Hello [View all]

I’m a middle-aged Canadian fellow who has been following this board for many years. I never had an inclination to join, being a foreigner, but in these insane times, it seems to me that our citizenships should almost likely be determined by our sanity rather than our birthplaces.

I’ve just been enabled to post and it seems the protocol is to post in the lounge first. So that’s what I’m doing. Just saying hello and feeling grateful to be able to participate in discussions with sane people. We have our insane up in Canada too, don’t forget. Our Trucker “Freedom Convoy” storming our parliament just a few blocks from where I live, is proof of that. Thanks for having me.
