Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy

Wilkins is in Regina, and in an inevitible comment used the “we’re in a post 9/11 era” to justify the potentially crippling move to require Americans and Canadians to posses either a $100 passport, or a $? US Biometric ID card. Bush and Wilkins are living in a dream world.  The increased paperwork that few Americans will bother obtaining, and few Canadians too, is going to make the border more complicated, not more secure.  And a more complicated border will make the job of Homeland Insecurity tougher, which will lead to more mistakes.

Sask. Smartest Radio Listener was:

This Spring 1917 ritual in the USA, ten years later started in Canada.

It took 30 minutes to come up with an answer. The holidays were covered and were not right. Finally Gormley gave a hint saying women would likely know better than guys. I was railroaded into thinking of things that girls would be allowed to do in 1917, which pretty much included housework, and not much else that guy’s couldn’t do too. Then the key hint of it having to do with girls and baking made it obvious. It was Girl Guide cookie sales that started in the States in 1917 and here in Canada for 1927. I had the answer, but the phone lines were plugged and I didn’t get through before another guy got to have his guess of Brownies corrected into Girl Guides.

A reader sent me the link for Wells who writes that Harper’s communication with the press is less than open or technologially modern.
