Welcome! Does that mean you've lurked long enough to have read the rules and more or less identified the buoys and markers in the various shipping lanes? It sounds like new shipping lanes are opening up in your part of the world.

No shipping Hannelore with polar bears. Especially not with Doc Nickel.

Scandinavia. But he already stretched it beyond Canada, so why not the other side of the Polar Circle too!

The Great White North is actually a little further south...

And I'm just a little further North than the Great White North.

I call it the Great North Woods.

Don't forget that Windsor, Ont., is south of Detroit.

I know, I know, I used to live in Buffalo - North of Detroit, with a good chunk of Ontario technically south of it.  But that doesn't make it further north than Canada as a whole. 


I think I'm too willing to argue a meaningless point.  Especially in the Welcome! thread. 


Just pass me a beer, eh?

I looked it up once upon a time. I live further north than a good chunk of Canada's total population, eh?

(I'm further north than the GTA, Windsor, Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City.)

In fact, only four NHL teams are located further north than me.

I had to double-check my figures. I'm only further north of about 40% (+/- 2%) of the population of Canada.
