Welcome to Canada - USA Dialogue. I am your host, a lifelong resident of Washington State, who has posted on others' blogs but am starting up my own. Somehow, in the process of living in the northwest portion of Washington, I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and interest in our Canadian neighbours. My goal here is to engage in intelligent, critical dialogue. Further your affiant sayeth naught. WELCOME
