both involved.👍😁

It's American football and you're American.

Same way I'm European.

Think about it Mr American.

@Very-Rusty said
I understand we are considered American "North American" not to be confused with the U.S. 'American'.

I am a Proud Canadian and we will not become the 51rst state, but the U.S. is welcome to become the 11th Province. 🙂

So you think about that Mr. European. 😛

I rather like your Prime Minister. - Is there a strong candidate to replace him when he steps down?

@Very-Rusty said
Ghost,
The things is Trudeau has been in power for around a Decade now, and made some decisions people didn't like, it is always the case when a Prime Minister has been in Power for close to a Decade.

In answer to your question, I don't have any faith in any of the other Parties, or the man the liberals want to replace Trudeau, 'Mark Carney'. I just hope that ...[text shortened]... Trump, I don't even know the legalities of that. Perhaps a lawyer on here would know better.

I quite liked Mark Carney when he was the governor of the Bank of England.

@Very-Rusty said
Did you know Mark Carney moved his business to the U.S. ? He could be more on side with Trump than people realize. I don't trust him or the Conservatives leader. Moved his business to New York.

The USA is a stupid name, United States implies that it's countries united. Like the European union.

@Very-Rusty said
Everyone calls it U.S.A. Don't be so damn silly Trevor!

You are smart guy you should know they are nothing like the EU!!!

I always though we Canadians just called them, “The States”.🤔

We have called them a lot of things over they years, but yes that would be one of the things we have called them.

Have you heard many trips have been cancelled already to the U.S.A., States, or United States, however one would like to put it. 😉 Appears Canada is all on the same wave length now.

Trumpster may have done us a favor unknowingly putting on the tariff's as now they are talking about taking our provincial sales taxes off of provinces which would create free trade between the Provinces. I have thought that would have been a good thing to do for many years now, decades actually.
