The original saying was in Spanish about Mexico
'pobre Mexico, muy lejo de Dios, muy circa a Estados Unidos' (please forgive my Spanish spelling)....'poor Mexico, so far from God, so close to the US.'
Canada has been on the luckier side of the US so far.
But hey, between blue state emigration and the red states being annexed by Mexico, things could get pretty interesting in Canada yet.
Late Happy Thanksgiving,
