I think we should have ceded California to them in that treaty though. It could have been fun

I guess it would only have made the Alaska purchase more expensive. Either that or the Brits (that were present in the Pacific NW too) would have taken over.

No no, I mean in the treaty we signed in 2000.

We were invited!  The polar bears had a referendum.

I kick all y'all's ass.  I'm too old for Facebook.

I've never had facebook or any social media account at all besides my account on languish, paradox (not used in forever), and linkedin (not updated since the last time i was looking for a job).

Nobody is too old for Facebook.

I unfollowed everyone on FB, it works great. There's basically nothing of interest in my timeline, so I never feel the urge to check. If I want to know how someone is doing I have to look them up. It doesn't happen a lot.

Wise move, maybe I'l try that and give it a look, one day.

Lowe's is pulling a Target and is exiting the Canadian market by selling it's assets for 400 millions. Lowe's had bought the Rona network 3 years ago for 3.2 billions.

Lowe's was bamboozled so hard by Rona's former owners.

When will they learn, eh.

Surprised. Thought they were doing ok.  Definitely not the same public train wreck that target was.

Learn Canada isn't worth it?

And I though I was the least connected person.

In some ways, yes.

So that leaves us Home Depot and Canadian Tire, I guess. Or will someone take over their shops and keep running them?

They are selling the stores to a Investment firm out of NYC. I expect that most stores will stay open. Also expect Lowes store in RoC to be renamed to a Rona trademark. (Ace, Lumber Mart, Reno-Depot & Rona are options)
