Questions of Immigration

So when I was visiting Max over the weekend the topic of Max actually making the move over here came up. I am beginning to think that the planets are going to have to be alined in order for this to go the right way!
First of all deciding which route to go under is going to be quite the undertaking. We could apply in one of two ways (I think): firstly, I could sponsor him to come over, which brings me to the first bump in the road, according the the definition of conjugate we cannot get married. But however if we get married before we make the application then we won't hit that bump! Now get this the Government of Canada wants to ensure the legitimacy of this relationship so they are requiring that we provide pictures and testimonials of our engagement party, the wedding, and the honeymoon! Not only that they want to know who proposed and where and what date! Yikes, I don't want to hand over my personal diary!! The second route which seems a bit easier is if Max were to apply for a residency permit on his own, he would qualify because he has the minimum requirement of "points", but has no work experience.
I am thinking right now that the easiest thing to do would be to hire a lawyer and get it done that way, I have heard that this process can take up to three years to complete!! Once Max gets his permanent residence he then has to wait three years and then he has to pass a Citizenship test to gain Canadian citizenship! Boy I tell ya if I didn't love the boy as much as I do, I don't think I would be able to handle all of this!!!

So Bush Was Here...

Yeah so Bush was here, he ate some Alberta beef and it didn't kill him. He went to Halifax to thank those who gave that trademark Canadian hospitality to those whose planes had to be grounded on 9/11, and then afterall that he wants us to supposed his missile program??? Sorry buddy don't think so, after we wasted all of out hardearned tax dollar on a few piece of shit submarines that the British army didn't want it's gonna be a bit hard to come up with some bling to support your stupid hair brained ideas!!
It took this idiot 4 years to come for a visit and it wasn't even official!!!


Speaking of idiots, Ralph Klein, the premier of Alberta was re-elected, ah shit not again! Unfortunately the Separation Party of Alberta didn't gain a seat, which would have made Alberta's political situation much more interesting. Let's face it this election campaign was a sleeper!
So there are two provinces in Canada that want to separate, and given my recent trip to Montreal and Quebec City, I think I know why!
So it will remain to be seen if whether or not public health care will be something that I will tell my grandchildren about!
