Whoa,

the most powerful man in the world was in Halifax today!

Basically to thank Canadians for their hospitality during 9/11 and to discuss free trade and other issues.

here's a link for anyone interested

How nice of him to thank the Canadians for their hospitality on 9/11

3 YEARS AFTER THE FACT!
What a jerk.

Man, so many people were here on 9/11. I know a friend of mine took in like 9 people, one of which played soccar professionally and another who worked for 20th century fox. Like a month later the Fox guy sent them a big box of DVD's.

And the people who own Moo-Moo's took in some people, so now every year there is one day when you go down in your pj's and get free ice cream because the American's pay for it. :love:

Its about friggin time we got some recognition.

Okay, maybe this is hear-say but I heard that Bush was the only Presidant to not visit Canada on his first term. If thats true, then Chretien or not, he's a jackass.

Nope, it's true.

Usually, it's been a tradition that Canada (since Canada is the United States' biggest trading partner) was the first country the President would visit. Reagan continued as did George Bush Sr. and Clinton just a few weeks after he was sworn in.

My school was letting them all use the showers that for some reason we had even though the only time I ever recall them being used was then. I donated towels.

High school? We had showers in the locker room in high school, and nobody ever used them, either. Well, unless you count to wet our heads after a really hot day of gym class. :lol:

...actually at the time I was in Elementary, which makes even less sense as to why we had showers 0.o

That's actually kinda scary. :lol:

My elementary school change rooms had showers.

The only thing we ever used em for was stealing people clothes when they were changing and getting them wet though :nod:

Oh and I have this strange memory of the change rooms being unusable due to being crammed with landings and giant fake palm trees... but that's neither here nor there, I suppose.

AnnieDreams · Post by **AnnieDreams** » 12/5/2004, 2:37 pm

Yeah, the strange thing was, we didn't have change-rooms. They were just in the bathrooms near the gym.

haha

What elementary school did you go to?

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 12/5/2004, 11:49 pm

My elementary school didn't even have a gym. :wtf:

We had gym class in the playground, or if it was raining, in the cafeteria.
